About My Clients

My clients can expect to be treated with respect and compassion in a safe, non-judgmental space — whether we meet in person or through telehealth. I bring warmth and empathy to my sessions, but I also believe that healing doesn’t always have to be heavy. When the moment is right, I use humor to help lighten the process. If you’re open to healing with some laughter along the way, we may be a great fit!

My Background and Approach

I have experience working with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including mood and personality disorders, substance use and addiction, trauma, anxiety, social anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples in their healing journey by providing a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment. I especially value working with Indigenous communities and individuals with significant criminal justice involvement. My approach is rooted in cultural sensitivity, empathy, and the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strive to empower clients to better understand themselves, develop healthy coping strategies, and create meaningful and fulfilling lives. Throughout my career, I have drawn from many therapeutic modalities to help people recognize that they are not alone in their journey and that there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow. I believe healing begins by exploring one’s history and uncovering patterns that may be shaping present challenges. By bringing these patterns into awareness, clients can gain greater control over their emotions and begin to feel renewed excitement about what life has to offer.
