Great to meet you!

Fear tactics from therapists were proven ineffective decades ago. As your therapist, I provide a safe and inclusive space for growth, transformation and change, because it is your time, not mine.

I foster a collaborative approach which affirms your capacity for self-love and self-compassion, while also utilizing therapeutic tools which help you outside of just emotional and psychological concerns. My intention is for my clients to build upon their own perceived strengths and abilities, or assist in discovery of new ones.

I am a vegetarian of 15 years, I have two cats that I adore and I love a chai latte with oat milk. The majority of my professional experience comes from substance-use treatment, hospitals and outpatient agency work.

My approach to therapy

I am a firm believer in the fact that what is not meant for you, the client, will eliminate itself organically. Anything in-between, or that you are stuck on is where I come in to assist.

"Indeed, he is completely modern only when he has come to the very edge of the world, leaving behind him all that has been discarded and outgrown, and acknowledging that he stands before a void out of which all things may grow."

⸺Carl Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul (p. 197, Ch. 10: The Spiritual Problem of Modern Man)
