About:
Many of us will have times in our lives where we are overwhelmed by our experiences and feel stuck. We may have difficulty understanding ourselves (and others), putting our experiences in perspective, and finding our way forward. During times like this it is valuable to have someone to talk to about those experiences, a safe place to sort through the many thoughts and emotions, a place where we feel accepted and understood, and can clarify for ourselves the way forward.
In my counselling practice, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches that are highly person-centered and focused on the client’s strengths. My training and practice are trauma-informed, and incorporate various systems perspectives such as Satir Transformational Therapy, as well as level one of both Gottman and Emotionally-Focused therapies. I also utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy techniques from time to time.
My hope is that as we meet together, you will experience a supportive, non-judgmental environment that helps facilitate your movement forward in growth and in reaching your goals.

About:
Therapy is a support, and we all have other various supports in our lives. At times we face challenges where we want help, whether it’s rock climbing, building a home, raising children, or thinking about life changing decisions. We’ve perhaps watched someone build a house by themselves on YouTube, but even when they do it by themselves, they use all kinds of buttresses and structures to support things while they get the home to the point where it holds itself together without those supports. Therapists work themselves out of a job because we want to see people grow and succeed, gaining the tools and confidence to thrive in the challenges of life.
In therapy, I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Like any therapist, we’re always integrating new information and technique.
You’ll find me supportive, creative, calming, client-led, non-directive, and most of all -safe, so you feel comfortable seeking answers and finding solutions to things not regularly spoken about.
