By re-authoring the stories we tell ourselves, our minds can be a safe space again.
As a psychologist, I believe in a collaborative and client centred approach to therapy. I believe that all clients possess inherent self-worth and our work together can help improve confidence and self-compassion.
My approach
My hope for my clients is to have them develop a safer space within their mind to exist without the intrusion of self-critical and shame-based beliefs.
I find great joy in using humor in my practice. I strongly believe in the power of open and effective communication, as well as creating a safe and supportive environment.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is your favourite therapy approaches to use with clients?
A: I enjoy practicing narrative therapy because I see the value in re-authoring our life stories. I enjoy emotion-focused therapy because I align with the idea that emotions are key to our identity as humans.
Q: Share an interesting fact about yourself
A: I write poetry, so I feel words are a powerful space for healing. I also enjoy hiking in the mountains and spending time with my dog.
Q: What can you expect from a session with me?
A: I personalize each session to suit the unique needs of my clients in the present moment. Sessions can look very different each time, as I strive to meet clients exactly where they are and respect their individual journey at a comfortable pace. I see therapy as a collaborative space and enjoy integrating various techniques that align with a client’s interests.
