I specialize in addictions, co-occurring mental health concerns, and trauma. I have experience working closely with individuals from all walks of life who have struggled with moderate to severe mental health and addiction issues. I approach my work with a holistic, inclusive, trauma-informed lens to better understand the inner complexities an individual might struggle with, often due to many outer complexities. Social justice and anti-racist perspectives inform my work, and I recognize the harm our current system has on the psyche, as isolation, scarcity, and disconnection continue to rise.
My approach is integrative. I draw upon various therapeutic approaches, including mindfulness-based, EMDR, and somatics. It is always an honour to hear an individual's story. You are the expert in your life, and I will individualize the support you seek, building off your current strengths and resilience.
Taking the initial step to seek help is a significant step in your life journey. Healing is not always linear, and I am here to meet you at whatever point you might be. I hope to help you untangle and make sense of some of the complexities of being human, and along the way, I hope to help empower you so you can return to who you desire to be in this world.
