Who I am as a Therapist

As a therapist, I aim to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to help promote positive change. I have a collaborative approach to therapy and view you as the expert of your own story. I believe that growth and change happen through your increased awareness and understanding, within the contexts of your relationships with yourself, with others, and with your larger communities.

I see therapy as client-led, and I strive to guide the process and stay engaged through offering new perspectives as you discover your emerging goals, while I continuously recognize the power and privileges I hold in my role as a therapist. I am committed to being an ally and providing a secure, welcoming space for individuals in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

My work as a therapist is influenced by the models of emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and narrative therapy, in addition to utilization of mindfulness techniques.

Who I am when I'm not a Therapist

I love spending time outside – going on walks, hikes and picnicking in parks with my loved ones. I enjoy cooking and trying new food, listening to music, dancing, watching reality TV, moving my body with different forms of exercise including teaching and practicing yoga, and cuddling with my dog!
