Life can be challenging and sometimes it can be hard to know the steps we need to take to better understand ourselves and live the life we want to live. I work from the perspective that being a human is hard and that we all face struggles throughout our life. While these challenges may be unavoidable, therapy can provide a place to feel seen and help shift your perspective, discover more about yourself, connect with your feelings, and discover meaning from your experiences.
I work with adults, teens, and couples and use a variety of modalities to find the best approach for you. I approach therapy collaboratively and from a trauma-informed lens to provide a nonjudgmental and safe environment filled with curiosity, humour, and honesty.
Reaching out for help and opening up can be frightening and I hope that I can provide a safe place to share and help you find your way to the right path for you.
