MY APPROACH 

I use a holistic lens to address client concerns, recognizing that every individual exists at a unique intersection of contexts and identities (such as cultural, historical, familial, racial, sexual, gender, ability, economic, etc.) that shape our experiences and how we perceive the world. ​Acknowledging this diversity, I see each client as the expert in their own life and healing. I believe that each of us has a natural capacity for healing, and I work with my clients to enhance their self-understanding and compassion, uncover their personal strengths and sources of healing, and achieve their own goals for health and wellbeing.​I take a trauma-informed, integrative, and relational approach to therapy, viewing challenges through the lenses of attachment and systems theory. My style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgemental, and I collaborate with clients to build a relationship based on mutual trust. I am attentive to the specific needs and preferences of each individual, integrating therapeutic techniques from various evidence-based modalities, including emotion-focused, somatic, mindful self-compassion, and cognitive behavioural therapies. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Midwifery from the University of British Columbia.
