Having worked with children, adolescents, individuals with intellectual developmental issues and adults struggling with various emotions, self-esteem and communication issues, I’d like to support you on your journey.
It is possible for everyone to find a balance in their life. In our work together, we will identify the emotions, thoughts and behaviours that occur in stressful situations. By identifying needs and wants, it provides clarity for yourself and also the dynamics of relationships you have with others. It will help determine the path that best suits your life.
I have been working with diverse populations for a very long time. I I truly love my profession and feel my life experience has given me an open and non judgemental perspective. I am trained in several therapeutic approaches for both individual and couple therapy. While I am certainly an empathetic listener, I also believe in active engagement, solutions orientation and real partnership with my clients. Choosing a therapist and taking that first step might seem
overwhelming , but I promise that first step is so worth it.
Working primarily (not exclusively) with First Responders and Military Veterans, I am most effective when helping helpers who are uncomfortable with looking at their own emotions, sensations, feelings and behaviours. Therapy with me focuses on creating a place to feel safe, build trust (even when it feels impossible to trust others) and find safety in relinquishing total control. I focus on understanding the roots of trauma, processing stuck thoughts, sensations and feelings, and building the skills needed to move forward with more comfort and confidence in managing emotions and symptoms
(Please note for speed of reply, emails are sent to our admin team) I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships. I have over ten years experience and engage in continuous learning to ensure I am able to provide people with the best possible therapy.
