I'm passionate about creating a space that is empowering, non-judgmental and compassionate. I believe the relationship between the therapist and the client is integral to the process of therapy, and as such, I put emphasis on building a connection where you can be seen and supported. I use an integrative approach to therapy and utilize a trauma-informed, person-centered lens to explore healing, with techniques from an array of models of therapy. I work with my clients to address the root cause of present day concerns through intentional, pro-active listening and collaborate with my clients strengths.
I have a Master’s in counselling psychology, as well as a bachelors in grief, bereavement, trauma and loss studies. I have learned and lived experience in the mental health field, as well as in education. I have experience with/special interests in OCD, trauma, spirituality, and neurodivergence (ASD/ADHD).
It takes courage to show up for yourself. You've started the search, and whether it's me or someone else, you deserve the support you're seeking! Be kind to yourself! All of you is welcome here.
