You can expect a very authentic approach from me. I want you to see the commonality in our humanness. I understand coming to counselling can feel scary or intimating, so I work hard to relieve those feelings as soon as we meet. With that, humour will absolutely be sprinkled in our sessions when appropriate. My approach tends to be very relaxed, collaborative, and relatively direct. I am extremely passionate about the work I do and want to ensure I give clients a good therapeutic experience. You truly should feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

In my sessions, I encourage clients to discover new perspectives, process aspects of their lives, learn to understand their experiences better and focus on personal strengths to work towards healing. I thoroughly enjoy working with both individuals and couples. I rejoice in helping individuals with a variety of issues, however, my core interests and competencies lie in helping clients with relationship issues, understanding and working through ingrained beliefs and narratives from our past, body image concerns, sexuality, identity development, and anxiety. When helping couples, it is my goal to help them work towards having a happier relationship by managing conflict, increasing awareness of counterproductive relational patterns, and, increasing friendship, intimacy, trust, and respect between partners.

I recognize each client/couple is unique and deserves their therapy to be independently tailored to their unique personalities and concerns. As a result, I am person-centred at my core. I will adjust to each client differently and draw from various approaches to create a customized experience that will best fit a client’s needs. I will integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Attachment Theory, Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, Psychoanalytic Theory, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), and The Gottman Method to Couple’s Therapy.

I genuinely believe it is a privilege to be a therapist and have clients trust me with their personal affairs and internal worlds. With that, I look forward to learning from each client and walking beside them in their journey toward healing.
