Under the Oak is a place to learn and unlearn. A place to sit and be present, to think and feel what is needed. A place to be seen and a place to heal.
Person-Centred
No two people are the same — and therapy shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.
I believe your story, your experiences, and your goals matter. Our work together is shaped around you, not a formula. I seek to create a compassionate, trusting relationship where you feel safe to be honest, explore what’s hard, and grow at your own pace. Therapy is a collaboration, and I’m committed to walking alongside you as you move toward the life you hope for.
Evidence-Based
I care deeply about offering therapy that is both thoughtful and effective.
I am committed to ongoing learning and regularly pursue advanced training in evidence-based approaches. My work is grounded in current research and best practices, while always remaining flexible to your individual needs. We will pay attention to what is helping, adjust when needed, and work intentionally toward meaningful, lasting change.
Trauma-Informed
I believe every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and understood in therapy.
Many people come to counselling carrying painful experiences, whether they recognize them as “trauma” or not. I strive to provide a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued — without judgment. My approach is sensitive to culture, faith, identity, and personal history, honouring the whole person you are. Together, we work toward healing, resilience, and renewed hope.
Christian Faith-Integrated Care
For clients who desire it, I am open to thoughtfully integrating Christian faith into our work together.
This is always guided by your values and comfort level, and is never assumed or imposed. For many, a biblically grounded understanding of identity, suffering, grace, and restoration provides meaningful perspective, strength, and hope as part of a holistic approach to healing.
