For people of all ages, difficulties in life may result from a lost connection with one’s internal experience. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to attend closely to one’s thoughts and feelings in a safe, supportive environment. In child therapy, play is the primary mode of communication. Through play, children explore their internal world, rehearse for life, process past events, practice creativity, and learn to moderate themselves. As children begin to feel understood and understand themselves, their internal experience can become their guide to being in the world.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and collaborative. I draw on a range of modalities, including psychodynamic, relational, and attachment theories, as well as dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and narrative therapy, to meet my clients’ unique needs and experiences. My commitment to anti-oppressive, liberatory, and feminist principles means that I pay close attention to how systems and cultures shape us. I seek to foster a warm and transparent therapeutic environment that is welcoming of clients’ authentic voices.

I adapt my treatment approach to meet the unique needs of each of my clients. I centre interpersonal relationships and my clients’ individual strengths, using their agency to guide the therapeutic process. I focus on identifying individual patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, including how these develop through interactions with others and the environment. I also support clients in exploring their identity and the ways in which the systems around them impact their experience. I support clients in identifying how they want to interact with these systems and working towards these changes.

My ideal client would be someone who has not had much success with counseling in the past but is very motivated to participate. I would love to work with a client who has struggled with depression, anxiety, some substance use, and has a history of trauma. I would work to help this client recognize how these issues are connected and perpetuate a cycle. I would also want to help them interrupt that cycle and set boundaries with themselves and in interpersonal relationships. I would work with this client to find healthy hobbies and coping skills while also challenging them.

Welcome. Finding a therapist, whether for the first time or umpteenth, is daunting. For clients who have tried therapy many times previously, you will find me to be honest, warm, compassionate and direct. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and through our connection and work we will strive to create long-lasting, sustainable change. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is collaborative and authentic and I consider it a privilege to support my clients in their self exploration and growth.

Welcome. I'm glad you made the decision to seek out help and begin the process of feeling better. For many, this first step is difficult. It's important to find a therapist who is a good match in terms of style and therapeutic approach. My style of therapy is a collaborative process in which we work together to identify what you want your life to be like and how best to make that happen. I work to provide a nonjudgmental space in which clients are better able to discuss difficult topics, keeping an open mind throughout the therapy process.

Do you overthink everything or are you too caught up in the “what ifs” in your head that you ensure you stay stuck? Are you too focused on making other people happy that you have lost track of yourself? Maybe you are your own worst enemy- with a well-honed inner critic that has been shit talking you for awhile now, reminding you of all the things you are messing up or getting wrong. You are doing your best- caffeine, multitasking, or white knuckling it may be getting you through (kind of), but at the end of the day you are exhausted and overwhelmed. You want to feel connected, loved, and self-confident.

Entering therapy is courageous. It can be a transformational space, a bridge from suffering to the discovery of choices that enable people to actively engage life. Depression, anxiety, fear and difficult feelings are not indicative of sickness, but rather signals that call for self-care, curiosity and empathy. I believe people's strengths are integral in the therapeutic process; I seek to help people access their humor, resilience, courage, intelligence, sensitivity and honesty throughout the healing process.

I welcome people from all walks of life and with all kinds of issues into my practice. Some people come to see me for a particular problem, like anxiety or depression; others are simply looking to understand themselves better. I see many college and graduate students who are looking for support as they face academic stress, relationship issues, and the question of what to do after graduation. I also work with women at various life stages who are struggling to balance competing demands, or who may be facing specific challenges like relationship issues, divorce, or infertility.

Acknowledging that we cannot face life’s challenges alone and making the decision to ask for help is one of the most scary and courageous actions a person can take. I work from the perspective that all behaviors, thoughts, and feelings make sense within the context of our lives. At times though, things that once helped us cope with our circumstances no longer serve their purpose, but the thought of letting go or healing can feel overwhelming. My goal is to help clients gain better insight into their experiences while empowering a greater capacity for self-compassion and change.
