I am an experienced therapist, counsellor and clinical supervisor with extensive experience in the UK and Canada. Over the years, my practice has evolved and deepened and I feel so privileged to bring my deepening experience to clients. My aim is to really hear and understand the lived experience of each person I work with. From there, we develop a tailored plan to help each client to improve their lives in the ways they identify needs. Often we'll explore patterns that can impact clients' lives and explore ways to shift - this can include new tools and skills that can bring immediate change while also developing sustainable long-term shifts in self-concept, self-esteem, thought patterns and behaviours that clients can continue to build on beyond our work together.  

​

I bring a solid knowledge-base to clients. This includes multiple graduate degrees and engaging regularly in professional development. I have expertise in a range of therapeutic modalities and systems of change including specialist training in anxiety disorders, trauma, grief and loss, attachment, compassion-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy and mindfulness. I keep up-to-date with cutting-edge neuroscientific research that informs our understanding of the brain-body connection and healing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed and grounded in anti-oppression and anti-racism principles. 

Added to my knowledge base and skills as a therapist is what I consider to be the heart of my work: caring, respect, trust, and "realness" with clients. I don't have a "one size fits all" approach; everyone's experience is unique and everyone deserves unique attention. I value my clients' experiences, feelings and goals, and acknowledging that they are the experts in their own experiences is the starting point of our partnership. My clients and I, together, bring valuable experience, expertise and insights to our therapeutic work.

 In clinical supervision, I help therapists deepen their effectiveness and self-awareness and develop their practices as we explore issues of a clinical, professional and practical nature that impact the therapeutic process and therapeutic relationship.
