Psychotherapy and counselling can help individuals gain self-awareness and facilitate personal growth. Seeking psychotherapy can be a daunting task, and I’d like to acknowledge that you have taken a big step by reviewing potential therapists to meet with.

​

The goal of my practice is to facilitate conversations with you in order to find your unique way of processing your experiences and the feelings that accompany them. The scope of my practice includes working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, as well as a specialization in perinatal mental health. As a parent, I understand the many struggles that accompany bringing a baby into your home. This immense transition requires care and support to help ensure balance in the household. I offer an inviting space for all clients to share their innermost concerns and feelings.

​

My theoretical approach is empathic, compassionate, and non-judgmental with a strong client focused approach. I utilize a variety of techniques that stem from positive psychology, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, as well as acceptance and commitment therapy and EMDR. I believe it is my role to help clients uncover the strength they hold within and take strides towards becoming the person they would like to be.
