You are looking for new tools and healing processes that have the power to be life changing for you. I am here to make that happen. Whether you're struggling as a new parent, dealing with the ups and downs of relationship issues with loved ones or your partner, or are working through difficult emotions like depression or anxiety, sessions with me will help you move through these challenges to bring clarity, solutions, and actual healing. Through our work together, you will experience a safe and non-judgmental space for individualized care, while your unique story is honoured. I bring 10 years of experience working in the mental health and and human services field and I love what I do!
I work with people of all backgrounds, including Indigenous people, where I consciously practice cultural humility, anti-oppressive and strengths-based frameworks. I am currently training in a brain-based, neuroscience method called Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) so that I can provide clients with a faster way for reaching therapy goals. My approach to counselling has been grounded in proven methods to get you real results! Specializing in virtual counselling, I offer skilled intervention using CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Crisis Intervention, and Play Therapy. I hold a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, and a Professional Certificate in Infant Mental Health and have years of experience providing one-on-one counselling support to both adults and teens.
Reach out for a free 20min consultation, to see if we are a good fit! I so look forward to connecting.
