I work with individuals, couples, and families, navigating different and complex life challenges. I listen with empathy in developing a working relationship and want everyone to feel respected and understood. I take pride in helping people make the most of their lives and relationships, and I value honesty, curiosity, and self-reflection to help them achieve that. My approach is integrative and is informed by several therapeutic models. I aim to cultivate a mutual understanding of the potential presenting issues and identify where the focus of therapy should be. I spent several years as a primary and secondary school teacher and a youth protection social worker. In addition, I have worked with teenagers, families, and traditional and non-traditional couples in a community setting.
