My Approach

Above all, I value the importance of a genuine, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we are able to come together to set goals and create movement towards the next step in your journey. I believe in creating a welcoming and compassionate connection which promotes growth and allows you to develop insight into areas for change. I would love to work with you to learn new coping skills, develop more adaptive thinking patterns, and build confidence in your ability to navigate difficulties.

Informed by queer-theory and critical approaches, I work from a holistic approach to therapy which takes into consideration the various aspects and contexts which have led you to where you are today. I understand that many different factors in our lives can influence our mental health and I believe in working together to identify and address these. I draw from various theories and frameworks based on your individual needs and goals. These primarily include Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).

It is also very important to me to have a practice which is as inclusive as possible. I strive to consistently improve on providing a space which is increasingly anti-racist, nonheteronormative, anti-colonial, and accepting of diverse experiences and values.
