Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Counsellor 

I believe that feeling safe, understood, and accepted is an important part of the therapeutic journey. I prioritize creating a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable exploring what matters most to them. For me, therapy is grounded in authentic human connection, built on trust, respect,
openness, and genuine curiosity about each person’s unique story and experience.

I believe people often carry within themselves the wisdom, strengths, and answers they need, even when those things are hard to access during challenging times. Therapy can offer a space to make sense of what you are experiencing, reconnect with these inner resources, and gain insight. I meet my clients wherever they are in their journey and walk alongside them as they explore their experiences, relationships, values, and what gives their lives meaning.

My approach is relational, person-centred, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, intersectional, and anti-oppressive. I draw on tools from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, integrating these and other approaches in ways that respond to each client’s specific needs, experiences, and
goals. Whether working with individuals or couples and other types of relationships, I see therapy as a collaborative process that adapts to your unique situation, making space for difficult experiences, recognizing existing strengths, and exploring possibilities for meaningful change and growth.
