About This Provider

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Education with a minor in Special Education. My teaching experience has given me a strong foundation in supporting children, youth, and families, complemented by additional experience in crisis and mental health services. Clients often describe me as warm, authentic, and direct. I value creating a space where clients feel understood while also being willing to offer honest, thoughtful reflections. When appropriate, I gently challenge unhelpful patterns and beliefs to help clients develop greater insight, make decisions aligned with their values, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and person-centred. I draw from evidence-based approaches and tailor therapy to each client's needs, goals, and experiences. The approaches I most frequently integrate include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), for which I have completed training.
