My Approach

BSc, MA, CCC, LCT-C

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all.

I work from a humanistic, person-centred, and strengths-based perspective. Ultimately, you are the expert on your own life. My role isn't to tell you who you should be or what you should do, but to help you better understand yourself, explore what is getting in the way, and find a way forward that feels right for you.

I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches, including, but not limited to:

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Narrative Therapy

We don't have to decide on a particular approach before we begin. What we use (and how we use it) is something we'll figure out together based on what you're looking for and what feels useful.

Therapeutic Focus

I work with adults and youth (12+) navigating things like...

Anxiety, worry and overwhelm
Depression and low mood
Anger and emotional regulation
ADHD and executive functioning
Addictions and substance misuse
Relationship difficulties and major life changes
Postpartum adjustment and the transition to parenthood
Self-worth, identity and belonging
Gender identity, sexual orientation, 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and minority stress
Suicidal thoughts and feeling like things have become too much

You don't need to see yourself neatly in one of these categories to reach out. Therapy can also be a space to work through something that is difficult to name or understand.

Discover. Renew. Live.
