Registered Social Worker

verified by TherapyRoute

Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood, judged, or “too much” in the past. My role is to offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying. I work with adolescents and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, mood and personality disorders, addiction, anger, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. I also have a strong interest in supporting individuals exploring identity, 2SLGBTQ+ experiences, transgender concerns, and consensual non-monogamous relationships.

About Me

I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work, allowing me to approach these topics with care, nuance, and respect. With over a decade of experience in mental health and case management settings, my approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), while integrating person-centred, psychodynamic, motivational, and strengths-based perspectives. I pay close attention to how your history, relationships, identity, and environment shape your current struggles. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and compassionate. Together, we’ll work to reduce distress, build insight, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with your values.

Approach

I am experienced in the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Internal Family Systems (IFS) Motivational Interviewing Person-Centred Psychodynamic Strengths-Based Approaches
