My interest in psychology first emerged out of a gentle curiosity and desire for understanding the person as the sum of their parts. Over the years, this interest has blossomed into a passion for using this understanding toward fostering self-compassion, acceptance, and safety. 

My approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a core mechanism for meaningful change. Through warmth, humour, and an earnest desire to help, I aim to create a collaborative space where a shared curiosity can flourish. I hope to cultivate a therapeutic relationship built on trust, where people can feel safe in bringing the entirety of their authentic selves and be held steadily in their process of self-exploration. I am particularly interested in how relational experiences across the lifespan can inform the ways individuals see themselves and the world around them.  

I work eclectically by drawing on several therapeutic styles to personalize and tailor my approach to the client. This includes drawing upon ACT, DBT, CBT, and compassion-focused therapy, as well as incorporating concepts from schema and psychodynamic therapy. My approach is flexible and reflects an interest in developing a multi-faceted understanding of the people I am privileged enough to support.
