healing and growth can thrive. I invest time in understanding my clients, enabling us to develop
personalized goals tailored to your unique needs. This process entails carefully choosing and
implementing suitable therapy techniques that align best with your individual circumstance. Therapy
can be challenging at times but I am committed to standing by your side, offering unwavering support
through your transformative journey.
My style and approach is compassionate and understanding, yet also straightforward
and practical. I do this to promote clarity and minimize confusion by providing clear and concise
guidance, utilizing evidenced based practices. This helps my clients gain a better understanding of their
concerns and goals, as well as the steps required to address them. I bring my authentic self to our therapeutic space to foster trust and emphasize honesty and open communication . I encourage
my clients to practice transparency by creating a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and
emotions.

Lived Experience

I worked in a correctional facility for a number of years as a therapist and
simultaneously spent a number of years as an emergency respond team member. In this role, I responded to large scale incidences including hostage situations and barricaded individuals. I know firsthand the impact that a high stress career can have on the individual, as well as their loved ones. Working within systems you have little control over, high exposure to traumatic incidences, and frequent change can distort how you see the world around you and how you engage with others. I have made it my mission to help individuals in high stress careers respond effectively to their emotional experiences, support their wellbeing, and improve their relationships with others.
