Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or moving forward from the past? Does it affect your daily life, relationships, work, or school? Are you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed? Together we can identify what's holding you back from growth and change. Coping with and managing change can be difficult to do alone. In therapy, we can aim to develop strategies that will make things easier for you. I take a genuine and warm, client-centred approach when working with teenagers, students, & adults.
Therapy is different for everyone. I tailor my work to fit the unique needs of my clients. I specialize in EMDR. My work is also rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness-based strategies, Trauma-Informed Care, & a bit of humour. My goal is to offer you a safe and non-judgemental space, where we can work collaboratively to improve your well-being.
Beginning therapy takes strength and courage. I will be here to listen and support you. I invite you to contact me, so we can embark on your healing journey together. You can visit my website to book your free 15 minute consultation directly. I respond to all emails within 24 hours. Please check your spam folder if you haven't heard back.
