Rowan Oak Therapy

Not sure if counselling is right for you? No problem! Reach out and let’s discuss how I can help you.

As with all meaningful relationships, we need to work well together. You will decide if we are a good fit for each other.  The benefit of therapy will largely depend on how comfortable and connected you feel to me and the space we will share.

About Me

I started a Masters program in Counselling Psychology in September 2022 with a targeted graduation date of August 2025.

I start my Graduate Internship at Riverwest Therapy Collective this September 2024

I envision myself as a holistic and integrative therapist.

I believe that: 

  • Everyone deserves to tell their story 
  • The dignity of all people is a basic human right
  • People are capable of change and living a truly honest and fulfilling life 
  • People can develop the skills for consistent self-awareness and emotional reflection
  • People are happiest when their life aligns with their values and beliefs
  • The mind and body are connected. You cannot take care of one without the other
  • People should receive treatments that are supported by evidence

Social justice values are foundational to my practice. I am committed to anti-racist, anti-oppressive, non-discriminatory values. I am committed to understanding your unique cultural identity to provide a holistic and personalized therapeutic approach.

I am committed to ongoing professional education and training to stay relevant to the world and psychotherapy. This allows me to provide the most suitable and evidence-based treatment options available.
