Believing that humans have the capacity for meaningful growth, I adopt a person-centred approach to support safe and non-judgemental exploration in my therapeutic work with clients. My practice is grounded in inclusivity and respect for all individuals. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to providing culturally sensitive care that honors the diverse experiences and needs of clients. I acknowledge ancestral and unceded territory of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem First Nation) which I work, live, and play.
From a foundation of acceptance, I support the development of value-based therapeutic goals using evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) principles and skills, and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) for parenting support.
It takes a lot to reach out. Whether you are looking for support with painful emotions, finding fulfilment, and improving relationships with those you care about. I am here for any additional information or questions about beginning or continuing your mental health support..
