Provider information

Description

I often work with clients who feel they have lost their sense of self or who have had challenging and distressing experiences.

I am passionate about helping clients with concerns related to: 
• grief, loss, and life transitions
• anxiety and stress
• substance use and addictions
• trauma and PTSD
• psychedelic integration

My focus in counselling is to connect with clients as another human being, help them make sense of their experiences, and support them in exploring new meaning in their lives. I work with trauma-informed approaches including EMDR and Internal Family Systems.
