Provider information
Description
Using a client/family-centred approach, I create a brave space for adults, couples, and families to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at their own pace. With over 15 years in healthcare and a background in health promotion, I blend psychoeducation with psychotherapy for accessible, holistic care. My practice is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and strengths-based, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.
