About My Clients
I support adults who’ve been told they’re “too much” or “not enough,” those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or overwhelm, and people who feel lost or disconnected. I work with couples wanting to rebuild trust, those healing from toxic family systems, and individuals learning boundaries, communication, and emotional intelligence. I also support neurodivergent and military-connected clients, and caregivers who give endlessly to others.
My Background and Approach
I come to this work with a heart that knows how harsh the world can be, and with deep respect for the strength it takes to keep showing up. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade supporting people through crisis intervention, addiction recovery, grief counselling, and disability care in hospital and community settings. In those spaces, I learned something essential: people are not problems to be fixed, but human beings carrying stories, pain, and quiet resilience. My therapy style is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in self-worth and belonging. I draw from Existential, Person-Centred, Adlerian, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, while also weaving in CBT/DBT skills, somatic practices, and trauma-aware care. For couples, I integrate EFT with Gottman tools to strengthen connection. I believe therapy is human-to-human: a space to reclaim courage, heal disconnection, and create meaning in both self and relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every person holds an inherent worth that cannot be taken away, though life experiences, relationships, and systems often bury it under layers of shame, grief, or disconnection. Therapy, to me, is not about fixing people but about creating a safe space where they can rediscover their own courage, voice, and sense of belonging. I believe that relationships shape us — both in their beauty and in their harm — and that healing happens through connection. Setting boundaries, learning emotional intelligence, and facing difficult family systems or toxic dynamics can be painful, but they are also pathways back to self-respect and healthier bonds. I believe people are not problems to solve, but human beings carrying stories and resilience. My role is to walk alongside, not to lead or dictate. I hold to authenticity, compassion, and justice: meeting each person as they are and honouring the dignity of difference, culture, and identity.
