Psychotherapy Provider (Registered Social Worker)
Credentials Verified by PM
As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, as well as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider, I offer a safe, non‑judgmental space where you can bring your whole self forward. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, experiences, and internal responses that shape how you move through the world and how you want to move through it next.
My approach is integrative and grounded in evidence‑based strategies, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I support people navigating ADHD and neurodivergence, trauma, relationship stress, and life transitions with a focus on emotional regulation, overthinking, and day-to-day functioning.
Our work will centre on what matters most to you. Whether that’s strengthening executive functioning skills, making sense of past or present experiences, or finding steadier ways to move through daily life. My role is to help you build capacity, not just cope. I am here to support you deepen your self‑understanding, and develop tools that genuinely fit your life.
Therapy for me is focused and practical, helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface while also giving you strategies you can apply in your day-to-day life. The goal is for therapy to feel useful, relevant, and supportive of real change; not just something that stays in the room.
If you’re curious about working together, I’m happy to connect and answer any questions you may have in a free 15-minute consultation
