Biography

Hi there,

When working with me as your counsellor, my main priority will always be to create a safe and welcoming space for you that starts from day one. Taking the leap to begin therapy can often come with a lot of uncertainty and my hope is that together we can collaboratively work toward your goals in a way that feels both authentic and supportive of your individual needs. I personally believe in a client-centered approach and will draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Narrative Therapy or Internal Family Systems, however my personal philosophy is to work from an integrative lens.

I truly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, however some of my areas of interest include: stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem and work-place issues. Building a therapeutic relationship that is rooted in compassion, trust and respect is one of the most powerful therapeutic tools that can be utilized and in the work that I’ve done with clients I wholeheartedly believe this to be true.

I currently hold a BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology, a Bachelor of Education and a
Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

I look forward to working with you if you feel that we would be a good fit.
