The way to heal from this, or rather, become whole is through finding meaning.

As the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important components of a beneficial experience in therapy, I use empathy, metaphor, curiosity and sometimes humour to assist clients on their journey of self-discovery and finding meaning.

I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Ongoing learning and growth are important to me.

The work I do in the world is inextricably connected to my ongoing and imperfect engagement with my own healing journey. My hope is that my attempt to live out the work that I offer contributes to an environment where my clients feel safe and supported in their own wellness path.
