I’m committed to the idea that clinical practice is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to client-centred care. I believe that each individual deserves personalized attention, respect, and empowerment to take charge and control of their healing and self-discovery journey. My approach is collaborative when I see the client as the driver and me as the passenger; the client has a destination to reach and I’m helping them arrive there safely. Holistically, I acknowledge the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, spiritual and social wellness and will help the client integrate these aspects into their transformation process.

What Sets Me Apart?

Recognizing that a “one size fits all” approach does not apply to everyone, I apply a myriad of therapeutic approaches including Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Strengths-Based Approach and Narrative Therapy.

As a culturally sensitive, compassionate, and affirming mental health professional, I have had the privilege of working with diverse communities, fostering inclusive and empathic care. My experience spans over a number of years, with a focus on gender-based violence (intimate partner violence, sexual violence and family violence), mood disorders (depression and anxiety), grief and loss, coping with life-altering illnesses, the effects of compassion fatigue and burnout and academic stress. I have worked with and provide an inclusive and welcoming environment to individuals from various cultural identities, including persons with new or precarious newcomer status, members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community and persons who identify as male, female, non-binary, trans and gender questioning.

My approach is rooted in cultural humility, empathy and a deep understanding of the complex intersection that shape individual experiences and my expertise lies in creating a space where individuals can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings. This includes challenging and reframing harmful gender stereotypes and actively promoting healthy masculinity.

I offer specialized and culturally sensitive support to clients with the intention to create a safe and empowering therapeutic environment that honours the diversity and strength of all clients and I’m committed to co-create a personalized and effective treatment plan that honour the unique needs and resilience of each individual. I’m passionate about advocating for social justice and promoting inclusive and equitable practices in mental health care to ensure that all individuals can thrive and live authentically. I place the client as the expert and assist them in navigating the path to reach their specific goals as they relate to healing, personal growth, resiliency and introspection.
