I currently offer both in-person and online services.
About
My psychotherapy approach is growth oriented, and focuses on helping clients develop insight and take action that leads to greater fulfillment, satisfaction and ease in their lives. I work with clients experiencing a variety of forms of psychological and interpersonal distress, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues and sexual concerns.
I bring an engaged, curious and easy-going approach to sessions, and share reflections and ideas in order to offer clients new perspectives. I use a variety of evidence based therapy models including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method. My clinical practice is trauma informed, queer friendly and sex positive.
I currently see clients virtually and in person at my clinic in Queen West. I am currently accepting new clients. Please get in touch to learn more about the services I provide and how I might be able to help.
