My Approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence based practice. I believe healing happens when clients feel safe, understood, and empowered, so I work alongside you to explore your experiences at a pace that honours your needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to tailor our work in a way that supports both clarity and meaningful change.

With a background in clinical psychology and occupational rehabilitation, I also bring a strong focus on trauma, chronic pain, workplace injuries, and the emotional impact of health and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and guided by principles of social justice, equity, and inclusion.

Whether we’re processing difficult experiences, rebuilding your relationship with your body, or developing practical tools for managing stress, mood, or pain, my goal is to create a space where you feel supported, capable, and connected to what matters most in your life.
