I have been training and working for over 14 years in a variety of clinical settings working with individuals across the age span.
I strive to understand my client's worldview and the meanings they place on their experiences. I do this through flexibility and cultural sensitivity as well as genuine concern and empathy. I recognize and value the importance of the relationship created between client and therapist. I focus on creating a safe space for clients and collaborating on a treatment plan.

I strive to be flexible, imaginative and culturally sensitive in my practice. I have a particular interest in emotion regulation, life balance, and self-compassion. I work with individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, religions, spiritual beliefs, and sexual orientations who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, health and wellness, career planning, and, life and work stress.
At different times in our lives, we may need to seek additional support to help us maneuver through difficult life transitions and/or to cope with challenging experiences, emotions and patterns. Choosing to participate in counselling can help people to develop new skills, gain insight and self-awareness and participate in life in more meaningful and satisfying ways.
My therapeutic work is grounded in humanistic and constructivist theories which means I believe the relationship between the client and the therapist is essential for fostering change and growth; therefore, I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment for my clients.
As well, I focus on understanding my client's worldview and pay particular attention to the client process of meaning making and how a client's lived experience shapes their thoughts, beliefs and feelings.Overall, I integrate interventions from a range of therapeutic frameworks. I am influenced by, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based, Solution-Focused and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches to treatment.
