Individual Therapy

My approach to therapy starts with the simple idea that there is nothing wrong with you. In fact, if we sat down and talked about it, we’d likely find that the way you’ve responded to your own life makes perfect sense in context. And since there is nothing wrong with you, I won’t fix you. Instead, we’ll work toward building the life you want to live, one step at a time. And if something is getting in the way, we will work it out together. 

Rather than use a 'textbook' approach, I adapt many different kinds of therapy to support you. Those include:

• Acceptance and commitment therapy
• Narrative therapy
• Cognitive processing therapy
• Dialectical behavioural therapy skills
• LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy
• Mindfulness-based interventions
• Trauma-focused interventions

I can work with adults and young people (ages 12+). I have the most experience working alongside:

• LGBTQIA+ people
• neurodivergent people
• people living with the impacts of trauma and complex trauma

This includes people who are questioning, pretty sure, or 'self-diagnosed'. A formal diagnosis is not required to receive support (and as a social worker, I do not 'do' assessment or diagnosis).

If you are currently suicidal or in a crisis, I may refer you to additional services. You will not lose access to support from me - rather, I will encourage you to lean into multiple sources of support.

I provide telehealth therapy by phone and video. For many people, this is a low-demand, accessible way to connect and access support.

I am currently accepting new telehealth therapy clients on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Outdoor therapy for folks who struggle in a stuffy office. This therapy can be adapted to you - nature based sitting therapy is also a totally valid option!

I am currently accepting new walking therapy clients on Friday afternoons.
