About Me
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who firmly believes that everyone deserves to be heard. My own journey through mental health challenges and the profound gratitude I hold for my positive therapy experiences have led me to this belief and the resulting work. I see every individual as the expert in their own life. I see my role as one of bringing curiosity and helping you recognize the strengths and resources you already carry to navigate any set of hardships you might be going through. Our work together is a collaborative space for healing, and I take a non-directive approach to therapy, using humour as a therapeutic tool where appropriate.
