Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Intern

BA. MACP (Candidate)

Different life stages provide different sets of challenges, which can be frustrating to navigate at any age. My personal and professional experiences have shown me that humans are resilient by nature, however, we just need a little extra help sometimes. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with daily stressors, or suffering from grief and loss, I want you to remember that you are not alone.

My primary area of focus includes helping adolescents (10+), young adults, and families maneuver grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, and other stressors that may interfere with daily functioning. My approach to counselling is holistic in nature, as I pull from various theories such as narrative, emotion-focused, mindfulness-based, and solution-focused brief therapy. This ensures that each session is tailored to the specific needs of my clients rather than focusing on specific modalities.

A common misconception is that therapy provides cookie-cutter solutions to all of life’s problems; however, it is quite the opposite. Therapy is a tool that helps individuals understand and come to terms with emotional and behavioural patterns that can be positive or negative in nature. There is no universal blueprint for therapy, which is why I value and promote vulnerability, strength, and individuality as a counsellor.

While it can be overwhelming and scary to begin this chapter, I am dedicated to creating a safe and non-judgmental environment in which you can explore any topics of concern or issues without compromising your values and beliefs. My role is to support and empower you throughout this journey.
