As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with an educational background that emphasizes the importance of therapeutic interventions, I am committed to helping you address your concerns. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a double minor in Criminology and Religion & Culture from Wilfrid Laurier University. I have fostered my growth and passion for a career in which I can create meaningful change through collaboration with my clients.
I appreciate the role that successful interventions can play in achieving control over one’s mental health through an anti-oppressive and collaborative framework. I understand that one’s mental health is constantly evolving, and I would be happy to help you achieve your goals.
Essential to my practice is to offer a non-judgemental approach in which I welcome those going through all walks of life. Further, I believe that lived experience is crucial in creating connection and empathy, which has fuelled my passion for trauma-informed work.
Depending on your concerns, goals, and needs, I utilize a variety of clinical approaches and techniques to assist you. Including but not limited to:
The focus of person-centred therapy is always on you and not on any diagnosis or categorization. As a Clinical Counsellor, I provide a climate conducive to personal growth and change. Through empathy and trust, our relationship will be productive, genuine, and non-judgemental. Together, we explore your thoughts and feelings, positive or negative, without the risk of rejection or judgement.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the way you think (cognitive) and act (behavioural). CBT helps you to identify the relationship between your thoughts and your feelings. By making small changes to the way you think, you can ultimately change the way you feel.
A key component to solution focused therapy is helping you identify your strengths, resources and problem-solving skills. Together we can discover solutions that build on what you are already good at. We will utilize your existing strengths and skills as a basis for problem-solving and growth.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or families within each person’s mental system. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self.
