I am probably not the stereotypical therapist. I am talkative, high energy, and love to collaborate with my clients! I am extremely passionate (and nerdy) about my job and understanding why we do what we do. I have been told my relaxed yet outgoing nature often puts people at ease. My hope is that this encourages deeper healing and self-compassion - life is hard enough already without feeling judged in a counselling session! Many of my clients have expressed that working with me is like having a conversation with a friend, and that is my goal as a therapist: to create a casual but empowering environment for you to grow in while going deeper to understand the situation so you can create the life you truly desire! Almost every tool or technique I give to my clients I have tested out on myself first so please know, you are not alone - we are all human! The healing journey can be a hard one, but I believe is it easiest to connect with others who have walked a similar path. So, if you are looking for a therapist who isn’t just going to sit there nod their head, who is passionate, and thrives off putting pieces of the puzzle together, then I think we will be a great fit!

I've been fascinated by human psychology since I was a kid, as it sparks my curiosity. I love putting pieces of the puzzle together, hearing people's stories, and using that to put it all together to create lasting change. I use my intuition to guide me in the right direction and do my best to back it up with research & resources to further explain it. My love of facts & learning combined with my heightened intuition allows me to connect the conscious & subconscious dots so we can find any limiting beliefs that might be blocking you. You might even hear me reference my “spidey senses" in a session. I always wondered how I could show up as the best version of myself. But, this realization did mean having to put in the work myself and practice what I preach! 

Ps. The healing is never done and this is why I help my clients create a toolbox for life no matter how choppy the waters may feel. You are not your negative thoughts - they were simply programmed through trauma or created survival instincts in childhood - and yes we can reprogram them!
