Meet The BFT

I hold a Bachelor of Arts (BA) from St. Thomas University and a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Counselling Psychology from the University of New Brunswick.

 

My approach to counselling is first and foremost directed at providing a comfortable, welcoming, non-judgemental space. I meet you where you are at and go from there.

 

I am also trained in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR. This is a form of treatment originally used for folks who lived through trauma; but has been found to be effective in treating many other mental health conditions. 

 

During sessions we will work together to create goals, foster resilience, gain skills and coping strategies to empower you to work towards change and combat your negative thinking to ultimately improve your well-being.

 

I recognize the importance of diversity and cultural identity and I will work to understand your beliefs, values, and traditions and how to implement them into your plan. I work at being anti-racist, non heteronormative, and affirming.

 

I am a Professional Member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and am WPATH trained in trans and gender non-conforming health. As such, I work under the WPATH Standards of Care version 8 to provide letters of support for gender affirming surgeries and hormone affirming therapy.
