My approach to therapy

I help individuals cultivate deeper awareness and clarity by exploring the patterns and experiences that shape their lives. My style is relational and experiential, focusing on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact in real time to form our lived experience.My practice draws on mindfulness-centered, evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Contemporary Gestalt Therapy.Good therapy isn’t about giving advice and I don’t pretend to know what’s best for you. Instead, I aim to be a kind of human mirror that strives to understand and empathically reflect your experience. This allows you to better understand your patterns and opens up via novus—a new way—toward person growth, where change becomes more intuitive and life begins to unfold with greater ease.

About me

I'm a Canadian Certified Counsellor and licensed member (# LCT-C24-089) of the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick.

Born and raised in New Brunswick, I earned a PhD from McGill University in 2008 and worked in the U.S. and Europe as a molecular biologist. Finding myself unfulfilled by my career, I returned home in 2017 and began working with youth in local group homes. I quickly learned that the ‘helping professions’ align with my deeper values of compassion and care, leading me to pursue a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at UNB. Every time I sit with a client, I feel reinforced in my choice to become a therapist, and am grateful for the work I do.
