Description
I take an integrative strengths-based and culturally appropriate approach, drawing from a combination of evidence-based treatment modalities including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have experience working with youth and individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship issues, negative self-talk, mood instability, and those in periods of transition. I also have experience working with newcomers to Canada and youth in conflict with the law.

Summary
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to explore our practice. People seek counselling for a number of reasons; most often, in hope of gaining support through a new challenge, life transition, or difficulties from the past. Whatever is bringing you to our page, we are happy to help you with. We firmly believe that every person has the innate ability to cope with the challenges in their lives, but sometimes experiences from the past make it difficult to tap into these abilities. We can work to bring forward the parts of you that are seeking change and heal what has been getting stuck.
