I am excited to begin my counselling journey with Dearborn Therapy as a practicum student enrolled in Yorkville University’s Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I am committed to using a compassionate, strengths-based approach to help you realize your goals. While I am new to the counselling field, I have extensive experience in community development, using arts-based practices to connect folks to a sense of belonging through shared experiences.
I am inspired by the power of gifts and believe that honouring and celebrating the unique gifts and strengths you hold is the first step to navigating barriers and flourishing. I am particularly drawn to using solutions focused and narrative therapy approaches to help adults reach their goals in managing stress and anxiety, enhancing relationships, and living in alignment with purpose. I acknowledge that there are multiple ways of knowing, and I approach individuals and their story with humility. I am keen on weaving in relevant creative practices to help you access your essence, and to honour it as you engage in your journey towards holistic wellness. I look forward to collaborating with you from a trauma-informed lens, with consideration for the systemic factors at play in your life.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and doggos, being near the water, noticing patterns in nature, and exploring them through my visual arts practice.
I am available for evening or weekend appointments, both in-person and virtual. I welcome you to book
