I provide therapy for adults, teens, and children experiencing a wide range of life's challenges. Some areas I specialize in include anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, life transitions, and ADHD. My approach is client-centred, recognizing you as the expert in your life while I offer guidance and concrete solutions to help you gain clarity, coping skills, and a better understanding of yourself. Our work together takes place in a nurturing, non-judgemental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. We draw on your current strengths and skills and look for ways to empower you to take the next step toward healing and peace. I often use metaphors and humour to build a genuine, trusting therapeutic relationship. Every person is unique and I draw on evidence-based approaches tailored to address your specific challenges. I believe in the transformative power of storytelling and emotional articulation, and I am committed to supporting you in your journey through a collaborative and personalized approach.
