The treatment types that I use are ERP, IBT (or I-CBT), and ACT.
Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts, images, impulses or urges that cause you anxiety? Are you confined to a personal prison due to your compulsions? You keep having these thoughts and feelings that feel completely irrational, but you can't help but keep doubting yourself? It feels so real, and you wish you could just find that certainty that you're desperate for.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), and humanistic approaches.
With several years of experience as a community-based Youth Wellness Worker, I bring a strong foundation in holistic and culturally responsive care, where I integrate traditional perspectives and a deep understanding of intergenerational trauma. While I am deeply committed to supporting Indigenous clients and communities, I am equally passionate about supporting all clients, regardless of cultural background, who could use support.
I value creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck in patterns of disconnection,whether in their relationship, or within themselves. They may struggle with communication, trust, or navigating sexuality, or they may feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or insomnia that keeps them from feeling fully present. What they want most is to feel understood, connected, and capable of change. Their goals are to build healthier relationships, develop a stronger sense of self, and create balance in their lives. They seek therapy because they’re ready to move toward a more authentic, fulfilling way of living and want to be supported fully along the way.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
