M.A., RCC
I believe in being fully present to each of my clients and accepting you non-judgmentally with the concerns you bring. I embrace a collaborative approach: we work together to define what therapy will look like and the direction that your journey will take. I will invite you to fully access your emotions and experience, and to integrate them into meaningful decisions.
​
Above all, I believe that each client’s personal experiences, values, and beliefs are of utmost importance and are to be honoured throughout the process. This work is so rewarding to me—seeing the essence of the person sitting across from me and helping you realize your true self in the world.
​
When working with couples, my goal is for each of you to have a good relationship with yourself and to authentically connect with your partner. Concretely, this work can involve practicing the skills of dialogue that create deeper understanding and connection for the couple. It can also involve exploring the intense feelings and reactions, values, personal differences, and wounds from the past that influence current dynamics in the relationship. I find it so fulfilling to support couples in healing and deepening their relationship.
​
In my personal life, I invest a lot of time in raising my two daughters. Some of my passions include being active and outdoors, cultivating community with friends, and creative pursuits like poetry, sewing, and baking delicious desserts.
