Why I Do What I Do

I come to this work with a heart that knows how harsh the world can be — and with deep respect for the courage it takes to keep showing up.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in healthcare: in crisis intervention, addiction and trauma recovery, grief counselling, and hospital and community care for both physical and mental disability. Those years taught me that healing isn’t about “fixing” — it’s about being understood.

Therapy, to me, is a deeply human process: meeting you where you are, slowing down enough to listen, and rebuilding the self-worth and belonging that life may have fractured.

At the centre of it all is attunement — learning to listen inwardly with compassion, and outwardly with honesty so that you can reconnect with yourself and others from a place of understanding rather than survival.

What We Might Explore:

• Self-Worth & Identity — when you’ve been told you’re “too much” or “not enough.”

• Anxiety, Depression, Trauma & Overwhelm — finding calm, steadiness, and self-trust.

• Relationships & Couples — deepening safety, rebuilding connection, and repairing communication.

• Family Dynamics — healing from patterns or systems that have shaped your self-worth.

• Boundaries & Communication — learning to speak clearly and listen deeply.

• Neurodivergent Clients — spaces that affirm difference and honour identity.

• Grief & Loss — of people, dreams, or versions of yourself.

• Military-Connected Clients — veterans, partners, and families searching for belonging.

• Healthcare Workers & Caregivers — those who care for everyone but themselves.

How I Support Clients

• My work weaves together both the heart and science of therapy — always through an attuned, person-centred lens.

  • Existential Therapy — exploring the big questions of meaning, freedom, and what it means to reclaim yourself.

  • Person-Centred Therapy — rooted in unconditional positive regard, empathy, and deep respect for your autonomy.

  • Adlerian Therapy — cultivating belonging, purpose, and encouragement in the face of life’s challenges.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — understanding attachment needs and building emotional safety within yourself and relationships.

• When appropriate, I integrate practical tools to support regulation and insight:

  • CBT, DBT, and Somatic Practices for grounding and emotional balance.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore inner parts, nurture self-leadership, and heal from within.

  • Gottman Method Strategies to strengthen communication and repair bonds in couples therapy.

  All of this is held within a culturally aware, identity-affirming, and neurodivergent-affirming framework — honouring diversity, dismantling shame, and celebrating your strengths.
