I believe an integral piece of therapy is in forming a safe and open space for connection. I am committed and blessed to meet clients where they are, whether in life’s struggles or growth. I am here to walk with clients through relational difficulties, adapting to life stages or life’s other hard things. As a therapist, I will hold space for the pain and the healing through genuine curiosity and empathy. As a client, I will support your autonomy and healing simultaneously. Therapy is unique to the client’s story and goals, whether to process or journey through an experience or develop new strategies or plans.
I have a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, and am an associate with CAMFT (Canadian Association of Marriage and Family Therapists), as well as a Canadian Certified Counsellor with CCPA (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association).
I am dedicated to working with individuals, couples, or families in a relational, person-centered approach. As a trauma-informed and trained therapist, I have acquired competency through narrative therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT) as well as through an attachment lens.
