Practice Information

I work with individuals of all ages, with a focus on individuals and couples who have a variety of life experiences, including trauma, loss, relationship and family struggles, marginalization, substance use, anxiety and other mental health concerns. Each individual coming to therapy is unique, attempts to do the best possible with the resources available, has wisdom, creativity and strength. Everyone has the right to self-determination. To me, counselling means providing a safe place for you to tell your story, in whatever way that looks for you.

Each individual coming to therapy is unique, attempts to do the best possible with the resources available, has wisdom, creativity and strength. Everyone has the right to self-determination. I think that doing counselling means providing a safe place for you to tell your story, in whatever way that looks for you.

I practice from a client-centered perspective using a combination of various forms of therapy: strength-based, response-based, solution-focused, eco-therapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, systemic, trauma-informed and feminist...

I have advanced training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Gottman Level 3 Relationship therapy, sex therapy, Critical Response for individuals and groups / organizations for post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) or occupational stress injury.

We will work together to find solutions and approaches that feel right for what you would like to work on.
