Description
I enjoy the process of finding meaning and drawing connections together in the stories that unfold in session. As an integrative therapist, I draw on existential, feminist, humanistic, structural, and systemic approaches; folding in techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS). When I am not counselling, I am engaging in creative projects, trekking through nature on skis or by foot, and spending quiet time with loved ones.
