I've always been told that I have a pretty imposing resting b---- face, and it's true...I can be quite serious and direct when I need to be. But I always come into a session with curiosity, empathy, and a desire to find ways to support clients in overcoming the challenges they are facing. Many years of quality assurance has led to me being a pretty good detective! I also firmly believe that clients should be free to express themselves in order to allow emotions, thoughts, and feelings to come out during a session, so I am not easily offended by words uttered and emotions coming out. In fact, you may find me releasing my own emotions right beside you. I am not, after all, a robot to sit idly by while you experience something intense. I will be there to allow you to feel your feelings and support you to regain your footing. Whether we're sharing tears, a light-hearted moment, or digging deep into a difficult experience, I am here to walk with you and support you.
I have always been drawn to stories, and my approach to therapy is no different. I feel honoured to witness the stories clients share and, through the use of Narrative Therapy, help clients understand the sources of the stories they tell themselves about who they are and how they move through life. When these stories don't align with who clients want to be, together we look at how we can re-write these stories to empower the client to make lasting changes in their lives.
I have always been drawn to stories and I have also always been a good listener. As a result, people would seek me out (at work, in store line-ups, you name it) to tell me their experiences and get suggestions on what to do. So, I decided I could put these skills to use and learn more about how to support people in coping with life's challenges. And off to school I went! Now, as a Registered Social Worker and Clinical Counsellor, I am honoured to witness my clients' stories and support them in finding their way through the challenging times.
