Sometimes we behave or engage in ways that we don’t understand or necessarily want to, and that can take us off course. In therapy, we can come to understand what drives our behaviour and then we can make better choices to support our desired outcome.

My approach to therapy is Relational, Client-Centred, and Humanistic: I seek to provide a safe, supportive, warm, and calming environment for exploration and discovery to happen. It is important to me to build and establish rapport and trust with my clients. Therefore, I operate from a non-judgemental, anti-oppressive practice that focuses on understanding my clients and their experiences through active listening and attuning to their emotions. I do this through empathy, support, careful observation, and reflection of both verbal and non-verbal communication. This helps me to be aligned with my clients’ experiences and emotions.

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Windsor. I have over 15 years of experience in working with varied populations in helping them to explore, discover and support their personal growth and development. My approach is eclectic utilizing techniques from ACT, DBT, CBT, IFS, Mindfulness, and EMDR.
