My approach to therapy

I help individuals cultivate deeper self-awareness and clarity by exploring the patterns and experiences that shape their lives. My approach is relational and experiential, focusing on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact in real time to form our lived experience.I draw from mindfulness-centered, evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Contemporary Gestalt Therapy, and Jungian depth psychology.My style avoids advice-giving or assuming I know what’s best for you. Instead, I see my role as an empathic “human mirror,” that listens and reflects your patterns back to you, giving you an external perspective on your situation, so you can live more intuitively.

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 America 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.
