Specialized Training:
Things don't need to be so difficult. Let's collaborate to help you reach your individualized goals. In this journey together we will integrate evidence-based techniques in an environment of acceptance and openness. While I am primarily offering online appointments, some in-person "walk and talk" spots may be available as well. My current work focuses mostly on collaborating with individuals to reach individualized goals by integrating evidence-based techniques in an environment of acceptance and openness. I am particularly drawn to Ecotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Contemporary Brief Therapies (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Brief Narrative Therapy, and Competency-Based Approaches).

Personal Statement:
Struggling to achieve what you think you "ought" to be achieving? Finding barriers you can't seem to overcome on your own? Looking for someone to hold space for you? Life can present challenges in all forms; I am committed to helping you navigate those through flexible, dynamic, and engaging approaches. Let's weave together seemingly disparate parts of your life to help you to feel well. Do well. And be well. I am keen to meet you where you are at and recognize that that looks different for every person.
