Great to meet you!

As a licensed mental health and addiction professional I work within humanistic and person-centered perspectives; valuing and respecting the voices and experiences of my clients are paramount to healing and effective treatment. I support evidence-based approaches that match the therapeutic needs of my clients and assist them in creating safe space for self-reflection, insight and introspection. In summary each person has their life narrative that requires self-examination to foster or enhance growth and development. Let's explore you needs and concerns together in a safe and welcoming space.

My approach to therapy

As a person-centered therapist, I believe that clients direct their therapy. I facilitate or guide this process by helping them to create a safe and nurturing environment where they can explore the totality of their experiences (both positive, challenges, and obstacles), and assist in creating innovative and novel interventions and strategies to enhance their quality of life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a warm, welcoming and authentic conversation from our very first session. I'll ask about what brought you here and listen without judgment, so you can decide for yourself whether I'm someone you want to work with. Every session after that centers on respect and dignity for your story, at your pace. There's no pressure to have the right words, just space to be honest.
