As well, I have a passion for working with first responders and family members of first responders. I have the privilege to work with Badge of Life Canada as their mental health expert for their Wednesday night peer support groups. I hold my first responder clients close to my heart and share an abundant amount of empathy for them and those surrounding them.
At the heart of my clinical practice is the belief in being collaborative, compassionate, and supportive of my clients always. I can sometimes bring about some humour, as I think it’s important to be able to find the light, but my goal is always to create a safe environment for you to risk and try something different. I work with individuals and couples and am sex therapy informed.

While I believe in the effectiveness of specific modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), I tend to use a variety of evidence-based trauma-informed therapeutic techniques that I will tailor to your individual needs. I believe you are the expert of your own life and I am here to provide non-judgmental, empathic support and guidance along your therapeutic journey. As we work together my hope is that you will increase your own self-awareness, consider new perspectives and learn to use healthy coping strategies so you can live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
