I believe strength can be found in everyone. Sometimes it just takes a nurturing hand, an understanding ear and an open heart to create the opportunity for individuals to find themselves. I value the therapeutic relationship and the importance of creating a safe space where clients can explore and challenge themselves.
I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor through the Canadian Counselling Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and hold a CCC license. I completed my Masters of Counselling at the University of Lethbridge in 2017.
In the space of counselling, therapists can exhibit the traits and behaviours that our clients are missing in their daily lives. It is through these genuine connections, and feelings of care and compassion that individuals can begin to feel worthy and cared for. That they’re capable of achieving their goals and improving their sense of well-being.
The following list below are my areas of specialization:
- Assertiveness/boundaries
- Support for queer and trans folks, children, youth and couples
- Depression, anxiety & panic disorders
- Past or recent trauma or abuse
- Relationship and couples counselling
- Eating disorders
- Grief support
- Life transitions
I also utilize approaches such as CBT, SFT, mindfulness, experiential, art, and play therapy techniques.
