I tend to work primarily with kids, youth and adults who want to work through topics of ADHD, Addiction, Harm Reduction and Trauma. I also love working with folks who hate the idea of counselling. I base my work primarily off of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Nature Assisted Therapy which are a bunch of counselling lingo to say that I work with folks online, in nature, and through adventure (rock climbing, hiking, etc) to talk about life, explore different ways of thinking, and set goals you feel good about.

For me, the ideal client is someone who is committed to their own healing journey and understands that participating in therapy is a lifelong process. I deeply believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and happy life, and that seeking therapy is a courageous step towards achieving that. As a therapist, I have found that the most rewarding experiences come from working with clients who are willing to put in the effort and dedication to their own growth and healing. I feel honored to walk alongside these clients on their journey, providing support, guidance, and compassion as they navigate the ups and downs of life.

My clients and I have addressed their depression, anxiety, emotional struggles, and trouble getting along with others. I greatly enjoy working with adults of all ages and life stages. I work psychodynamically and interpersonally, providing individuals with respect, empathy, and acceptance. Further, I provide the necessary encouragement and support for making difficult but important life changes. Many of my clients have found that therapy has helped them to feel a new sense of freedom and enthusiasm, both within themselves and in their relationships with friends, family, and co-workers.

The issues that I deal a lot with are trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. My ideal client would want to create goals and strategies that can help produce change in their lives. I have found that creating a safe space, where collaboration, openness, mutual trust, and self-awareness can lead to an attitude of change and a willingness to do so.

I have a passion for being active. Following this passion, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and a Master’s Degree in Sport Psychology. I have had the privilege of working with student-athletes, providing mental training for athletes and coaches, and coaching gymnastics across the US and Canada. I have used these experiences during my sessions with weekend warriors, athletes, coaches, and even those who hate sport. As I worked with these individuals, I saw the challenges they faced also affected their families. This prompted me to continue my education to add a focus on Marriage and Family therapy.

It all begins with a first step. Maybe you're feeling burnt out or want to make a change. Perhaps you are exploring some of life's deeper questions. Or maybe you want to find your voice through creativity. Whatever it is, the way we approach your path can make all the difference. Often it is hard to describe the kind of change we are seeking, we just know that things can't continue as they are. That feeling of uncertainty that comes with new terrain is common, and part of my role as a therapist is to assist you in exploring and defining your needs as they evolve.
