*Currently taking new clients!* Authenticity, compassion and results. You can expect all 3 of these from therapy with me. Whether I'm working 1 on 1 with someone or with couples, it's a priority for me to ensure you feel emotionally safe (i.e., not judged) in our sessions. I’m very genuine, knowledgeable, and committed to helping you learn, grow, and to create the changes you want.
Unlike a lot of therapists, I often assign ‘homework’ to my clients to help them practice new skills and learn more about themselves. I value letting my clients be who they are, so laughter or swearing are totally allowed.
I’ve been able to overcome some mental health and personal challenges in my own life. I know what it can feel like to struggle and not know what to do to make things better. I’d be honoured to help you achieve relief and better quality of life by drawing on my training and experience. I work with individuals age 17 and older, and I also provide couples counselling.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
- Eclectic
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Approach Description: Your needs and feelings are my priority. You will always be in control of what to focus on in each session and in setting the pace of change for yourself. I view myself as a knowledgeable fellow human and companion on your journey to greater overall wellness and enjoyment of life. In our first few sessions I’ll gather information about your current needs and concerns, and any relevant history. This helps me come up with some treatment plan ideas that I’ll run by you. You’ll be in control of the pace of therapy; what’s comfortable for you is very important to me. That could be meeting once a week, biweekly, less often, or a changing combination of those.
* A unique and optional service I offer are 1/2 hour Brief Support Sessions on Sundays between 4:30pm and 8pm. I created these as an option for clients who may want some support or guidance for situations that come up between our regular sessions.

In every counselling session with me, I follow your lead with what to to talk about or focus on. Together, you and I are partners in creating a plan to help you achieve your goals and understand yourself better. I'm very non-judgmental and believe in your right to choose what is best for you. Rather than telling you what I think you should do, I view my role as providing you with the skills and knowledge you need to make decisions in your best interests and to achieve your goals.
