With a background in Education and Social Work, I am honoured to have the opportunity build a connection with the children, teens and young adults I work with. Reaching out and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is such a difficult thing to do. My goal is to focus on the importance of connection in order to build a strong therapeutic rapport. Having a strong connection, feeling seen, heard and validated are important parts of my practice. This allows me to work alongside the people who enter my office, to build on their current strengths and to incorporate new skills in order to navigate their daily lives effectively
The most important thing I have to offer is a safe, non-judgmental environment where there will be a focus on connection and support. I offer evidence-based approaches that I have been trained in such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and play-based therapy.
Currently, I offer counselling services to pre-teens, teens, and adults. I look forward to hearing from you and offering a safe space to land. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and connected. I work from a person-centered framework so we can walk along your journey together, at your pace.
