My goal as a Registered Clinical Counsellor is to provide a client centred space where you feel invited to share and explore your journey in a safe environment. I believe that creating a strong foundational relationship is vital to our success. Additionally, I encourage an environment that promotes you being truly “heard’, as it can be a new experience for many, and I believe, an essential part of healing and growth. I incorporate a variety of approaches in my work including trauma informed practices, logotherapy, narrative therapy, solutions based therapies and acceptance and commitment therapy. I work from a trauma informed approach, which includes a deep understanding of how traumas and post-traumatic stress can affect our everyday lives. My work is grounded in the belief that every individual has incredible value. I bring realistic strategies and resources that can assist you to move forward on your journey to stability, growth and wellness.
