When working with a client I try to tailor my approach to counselling based on your specific needs, personality, and story. I believe that therapy should be a space where you can say what you don’t feel you can say anywhere else. I operate in an anti-oppressive framework, in recognition of marginalized communities’ and individual’s unique challenges. I feel that laughter can be a strong medicine. My hope is to be a place where you can be yourself and not filter yourself. I hope to cover as many chapters as you would like to share, so we can figure out what the next chapters of your life can be about.

It’s hard for me to describe my approach to counselling, because I try to tailor it to your specific needs, personality, and story. But I can touch on a few beliefs that (I hope) give you a sense of my philosophy:
– Therapy should be a space where you say what you don’t feel you can say anywhere else. That may take some getting used to, but it’s an important understanding to develop.
– Laughter can be a strong medicine. As one who used to do stand-up comedy, I know how much work it can be to get to a point where you can laugh a little, or at least crack a smile. As one who has availed myself of therapy, I know how some therapists can be a “tough room” and make you feel self-conscious, despite the best of intentions. My hope is to be an “easy room” where you can be yourself and not filter yourself.
– Empathy matters more than just about anything. I’m told I have a high level of empathy, but I would say that is just another way to describe curiosity. If I gloss over too many chapters of your life’s story, then of course some things won’t make as much sense. That is why I hope to cover as many chapters as you would like to share, so we can figure out what the next chapters can be about.
– I operate in an anti-oppressive framework, in recognition of marginalized communities’ and individuals’ unique challenges.
