Currently not accepting new clients.
Personal Statement:
I am so glad that you are here. I aim to provide a warm and validating environment where you can explore your concerns with safety, curiosity, support, and if appropriate, humour. Therapy is a collaborative process- with you arriving as the content expert of your life, and myself offering some tools and co-regulation as we create new meaning. I draw from an eclectic range of therapeutic modalities and lead with anti-oppressive and trauma-informed approach.
When I’m not at the Glebe, you can find me baking, hiking, and searching for the best oat milk latte in the tri-cities.
Certifications, Memberships, Accreditations:

Areas of Special Interest:
My background is working with post-secondary students and young adults as they experience the excitement and challenges of “what comes next.” I have experience supporting folks through their first mental health diagnoses, self-harm and self-injury, reflecting on tough memories, and questions about meaning-making in the midst of pain or chaos.
