Accepting new clients
Tuesday and Thursday - afternoon and evening
In person / Virtual / Hybrid

My general style is non-judgemental, highly attuned, and flexible to client’s needs. I remain grounded in empathy, curiosity, and openness with a belief in every client’s capacity for growth. My goal is always to meet the client where they are at, while providing a collaborative space for them to feel empowered and authentic to who they are.

I use an integrative approach that incorporates various modalities (Narrative, Solutions-Focused, CBT, Psychodynamic) grounded in a person-centered model.

I take on a non-expert stance that highlights the client’s experience, often I will let the client lead, leaving the floor open for exploration. I am open to learning and collaboration, as I will wholeheartedly accept any feedback to best support the client.

I have always been sensitive to others feelings, intuitive, and intrigued by other people’s stories. I love learning about why people do what they do, what informs our behaviour, and how people come to be. I have a passion for life-long learning and hope to use these skills to support clients through their own unique journeys.

I find that being able to provide the space for clients to openly share about what’s going on in their lives and support them through their own journeys is especially meaningful.

  • Narrative
  • Solutions-Focused
  • CBT
  • Psychodynamic

Outside of work, I am passionate about film and movies, I love how stories unfold through the medium. I also love pursuing creative endeavours whether it’s sewing, knitting, poetry, and writing.
