Great to meet you!

For over 20 years I have been employed in various sectors working with families to understand their loved ones or their own mental health issues. Navigating their life and hearing their own personal stories is an honor. I also engage in continued education to so that my therapeutic skills remain current and contemporary.

My approach to therapy

Making the decision to enter therapy is normally a fragile and sensitive manner. I am a therapist which enters this relationship first and foremost to build an atmosphere of trust and care. My approach is to be actively curious and respectful in session and intertwine theory, psychoeducation and compassion in my profession.

What you can expect from me

During our first session I will be assessing strengths, be curious about what brings you to session, and create a personalized treatment plan.
