I believe in providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where people can share openly and explore the difficult and painful parts of life. I see therapy as a collaboration between clients and myself where clients are empowered to grow, heal, and create lasting change in their lives. Witnessing transformation in the lives of my clients is a great privilege, and I feel a deep sense of joy and gratitude to be a part of this experience.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, relationship concerns, work concerns, parenting issues, life transitions, self-worth, spirituality, chronic health conditions, and pain.
My Approach
I believe that the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor creates a safe place for healing, and the therapeutic approach provides the tools needed for change. In my practice, I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy. I believe in providing education to clients on treatment options and approaches and collaborating with them to find the best fit. I also value feedback from clients to guide and inform the treatment process and to ensure they experience meaningful change.
Educational and Professional Background
