I hope to walk alongside you, to empower you to invest in your wellness as we explore your strengths, values and areas of growth.

However, it can be challenging to open up and be vulnerable in beginning this process, and I want to acknowledge the courage it took for you to take this first step toward your healing and personal growth. Through a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment to foster self-exploration, awareness, and self-compassion.

As a clinician, I maintain a solution-focused approach while incorporating different strategies tailored to each client’s unique needs. These include mindfulness and acceptance-based as well as existential-humanistic therapeutic techniques.

I have experience working with late adolescents to older adults, with both individuals and couples. I primarily work with young adults, who are faced with varying life challenges including, depression, anxiety, stress and psychosis.

I've come to this professional life as a therapist after years as an English instructor (ESL), a server, and a professional musician. Many of us these days are feeling depressed and/or anxious about life and how to move forward. We are looking for direction in our lives and relief from our problems. I know that it requires courage to trust another with your story, but there is so much to be gained from speaking about it. Together, we can work to discover a deeper sense and better understanding of who you are as a person. When you're ready, I'll be ready as well and we can work to change your life for the better.

Stepping into therapy can bring a sense of uncertainty for many; it's a process, not a light switch. I offer unwavering support in helping improve your relationship with your internal and external world.

I hold a deep interest and respect for the people that I work with. My therapeutic style can be described as authentic, compassionate, and engaged.

You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, intimate partnerships and friendships.

I am naturally drawn to a Solution Focused approach; however, I utilize interventions from several different modalities and maintain an overall humanistic approach to working with clients. I work with clients being challenged by anxiety, depression, and relationship issues in their daily lives. I believe that our personal experiences impact the way we view the world, and our emotions play a key role in our behaviour and choices.
