I offer a down-to-earth therapy experience that goes at your pace, whether you want to rapidly process a distressing experience or ease in slowly. Many of my clients choose me for help with trauma, life transitions, exploring grief, or gaining momentum in managing anxiety or substance use concerns. I hold a firm belief that all my clients come into therapy doing the best that they can with the tools they have. My hope is that during our work together, you feel heard, understood, and respected for who you are and how you want to move forward. Ultimately, I want our therapy work to help you build a rich and meaningful life and for you to be able to do what truly matters to you even in the face of trying circumstances.
I tailor my approach to your needs and your preferences. I avoid prescribing quick or simple solutions; tools and strategies you take home and the work we do should honour your story and the reality of what challenges you’re facing. Some of the approaches I use include: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). These are research-backed strategies that use eye movement to reprocess traumatic or challenging events (past, present, or even imagined in the future) in order to reduce emotional distress when you face circumstances that previously triggered you.
I hold a Masters degree in Social Work with a clinical specialization. I am trained in EMDR, ART, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. I have received additional training in CBT and DBT.
Fees for counselling are $200 per hour. A therapy hour is considered 50 minutes. My 75-minute sessions (typical for EMDR or ART) are $300. I am available for a free 15-minute virtual meet and greet for you to determine if we’re a good fit. Please see our fees section for more details.
