She values ongoing learning and has received further training that allows her to use an approach tailored to you, including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Psychedelic Integration, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
In her spare time, she finds balance for herself by getting out into nature, practicing yoga, playing soccer and volleyball, snowboarding, and playing with and training her Border Collie.
