Sometimes all we need is a little guidance to help us combat darkness, move past hurdles, and restore our sense of 'self'. My goal as your therapist is to help you heal, while equipping you with skills that allow you to take on life's challenges, such as: bolstering communication, emotional regulation, and self-empowerment. We can work together to free your world from unwanted guests like anxiety and depression, while learning ways to invite self-love. In order to make transformative changes to your life, I incorporate evidence-based approaches including: CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Behavioural Skills Training, and more!
I am a Behaviour Analyst and the Clinical Supervisor at Hatch-Me Therapy & Counselling Services. Along with my educational background and natural abilities, I have extensive experience helping clients with a spectrum of challenges across Canada and the USA. If you need emotional healing, cognitive restructuring, or lifestyle management, I'm here to help.
As a minority and member of the LGBT+ community, I am no stranger to struggles and will proudly be your ally on this journey. I genuinely care about my clients and am available to support you even between sessions (via text or brief calls) at no additional cost. Feel free to give me a call so I can help you ignite hope and restore light to your world.
