As a Registered Psychotherapist who strongly values authenticity and genuineness, it is my priority to create a safe, non-judgemental, trusting space where life’s challenges, hopes and goals can all be discussed. As well as a place where you can explore your own values, beliefs and commitments in ways that align with the life that you want for yourself.
In the six years that I have been practicing psychotherapy, I have had the honour and privilege of working alongside individuals as they worked towards achieving their individual goals, leading to desired changes.
Through this work, I have also had the opportunity to evaluate my values and beliefs and how they reflect congruently in the work that I do. These values have informed the client-centred approach that I facilitate with individuals. I am a firm believer that clients are the experts of their own lives, holding the answers to the questions that they often have. Because of this, I truly believe that both the individual and therapist have a wealth of knowledge and information that is truly beneficial, reinforcing the collaborative approach.
When it comes to the knowledge and information that I will bring to the sessions, this includes utilizing an integrative approach drawn from several different modalities in hopes of creating an individualized plan for each person. These modalities include Brief Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
More recently I have had the privilege of welcoming my own son into this world which has led to an increased awareness of the triumphs and struggles that arise from being a new parent. I have since become aware of the importance of having a support network when it comes navigating the new journey of becoming a parent. It is my hopes to be able to provide a safe space to discuss the struggles that come with becoming a new parent as well as provide you with the hope of becoming the parent that you have always wanted to be.
