Hi, I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist practicing in Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. I am a social worker, therapist, trailblazer, advocate, Star Trek fan, and a flawed human being. My super power is creating A Safe Space to Unmask. In sessions, I try to cultivate an environment where people feel alright being themselves, feeling their feelings, asking others for what they want/need, being supported as they try to heal from their past, feel empowered as they attempt to address current challenges, and feel hopeful about their ability to navigate whatever the future has in store.
I’ve been where you are. I’ve been on my own journey of courageous exploration and I'm no stranger to anxiety, depression, trauma, or the guilt-shame spiral, so I have great respect for you as you navigate your unique journey. I'm passionate about the therapeutic process and supporting change. I’m a complex trauma specialist who specializes in individual counselling - this means I see you, and only you! In my practice you, your needs, and your desires takes centre stage. I have experience supporting individuals in highly sensitive positions and understand their heightened concerns regarding: privacy. As a solo therapist, you will not be shuffled around therefore I can guarantee the highest degree of privacy; I employ robust security and encryption features to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
What's it like to be in session with me? First and foremost, you'll be HEARD, RESPECTED, AND SUPPORTED. I’m not a blank slate therapist, so expect me to be in the room with you (yeah, even though it's Teletherapy!). You can expect empathy, professionalism, and authenticity to every session. All identities, orientations, and relationship styles are welcome. My practice is a safe space for you to explore your mental health, relationships (with self or others), and personal growth.
