PLEASE NOTE FEE CHANGES FOR 2024
It takes a lot of courage to come to therapy and my desire is to honour that courage in each of my clients. I believe that we all have personal strengths and resiliency that can help us achieve change in our lives. At times we can become stuck and lose track of those resources. I believe the counselling relationship can be a safe and non-judgemental space for clients to rediscover those resources. Beyond your specific goals you bring to therapy, my hope is that you will also discover greater congruence, self-esteem, and the capacity to make healthier choices.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I have come to understand the many barriers’ people face in seeking help with their mental health. Whether it be difficult life circumstances or coping with persistent negative emotions, it may feel overwhelming knowing where and how to start. Sometimes we may even want to withdraw or find other ways to cope that bring us temporary relief, but contribute to the issues at hand. It is my goal to provide a safe, non-judgemental counselling atmosphere to help you identify, understand and work through any challenges you may face. Together, we will establish treatment goals and work to heal old or current wounds. I believe each person has a unique set of needs, so I tailor my work to your individual preferences. I can help you to dissect personal issues, develop coping skills, and enhance a sense of inner strength.
I draw on aspects from different modalities including; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and a trauma focused, person-centered approach.
