I have been providing therapy in areas of mental health, specializing in trauma processing, anxiety, depression, PTSD, self esteem & self worth and helping individuals who have experienced domestic violence and sexual assault. I have also assists youth with special needs and individuals with FASD. I also have substantial experience working with diverse populations such as the LGBTQ2S+ community, Indigenous communities specifically First Nation, Inuit, and Metis population.
I focus on a client centred practice but I also recognize at times it takes a community to assist individuals, couples, and families in their time of need. I work from a holistic approach focusing on the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical aspects of people I suppport.
I strive to work side by side with clients and provide them with a safe non- judgemental space for them to process their experiences, feelings, and emotions. Throughout my career, I always believed that learning about the similarities and differences of other people and other cultures are vital in forming therapeutic relationships with people I support.
