Credentials Verified by PM
Life's journey can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with change, isolation, or a negative inner critic. With nearly a decade of experience in the social services field, I provide a safe, compassionate space for support. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to support your journey. Through Compassion Focused Therapy, we’ll cultivate self-kindness, and use DBT for emotional regulation. To deepen self-connection, a Narrative Therapy approach helps reframe your story. Together, we’ll set goals that foster resilience through strength-based methods, empowering you to move forward with clarity and confidence. As a registered social worker and therapist at Creating Connection, I work with young adults and individuals facing challenges with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and feelings of shame or guilt. I’m especially passionate about supporting those impacted by intergenerational trauma and family estrangement.
