My basic belief is hopeful and positive: that ultimately people are “good” and are striving for wellness with the internal and external resources they have.  I am committed to helping you unpack and leave behind stories and ways of coping that no longer serve your needs, while building resilience and moving towards new ways of relating to self and others, stepping authentically into life and relationships.

As a queer-identified woman, I am particularly interested but not exclusively focused on supporting clients within the LGBTQ2S+ community.  I intentionally support overall mental wellness for all men, women and adolescents as we work to resolve, understand and reflect on barriers that exist in attaining psychological well-being.

I work with individuals looking to overcome obstacles, navigate difficulties, and foster self-growth. I help couples discover new patterns of being together while restoring intimacy, passion, and commitment. With families, my hope is to strengthen relationship bonds and better understand differences.

I utilize a systemic, trauma-informed approach to therapy with individuals, couples, and families. I work with a variety of concerns and challenges from multiple therapeutic models, including dialogic therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and integrative therapy. Selecting the right therapist is important and I would be happy to meet with you for a free 20-minute consultation so you can see if I am a fit for you.

I focus on anxiety, issues impacting men, depression, addiction, life changes, relationship issues and grief and bereavement counselling. I am also part of a consultation group on gender, identity and sexuality. I believe we all have many stories to tell. Each story being unique, meaningful and worth telling. Through this process of telling these story-telling, we begin to heal wounds and find ourselves again. The many stories of my life led me through loss, grief, stress and pain but also joy, connection, meaning and love. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for people to discuss their emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and engage in a plan to create a rich and meaningful life.

I have helped people ask, and answer, the ‘Why?’ question for close to two decades now. During this time, I’ve come to the conclusion that people who seek out therapy are some of the bravest people in the world. I honour the courage that it takes to look inward and admit that you are in need, and I cherish the role that I have in supporting men through these times. I take a blended Narrative / Person-Centred approach to therapy. What this means is I believe that you are the expert of you, and I’m an expert in asking really good questions. Together, we can work to stabilize your thinking, understand your motivations, and increase your awareness. In short, my goal is for you to understand yourself better than you ever have before.

In my experience, and according to research, the biggest factor in how well therapy works is the client-therapist relationship. That’s one reason you can expect me to be genuine, empathetic, positive, and affirming. Also, I don’t have a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. Instead, I will work with you to custom-fit a therapy experience based on your unique needs and expressed concerns.
