I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over 8 years of experience working in child welfare and healthcare settings. My passion lies in working with children and families, immigrants, and individuals facing mental and physical health challenges. I draw from various therapeutic models, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life’s circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.

My counselling services are collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed while rooted in a holistic approach (body/mind/spirit). I draw from various theoretical lenses, including Existential, Adlerian, Internal Family Systems, Jungian, DBT, and CBT.

I strive to create a safe and supportive space that is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration where my clients will be heard, empowered, and understood. I hope to join you in your journey and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and how I may be able to support you.

One of the most noble pursuits and individual can have is to strive to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.  This can be an extremely difficult task, both in terms of determining what this personally means and then figuring out how to get there.  When we feel stuck and overwhelmed, other negative and self-limiting states also take shape including anxiety and depression, leaving us full of bad habits and desperate for change.  In the therapeutic work with Andrew, the aim is to uncover the root causes that inhibit fulfillment and to further apply practical strategies that will permit change and foster personal growth.
