Life can throw us curveballs, and sometimes it helps to navigate these challenges with a mental health professional. I believe therapy is most effective when there is a strong therapeutic relationship and a clear understanding of the factors that underlie a person's concerns. Therefore, I spend time during our initial sessions exploring your personal history, developing a collaborative treatment plan, and helping you get to the root of your concerns.
I provide evidence-based therapy to help people increase their self-awareness, identify unhelpful behaviours, and cope more effectively with challenges. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where each client feels heard, understood, and respected. I provide 2SLGBTQ+ affirming care that is intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed.
I know how important it is to find the right fit with your therapist. Therefore, I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so we can get to know each other better before beginning therapy. Please contact me to book an appointment or consultation.
