More about me:

I am passionate about my work and have been working in the mental health and social service field for over 10 years (i.e., hospital, university, and community settings). I strive to maintain up-to-date knowledge of the best psychotherapy practices and enjoy continued professional and personal development opportunities. My approach to psychotherapy is a personalized integration of therapy approaches tailored to meet your unique needs, with a touch of my quirky humanness.

 

I understand client challenges through an attachment and somatic lens, meaning that I prioritize understanding the impact of your experiences, as a way to help you through them. I aim to create a safe relational space for you to navigate your challenges and truly believe that each one of us has an innate understanding of what we need to grow and heal from our experiences, if we experience a felt sense of safety. I will help you explore how your past experiences may be affecting your current life, with the goal of moving beyond your painful and unsatisfactory experiences. As a result of psychotherapy, clients report increased self-understanding, self-sufficiency, and improved relationships. Through a strengthened relationship with themselves and others, people feel safe enough to make meaningful life changes.
