MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist, Certified Canadian Counsellor
About Me
Qualifications & Experience
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO and a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the CCPA. I am certified in distance counselling, and work with adults, teens, seniors, and couples. I have an MA in Counselling Psychology, nine years’ experience working in the field of mental health, a social justice-based MSc in Human Ecology, and a BAH in Psychology and Religious Studies with a focus on Mysticism and Eastern Religions. I also have two years’ experience working outdoors with children in wilderness skills education, ecological stewardship, and curriculum-linked ecology education, and was formerly a live sound engineer and tattoo artist. My education and life experience provide me with a wholistic and multidimensional perspective on individual issues and their root causes.
Therapeutic Approach
I take a wholistic, trauma-informed approach to psychotherapy. Treatment modalities include, but are not limited to:
- Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
- Narrative Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
- Solution Focused Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
- Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
I focus heavily on developing a safe, authentic, and trusting connection with my clients and highlight client strengths to offer an alternative perspective rooted in positive psychology. I work primarily with clients struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions, as well as those drawn to self exploration. I help my clients to uncover their strengths, untangle their knots, and become the version of themselves they have always wanted to be.
