Through my own journey with pain and mental health I’ve experienced just how difficult it can be to feel alone. I’ve also experienced that when we feel seen, heard, and valued, we are able to explore our inner worlds and feel our emotions in new ways. This is my hope in therapy: creating a safe, welcoming space to journey with clients towards healing and positive change. I recognize that the work that is done in therapy is truly sacred, and I am honored when clients feel safe enough to trust me with parts of their inner world. It takes an immense amount of courage to begin the process of therapy, but I have experienced just how powerful it can be. I’d love to be a part of your journey.

 

My approach is characterized by curiosity and compassion, and meeting clients where they are at with a non-judgemental, non-pathologizing, and trauma-informed approach. I am completing Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy through Trinity Western University, and I work primarily with a systemic, client-centered, and attachment-based lens. I draw most from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
