Counselling Philosophy:

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it is, but it is one you do not have to take alone. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you work through life’s challenges.

I work with pre-teens, teens, adults, and older adults, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or

feeling disconnected from yourself, whatever you are carrying, I want you to know that it’s valid.

In our work together, I bring empathy, curiosity, and respect to every session. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, as you are the expert on your life. My role is to accompany you as we explore what keeps you stuck and find tools to foster innovation and growth. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing on a multidisciplinary and evidence-based practice through Cognitive Behavioural, Humanistic, Developmental, Mindfulness, and Constructivist approaches.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you’ve already started by being here. I would be honoured to support you if you are ready to move forward. Feel free to reach out for a consultation to see if we are the right fit.
