As someone with personal experiences of therapy, I deeply empathize with the challenges of struggling with one’s mental health and finding those first steps toward healing. I view wellness through a holistic lens, recognizing how physical, emotional, and spiritual health interact and are influenced by larger societal factors. I aim to provide compassionate, anti-oppressive care and have a special interest in working with individuals navigating trauma, grief, attachment concerns, and chronic illness.
I am currently in my final year of my graduate studies and have a background in psychology and peace & conflict studies. In my previous roles, I have worked with unhoused community members and adults accessing outpatient psychiatric services. My experiences include co-facilitating psychotherapeutic groups, teaching mindfulness skills, and walking alongside individuals struggling with a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and emotional dysregulation. I have training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and experience in teaching Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills.
I aim to take an integrative approach to therapy by pulling from various modalities – such as Emotion(ally)-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. I firmly believe in the healing nature of developing secure relationships with self and others, orienting towards one’s values, and practicing self-compassion.
My intention is to co-create a non-judgmental and safe space where together we can explore your inner world and learn tools to navigate life’s challenges. I deeply value the relationship we will build together and feel honoured to be a part of your healing journey.
