I believe…
I believe the human experience can be complex and confusing, and sometimes you need a safe environment to process and make sense of it all. To me, this is what therapy is for; an opportunity to connect with a knowledgeable, curious, and empathetic professional. Someone who can offer guidance and comfort while allowing you to take the lead and make decisions about what you want and need.
Wellness can be influenced by many things, including biology, shifts in biology due to trauma, the connection and belonging that you feel in the world, and the lens through which you view the world. All these things shape your automatic thoughts and assumptions, your emotional responses and reactions, and the actions that you indulge in. As your therapist, I will consider all these things, to help you process, organize, and move forward in your experience.
Finally, humans can change. This is something that I know, I’ve studied, and that I’ve witnessed in my work. I believe in you, and I believe in our teamwork.
My approach…
I view therapy through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) lens. As your therapist, I am here to support and guide you in whatever healing or growth you feel is necessary. I will aim to create a safe, respectful, and caring collaborative relationship, fueled by integrity and authenticity.
Sometimes people need to process the origin of their pain and their belief systems, and other times people prefer to move forward with strategies. I believe that both things can be helpful, and I am here to meet you where you’re at. My goal is to help you play an active role in your healing journey and build a value-filled life.
My background…
I have had the privilege of supporting many individuals in their healing journey. From working as a youth worker supporting adolescents living within the system to working as a therapeutic assistant. I have learned so much about the importance of simply being with people as they work through their challenging times. And, I have also learned about the importance of offering strategies to help people identify what they want and how to get there.
I am currently a graduate student, entering the last year of my master’s degree in counselling psychology. Before this, I took an undergraduate specializing in psychology, where I studied various ideas and avenues of psychology, which ultimately brought me here. I pride myself on continuing my education so that I can offer the best services possible to my clients.
