I draw from numerous therapeutic approaches to provide clients with the most appropriate evidence-based treatment for their individual needs. I firmly believe in the potential and adaptability of all human beings to learn and cultivate new skills, behaviours, and ways of thinking to build a more enriched, values-driven experience of life.

 

It is critical for me to help clients feel safe, comfortable, and supported in sharing their concerns, their stories, and their personal goals. I am committed to creating a therapeutic space for clients to feel truly heard, gain greater self-awareness, and move toward healing and growth.
