If trauma can be passed down from generation to generation, so can your healing
I have had the privilege of practicing as a Clinical Social Worker (MSW, BSW, RSW) for eight years in various settings, including health care, community mental health, individual and family therapy, and school settings. At the heart of my practice is relational therapy, which focuses on developing strong therapeutic relationships that value authentic, empathic connections where people can truly feel seen, heard, and understood. My practice is deeply rooted in evidence-based, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed approaches.
As an attachment-focused therapist, I have gained experience working alongside people of all ages (children, adolescents, and adults), providing individual, couples, and family therapy. My areas of specialty include supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, school or work-based stress, grief and loss, relational concerns, and life transitions.
My expertise in attachment allows me to deeply understand how our past, upbringing, and family systems impact us; this allows me to operate from a space of empathy and genuine care. I honour clients’ unique strengths and needs and integrate a variety of approaches into my practice including emotionally focused therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, narrative therapy, mindfulness and somatic-based techniques, and EMDR.
One of my life’s greatest privileges is being a clinical social worker. I continue to learn so much from the brave human beings who have trusted me with their life stories. I believe that you are the expert of your story, and it is a true privilege for me as a therapist to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
I hold a deep appreciation for the courage needed to seek out support and am honoured to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and accepting space for you to share your story. Regardless of where you are in your journey, it is never too early or too late to reach out. Finding a therapist that you feel safe with is so important, which is why I offer 15-minute complimentary phone calls to explore if I may be the ‘right fit’ for you.
