Many of us have become masters in pretending that things are fine, when in reality our lives seem to be falling apart. Inside we feel like we’re drowning: overwhelmed by emotion, lost, & hopeless as we try to carry the burden of unresolved trauma, pain, & life’s curveballs hurled our way. Pushing aside these problems to get through each day to manage life’s responsibilities, we find ourselves numb, depressed, anxious, self-medicating, isolating, angry, & struggling with relationships. Together, we can work towards confronting unhealthy behaviours, understanding emotions, & healing from past trauma to create transformational change.

The relationship between you as a client and me as the therapist is extremely important. Recognizing this, I personalize my eclectic methods based on your individual needs, placing you as the expert and me as a guider on your mental health journey. Together we will work together to establish your goals and ways to achieve these. My therapeutic approach focuses on meeting you where you are, using your strengths, and supporting you unconditionally with the use of several evidence-based methods.
