Counselling is a personal and individualized journey, and it is important that you find someone who matches your needs. I offer virtual and in person therapy services through evidence-based approaches. I take the approach that you cannot choose what life has thrown at you, but we can work together to try and make things better. Everyone comes to therapy with their own life experience and perspective; I want to honour your journey and be a source of support toward a more fulfilling life
I have 9+ years of experience working in community and hospital mental health settings. Through this work I have learned how to work with a variety of clients' needs including children, youth, adults, and families. Many of the clients I support have experience with suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, and more.
In my practice, I prioritize building rapport, transparent communication, and fostering a safe environment for individuals to heal. Everyone’s life circumstances are unique and I am dedicated to adapting my practice to meet the needs of each client. I offer 15-30 minute free consultations to get to know each other better and ensure that we are a good match
