Individuals $150/session. Couples $170/session.

I create a space where you can think, feel, and speak authentically. I believe our past plays an integral role in how we show up today, and that noticing our patterns and understanding where we come from can help us be more present, comfortable, and kind with ourselves. I’ll listen to you without judgement and support you in pursuing what matters to you.

Research shows that our working relationship is one of the most important parts of therapy, so I focus on creating a space where you feel comfortable and heard. I love to incorporate humour (when appropriate) and check in for feedback to make sure our sessions are on the right track. I understand how social and cultural identities can affect lived experience. I’m not afraid to name when trauma, colonization, and systemic issues may be at the root of our struggles. I work with an intersectional, anti-oppressive lens and I’m passionate about working with fellow individuals from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community (allies welcome too!).

When working with couples, I base my interventions from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Rather than focusing on a solution to a specific problem, we’ll focus on the patterns and processes that keep you feeling stuck, disconnected, or misunderstood. I’ll guide you in identifying your cycle, and we’ll work to bridge the gaps in understanding each other. This way, each person in the relationship can feel that their viewpoint is held with importance and that their needs matter. My job is to help you strengthen your connection so you can stay on the same team through whatever life throws at you.

In individual therapy, I start with getting to know you and your history, so I have context to understand what’s brought you here. Once we’ve identified your goals, I incorporate skills from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) to help you drop the struggle with challenging thoughts and feelings and tap into the wisdom we hold within us to pursue your ideal self. I present skills and concepts as they relate to what you bring to session – so things aren’t forced onto you like a one-size-fits-all approach. We might: explore how your history impacts the way you relate to your thoughts, feelings, and people around you; talk about what a fulfilling life would look like for you, and; process whatever is coming up for you that feels challenging to navigate alone.

Looking for a therapist is a great step in taking care of yourself. If you think we could be a good fit, I would love to hear from you! I offer a 10-15 minute consultation to get an idea of what it could be like to work together before committing to a session.
