I believe every client has the wisdom and resilience they need to live meaningful and fulfilled lives, including healthy, vibrant relationships. I see my role as a supportive scaffold, which stands strong to enable my clients to embrace the vulnerability needed to heal both personally and within their relationship. Each client’s journey is informed by their mind and body; I incorporate information from both of these as we navigate the therapy process. In therapy I focus on issues of existence, including growth towards self-awareness and self-acceptance, and meaningful behavioral change. I enjoy working with individuals, especially those facing trauma and life transition, couples, those in poly relationships, and the LGBTQ2S* community. I completed my Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology at McGill University, and my master’s degree in Counselling Psychology at the University of Alberta. I have trained and taught about therapy at world-class universities across Canada and the United States, and am committed to publishing research that moves therapy forward. I am working towards becoming a registered psychologist under the supervision of Laura Kennedy.
