About Me

Check out my profile on psychology today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1319474

With over a decade of experience in the field of mental health and counseling, I am a dedicated and compassionate professional specializing in providing support and guidance to youth. I have a deep passion for working with young people, particularly those facing significant challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem issues, anger management, and relationship difficulties.

I employ a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, ensuring that each individual’s inherent strengths and resilience are recognized and fostered. This method not only helps in addressing immediate concerns but also empowers youth to build a solid foundation for their future well-being. I am committed to using evidence-based practices to ensure the highest standard of care, continually integrating the latest research and techniques into my work.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with diverse groups of youth, including military youth, Indigenous youth, LGBTQ+, and those in conflict with the law. This broad experience has equipped me with a unique understanding of the varied and complex issues faced by these populations, allowing for tailored and effective interventions.

Outside of my professional life, I am an avid nature enthusiast, and music lover. I believe in the therapeutic power of nature and often incorporate natural settings into my counseling practice, recognizing the calming and restorative benefits it offers. This holistic approach not only aids in healing but also promotes overall mental wellness.

I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of young people, guiding them through their struggles and helping them to emerge stronger and more resilient. My dedication, sense of humour and empathetic nature, combined with a compassionate and informed approach, make me a trusted and effective counselor in the field of youth mental health.
