Description

I work from trauma informed and anti-oppressive framework, using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to support individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns. 

My goal is to empower individuals to heal from past wounds, grow into the person they would like to become, and thrive in their lives and relationships. 

My goal is to co-create a space where you can come as you are and explore your story with compassion and curiosity.
