Regardless of the path you have taken to seeking out therapy, my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space for you to determine how best to move forward.

You are hurt beyond belief. The person you trusted. The person that committed to you. The person who told you that they love you.... is the person that has betrayed you!

My practice is client centered, and connection focused. I believe through creating a validating and safe space to process difficulties, important skills can be learned that will help create change in your life.

Unlock Your Inner Transformation with Client-Centered Psychotherapy. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer person-centred therapy to adults to help them unlock their inner transformation and find clarity and meaning in their life. Person-centred therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach which emphasizes a focus on the client's internal thought process, feelings and experiences, instead of focusing on diagnosing and labelling them. This therapeutic approach allows clients to take an active role in their therapy by leading the process, while also providing support, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

My practice is trauma-informed, relational and my approach is nonjudgemental, empathic and direct.

Life can be challenging and take its toll. Though we're all doing the best we can, given our circumstances and the resources available to us, we all struggle sometimes and often need extra help from others to flourish. If you're reading this, then maybe you're considering therapy as one of those helpful resources for yourself. My one-on-one clinical work with adults experiencing a range of issues – anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, interpersonal conflict, major life transitions, and identity-related struggles, among others – has shown me just how helpful therapy can be.

I provide psychotherapy to clients struggling with issues primarily related to trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, abuse, and addiction. It can be extremely overwhelming to cope with one's difficulties, however fostering a strong and collaborative therapeutic relationship can make this process more manageable. I assist my clients in achieving their goals by using a variety of therapeutic modalities, approaches, and techniques that I modify to meet their unique and individual needs.
