In life, there are times we find ourselves facing challenges that can be difficult to navigate alone. Gaining insights and perspective from a non-judgmental and supportive source can provide the opportunity to expand views and possibilities outside of the current experience one finds themselves in.  

My philosophy is anchored in a solution-focused, client-centred, and strategic therapy working model of therapy, focusing on one’s resources and skill development that support healing and movement forward. I believe fostering a trusting, collaborative, and respectful relationship is the cornerstone of therapeutic success. My approach to therapy is a collaborative engagement with my clients. I do not have a one size fits all approach and work with my clients to co-create the best therapeutic experience based on presenting concerns and symptoms, tailoring the treatment to each individual’s unique needs. I work with my clients to understand their goals and what they want to accomplish to enhance their lived experience, opening possibilities to create a future that aligns with what is important to them.  

I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including: 

• Solution Focused Therapy 
• Brief Therapies 
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 
• Strategic Psychotherapy 
• Clinical Hypnosis 
• Mindfulness
