My Approach to Helping

I know you're not like anybody else—so I'll provide bespoke therapy designed specifically for you.

I'm a trained, experienced professional, but I also know this: You're the expert on you. So I'll be endlessly curious—listening, asking questions, pushing back sometimes, searching for patterns, learning everything I can about what you’re going through and what you want to change. Being understood makes it so much easier to find self-acceptance and clarity.

More Info About My Practice

Available data tells us people don't spend much time reading therapists' profiles when they're looking for someone to talk to. But, in case you're an outlier who wants the details, here's some information about what I do.

I have expertise in helping people with these concerns:
—anxiety, worries, and managing stress
—celebrating 2SLGBTQ+ identities
—suicide prevention
—trauma response and recovery
—life changes
—setting boundaries
—relationship breakdown
—infidelity
—grief and loss

I've been working with kids of all ages for ages. Here are some of the child and youth issues where I've had success:
—childhood anxiety
—friendship skills
—self-esteem
—child cognitive development
—school refusal
—adolescent emotional needs
—challenging behaviours
—self-harm
—parenting problems
—school situations
—family conflict
—worries
—making friends
—coping with separation or divorce
—questioning gender identities, roles, and orientations

My work is informed by a few different models, including these:
—Carl Rogers' client-centered therapy
—Gordon Neufeld's attachment-based, developmental approach
—Gabor Maté's work on trauma
—positive psychology
—cognitive behaviour therapy
—trauma-informed work
—narrative therapy
—culturally responsive counselling
