I'm so glad you're here, let's get started.

Counselling Philosophies
What you can expect?
Each person is the expert of their own lives; sometimes we just need a little help along the way. I believe we all have a deep longing for similar things: connection, authenticity, belonging, and being understood.
​
I work with pre-teens (11-12), teens (13-18), adults (19+) and couples. My approach to therapy is holistic and client centered, with focuses in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing skills to help you find a balance and flow of what will help you reach your full potential.
​
Some of my areas of focus are anxiety, self-worth, bullying, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in teenagers and young adults; families with children, teenagers and young adults; and blended families. I also work with individuals who struggle with anger management, identity and existential issues and crises, workplace stress, and day-to-day life concerns. I strive to make my office a safe space that is non-judgmental, where you can be heard, maybe for the first time in your life.
My office is a safe space to heal, grow and rediscover yourself. If you’re looking for a therapist who is relaxed and open to all areas of conversation and ideas, let's connect!
