Very little about human experience surprises me anymore — yet people continue to move and inspire me.

I am deeply open-minded, curious, and grounded in a strong sense of relational and community responsibility. My work is shaped by decades of clinical practice and by a lived understanding of complexity, resilience, and care under pressure. I bring steadiness, intuition, and a thoughtful sense of humour into the therapeutic space, creating an environment where people can feel safe enough to speak honestly and begin to heal. 

​

I am also attentive to the spiritual, cultural, and meaning-making dimensions of people's lives, including experiences of spiritual or religious harm, loss of community, and the search to rebuild identity after trauma. Therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating space for integration, dignity, safety, and renewed choice. 

​

Professionally, I have worked within provincial  mental health and welfare systems and continue to support charitable and community-based initiatives focused on intimate partner violence. I have also been involved in  a federally funded research project examining coercive control and the challenges faced by culturally insular communities, work that informs my clinical and supervisory practice. 

​​

My therapeutic approach is integrative, relational  and responsive to each person's inner world and culture. I draw primarily from psychodynamic and relational traditions, alongside somatic and trauma-informed approaches, adapting therapy to the pace, needs and lived experience  of the individual. This includes support for individuals affected by intimate partner violence, spiritual abuse, and trauma within religious or culturally insular communities.
