As a Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist and Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist, I have experience helping persons from many varied demographics, identities, and backgrounds, and am an inclusive therapist. I have supported individuals, couples and families with a wide range of presenting problems, including but not limited to trauma, narcissistic abuse, perinatal mental health, depression, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, most forms of anxiety, and OCD.
My past experience working in a Family and Child Services setting, gave me the privilege of working with a varied clientele. I am an active participant in my community and have volunteered as a Suicide First Responder and a pro-bono trauma therapist for refugees affected by war and bereavement.
As an integrative therapist, I believe in the uniqueness of every client and their varying needs. Therefore, I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach, and often create a personalized treatment plan which pulls relevant elements of multiple evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Narrative Exposure, Gottman theory, and Family Systems Therapy. All of my therapy is client-centered and is warm and conversational as well as focused on safety and rapport, rather than cold and clinical.
