In my eyes, the human experience is characterized by joys, success, and love just as much as it is by despair, failure, and loss. We exist within a world that tells us if our default feeling is not happiness, something is wrong, and we are left wondering why we cannot fit the mould like everyone around us seems to. I want to remind you that it is normal not to be happy, and despite its normality, we may still need someone with us to bear witness to our struggles, walk beside us in solidarity, and serve as a sounding board towards transforming our life into how we would like it to be. This is where finding the right therapist for you comes in.

 

I am a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist and work through an anti-oppressive lens to best support you in your journey towards greater wellness, self-awareness, and a life embodying your values. I believe that we come to internalize certain thoughts and feelings about ourselves based on what has happened to us and what we have learned throughout our hardships. To me, a therapeutic bond based on non-judgment, empathy, and recognition of the inherent, beautiful potential that exists within each one of us for growth and change is what brings somebody towards a place of healing and peace. It would be my honour to walk beside you throughout this deeply personal process of reflection regarding who you are and where you would like to be, and figuring out how to get there based on your therapeutic goals.

 

As a therapist, I am passionate about offering folks the support and skills they need to feel as though they are living in a way that feels meaningful and authentic to them. You may be looking for guidance and tools for developing effective coping skills, managing strong emotions, working through a difficult time in your personal relationships, or processing painful past experiences. Whatever it is that brings you in, I will work alongside you in a relationship built on compassion and collaboration that is tailored to your strengths, values, identities, and goals. Together, we can work towards creating meaningful and sustainable changes that feel right for you.

 

A good fit between a client and therapist is pivotal to a meaningful experience in therapy. If you think we would be a good fit, please reach out to me via email to book an initial 15 minute consultation to discuss further and potential next steps.
