I am an individual and couple therapist with a practice in which I work with adults and older youth. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and have a Master’s degree in counselling from St.Paul University in Ottawa. My professional time is shared between my private practice and a local family service agency. It is my understanding and experience that a connected client/therapist relationship can help support and deepen the kind of exploration that brings change. Working collaboratively, I believe, is central to the creation of the comfort and safety required for this. So, as an ally, I collaborate with my clients and respect each individual’s own goals and intentions, choices, timing, and coping styles.

I am deeply committed to honouring the diversity and plurality of our human experience. I welcome and work with people from all walks of life [i.e. different cultures and family heritages, lifestyles, sexualities, sexual identities, gender identities, religions, health challenges, and socioeconomic status]. *THERAPEUTIC APPROACH *TRAUMA WORK *RELATIONSHIP THERAPY more...
