My approach to counselling and healing is largely informed by my own mental health journey and personal experience in individual and group therapy. My practice is eclectic, collaborative, and person-centered. My approach is trauma-informed and draws heavily from anti-oppressive and harm-reduction philosophies.
I work from a place of curiosity as we explore your experiences and emotions and work towards your goal(s). I utilize ideas and strategies from a number of theoretical orientations including solution-focused counselling, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based practices.
I am particularly interested but not exclusively focused on supporting clients within the 2SLGBTQ+ community. I aim to support adults (18+) of all identities and social locations within my practice.
