I help my clients release deep stress, build their resources and strengths, regulate their nervous systems, build their tolerance to processing difficult thoughts and feelings. Typically, our goal is to find a way to live the life you want, and to feel the way you want to feel.

 

My therapy style is not always typical, traditional talk therapy.

 

The direction of therapy specifically gears toward what will help you see changes and experience an impact. Often, our therapy conversations will be about practical skill building, or conducting experience processing sessions. My style is quite active; often we practice techniques or psychotherapeutic tools in-session.

 

As much as I hold the therapy space with a great deal of honour and sensitivity, I do have a light-hearted and somewhat casual approach to my communication style.

​

My formal training comes from studying Counselling Psychology at the University of Ottawa. From 2012 to 2018, I worked at Carleton University’s disability services, counselling services and career services helping people cope with change, medical issues and disability-related challenges.

​

I like people to know that in my therapy room, they are never required to talk about anything they don’t want to.

 

I’ve heard people say that they avoid therapy because they don’t want to have to talk about a particular issue or experience. At our practice, the client is in the driver’s seat in this regard. The type of therapy I do - such as Brainspotting - does not require the client to tell their story or hash out the details of a difficult experience if they don’t want to.

​

I welcome people into the therapy space, whether virtual or online and offer a non-judgemental space to grow, heal and feel better. We'll work together on your goals, in the way that is best for you, with the intention of seeing the change you’d like to see.
