Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Primary Location: Barrhaven
Change is hard, but necessary. We often develop ways to deal with life's hardships, trials, and tribulations and while those may have been helpful at the time, we sometimes outgrow these strategies. I use trauma-informed and attachment-based interventions to help guide my clients through the process of change.
Throughout our lives, we have experiences that inform our understandings of the world. These understandings lay the stage for the coping strategies that we create and utilize. In therapy, we spend time examining how these beliefs and strategies influence your life; for better or worse. We then explore new ways of relating to the world around us and ways of coping- like adding tools to a toolbox. By creating a strong therapeutic relationship, it is my goal to provide a safe environment that makes navigating this change a little less difficult. I aspire to create an environment where my clients feel safe, seen, and understood.
Finding the right therapist to support you is the foundation of effective therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship takes time to develop, and I strive to walk alongside my clients at all stages of their journey. I encourage you to reach out so we can set up a phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
