My therapeutic approach
Life is messy, and has the habit of throwing some major curveballs our way. I believe that we are each the expert in our own lives and hold the capacity to overcome these challenges.
I enter into each unique therapeutic relationship with compassion, understanding, and openness while ensuring a safe space free of judgement that fosters mutual respect and unconditional positive regard.
When beginning a therapeutic relationship with me, you can look forward to being provided with an integrative therapeutic approach that is trauma-informed, honest, emotionally-focused, person-centered, and collaborative … meeting you wherever you are on your therapeutic/healing/life journey. Together, we will explore your past experiences, relationships, patterns, and behaviours while building a strong and trusting relationship – all of which are central to a positive and beneficial therapeutic experience.
Therapeutic approaches are not a one-size-fits-all, and I will work with you to develop a unique approach that best suits your individual needs by incorporating a variety of therapeutic orientations - while tapping into your strengths and abilities.

Childhood is a magical time that can also feel big and scary to new & developing minds.
I strive to help kiddos (ages 5-13 make sense of their world in a safe, fun, and explorative space. Together, we build a strong foundation of emotional regulation, social problem solving, and sense of self confidence, while working through confusing feelings, scary thoughts, and any challenging behaviours.
Using a creative blend of talk, play, sandtray, and art therapies, these sessions are for kiddos under the age of 13 and are part of a broader family approach.
As an approved provider with the Ministry of Children & Family Development, our sessions may be subsidized if your family has MCFD support
