“Reaching out for help and guidance shows strength, and I always appreciate clients’ strength as well as their curiosity and willingness to grow. I genuinely wish for all my clients to feel safe, heard, and respected so that the healing work can begin.

My own challenging background allows me to bring meaningful depth and understanding to the counselling setting and your unique obstacles. Working from a solution-focused, narrative, or art therapy perspective, I can help guide you towards what you are seeking. Additionally, I pull from mindfulness, spirituality, and holistic health as appropriate for each individual.”

Embarking on therapy can be an intimidating (and courageous!) step to take as you prioritize your well-being. I strive to understand your world and life’s path through the unique experiences, insights, values, strengths and perspectives that make you who you are. You deserve to be respected, supported, and honoured within the therapeutic process that we create together. I will strive to provide you with a non-judgemental, safe space where you can come as you are, unapologetically. Together, we will work on the issues that are most important to you, at a pace that you define.

Do you feel disconnected and alone as you journey through life? Are your emotions overwhelming right now? Does it feel like the isolation, anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm are a barrier to living a whole and connected life? Maybe you’ve experienced some kind of trauma, sexual abuse, or depression and you are at a point where you are ready to move forward and leave those experiences in the past. There are many reasons why you might be here reading this, but you are at a place where you are seeking support to feel better.

Navigating the changes and transitions in childhood and adolescence can be scary. From physical changes to having different feelings about ourselves and others, this period of time is pivotal in our development and can be confusing to figure out alone. Without guidance and support, we can feel lost. I believe that with the right tools and support, anyone can begin their journey towards an improved quality of life. The goal is to find a safe environment where you can share your emotions and feel heard. My hope is to create a collaborative and culturally informed practice by valuing you as the expert in your own life. I also follow the perspective that the mind and the body are connected, therefore all the changes we make have an impact in our physical health and vice versa.

I believe that understanding how our mind and body work to protect us from difficult experiences over the course of the lifespan can help us make sense of ourselves and the world around us. We often equate our experiences to self worth, and may feel stuck in a repetitive loop of stress, anxiety, and feeling misunderstood.

Using a combination of science, evidence-based interventions, humor, and maybe a few too many swear words…(sorry in advance!), my goal is to create a safe, open, and accepting space to support your healing journey.

“As individuals, we each have a unique set of values that guide us. We may or may not be aware of what these values are, and they may shift over time and with experience. I believe that by understanding what is most important to us we have an opportunity to use this information to manage our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour in a way that allows peace of mind and authenticity, which in turn leads to a meaningful life. Using our values to direct our choices and ground us in who we are can allow us to overcome challenges and put us on a path to becoming our best selves..”

Life is beautiful and unique, and it can sometimes have its challenges. It is a journey, and as one of my favourite authors, Brene Brown, would say, "The middle is messy, but it is also where the magic happens." I work from a person-centered perspective where you are the expert in your own life, and my goal is to walk alongside your journey as you navigate your path by building a trusting therapeutic relationship and holding a space for you. I do believe that strength and resilience live within each of us. Because of this, I work alongside my clients as they discover and utilize their strengths and work towards the change they want to see.
