I work with clients aged 7+ with presenting concerns related to anxiety, career, spiritual, and life challenges, depression, family and relationship issues, identity issues, self-esteem issues, sexuality and gender related issues, and substance misuse / use. I specifically enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and members of the LGBTQQ2S+ community. I draw primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) while integrating aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Feminist Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. What does this all mean?

In session, you can plan on sharing your experiences while being asked to explore your behaviours, emotions, feelings, and thoughts about these personal accounts. We will work together to identify what you believe about yourself, your relationships, and the world. Utilizing a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to counselling we will focus on the exceptions to the problems so you can begin to rewrite your life narrative(s). Developing skills related to self awareness and understanding will contribute to an improved quality of life.

I completed an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Lakehead University and am completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and am currently a student member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
