I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). What does qualifying mean? For me, it means that I have completed my formal education and hours toward licensure, but missed the deadline to register for the most recent sitting of the regulatory exam. See my next point…
I am neurodivergent. This can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For me, it means that I have lived experience with some common struggles that ND folks encounter. This might show up in our sessions as offering up skills that I have found helpful, being able to follow tangents, using a lot of analogies during discussions, or needing to occasionally pause so my mouth can catch up with my brain.
I have a background in anatomy and physiology and sometimes nerd out about topics like the human nervous system. If this isn’t your thing, we can come up with a “safe word” or something so I know when to tone it down.
I strive to be flexible in my approach. If something isn’t working for you, I want to know! Your sessions are about YOU, so let’s work together to meet your therapeutic goals.
I exclusively offer virtual or phone appointments. This means you can access me from anywhere in Ontario! Also, I live in Alberta so the commute would be atrocious.
