As a therapist, my primary goal is helping people reach a state of optimal functioning - however that may look for you. I provide client-centered, trauma-informed care to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, addiction-related concerns, and other life stressors.
For some people this work may involve learning specific skills or processing difficult experiences within the safety of therapy. For others, just having a safe place to talk and sort through things provides them with what they need. I strive to adapt my approach to meet your specific needs as we work together to improve your life and functioning.
I believe in my clients’ inherent goodness and strive to help them remove the blockages that might prevent them from seeing themselves for who they really are. By taking a warm, sensitive, and flexible approach, with a bit of humour as well, I aim to empower my clients and focus on their strengths and inborn resilience.
My work is influenced by psychodynamic and relational therapy, mindfulness, CBT, DBT skills, Somatic Intervention, strengths-based approaches, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I help clients explore their experiences, relationships, emotions, and different parts of themselves with compassion and curiosity.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing addiction-related concerns, supporting clients in understanding the underlying patterns and challenges that contribute to these struggles while developing healthier ways of coping and moving forward.
