I know that it takes courage to face one’s fears and embrace the therapeutic process. I honour and appreciate each person who chooses to take this journey. As a therapist who has lived and faced many of my own challenges and fears, I focus on creating a safe therapeutic space where issues may be addressed, and healing can take place.
I work with individuals and families in a number of different areas, specializing in the misuse of power, or abuse.
I work with all types of abuse, which can include psychological, emotional, physical, financial, intellectual, cultural, social, verbal, sexual, and spiritual. I have particular empathy and concern for women, men, their partners, and the children of families who deal with the imbalance of power, break-up violence, domestic violence, family violence, intimate partner violence, and abuse.
I work from a client-centered approach, driven by an understanding that we do not exist alone, but in systems that highly impact us. I believe in caring for the whole person; mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. I have obtained a Masters of Marriage & Family Therapy (MAMFT), a Bachelor of Arts in Religion (BA), and an Executive Graduate Certificate in Domestic Violence (Cand.).
I am also a trained EMDR Therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), drawing from this skill when working with those who have experienced and witnessed trauma.
