Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Welcome. It can be difficult to reach out for help, so I first want to acknowledge your courage in advocating for your right to healing and wellness.

Being human is not easy, and navigating this modern world can be a little scary at times. Throughout life’s challenges, it can be hard to remain self-compassionate, centred, and grounded.

You might feel isolated and wary of trusting yourself or the safety of others, or maybe you become confused at times by your reactions to the world around you, and begin to feel disconnected from your inner self, questioning who you are or what you stand for.

Through a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive perspective, I work closely with you to create a collaborative space rooted in social justice and genuine relationships. I compassionately invite you to safely and mindfully tap into your inner wisdom, live in accordance with your core values, and move closer to balance and harmony of mind, body, and spirit. I support you in reconnecting with and developing trust in your Self to guide your relationship with yourself, community, and environment.

As a Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families offering both in-person and virtual appointments. My background working in community mental health, homelessness prevention, crisis intervention, and substance abuse treatment has allowed me to work with individuals from all walks of life. I am a 2SLGBTQ+ affirming therapist and welcome clients of all genders, sexual identities, and cultural backgrounds.

I offer a relational, holistic, and integrative therapeutic approach to healing, drawing from Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self Compassion, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills. I incorporate art and play techniques into my work with children and youth. I welcome spirituality and integrate restorative yoga into practice to support the release of mind-body tension if it feels right for you. Together, we can find ways to come back to that grounded, centred, and compassionate self that you can begin to trust again and carry with you in daily life.

In addition, I am committed to my own personal, ongoing healing work which is vital to my ability to bring presence, empathy, and humility to the therapeutic space. I strive to live a mindful, meaningful life, and welcome you with an accepting heart.
