Many therapy services begin without a clear sense of direction or an understanding of when to expect meaningful change.

My practice is different. I work with you every step of the way to keep you informed and engaged. Together, we figure out what you want your life to look like, figure out the best way to track your progress, and adjust as needed to ensure therapy remains effective and aligned with your needs.

My approach is especially supportive for clients who appreciate clarity, collaboration, and a path forward. You’ll always know what we’re working on, why it matters, and how each session contributes to meaningful change.

People describe me as grounded, honest, and collaborative. I’m actively engaged in the process — offering guidance, bringing ideas forward, and helping you move through places where you may feel stuck. You won’t be left to “figure it out alone”; therapy with me is a shared effort.

My approach blends neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed practices with practical skill‑building exercises and frameworks.

I prioritize creating a space where your lived experience is understood and respected.

Psychotherapy is typically deeper and longer‑term. It focuses on underlying patterns, early experiences, attachment, personality, and trauma. Psychotherapy is often used for complex or persistent concerns and aims to create lasting change in how a person thinks, feels, and relates to others.

Clinical counselling is usually shorter‑term and present‑focused. It supports people in navigating specific life stressors—such as grief, work stress, or relationship conflict—and helps build practical coping skills. It is structured, goal‑oriented, and designed to resolve a particular issue.

My paths [treatment plans] integrate both psychotherapy and clinical counselling. Depending on what has you stuck, one approach may be more relevant than the other. I build on client strengths to support problem‑solving and movement towards your desired life.

New clients start with an intake assessment where we explore your concerns, clarify your desired life, and create an individualized path forward.

I strongly believe an ethical therapeutic relationship includes being fully informed on expected duration and cost of services. For this reason, I always provide my best guess up front on what changes to expect and when. If you aren’t getting the results you are looking for, I support you in trying to find someone who may be a better fit.

I prioritize your engagement and collaboration in creating paths best suited for your needs. I believe it’s important to provide regular meetings, assessment, and structured skill‑building activities so you get the most out of your services. These activities are always adapted based on your life.

Yes. As a Registered Social Worker (RSW), my psychotherapy and clinical counselling services are eligible for reimbursement through most extended health benefit plans. In most cases, you’ll pay for your session upfront and then submit your receipt to your provider for reimbursement.
