I have a deep curiosity about the human experience and a strong belief in the healing power of safe, trusting relationships. We all have an innate capacity to connect more to ourselves and others, and counselling can be a place to explore how to do this. With warmth and curiosity, I support individuals 12+ with concerns related to anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, communication, religious trauma, identity exploration (including gender and sexuality), and the challenges of being a teenager. In additon to individual counselling, I also offer clinical consultation for counselling students currently in their master’s.
My approach is grounded in relational and experiential therapies. I draw on mindfulness, embodiment practices, and theory based in neuroscience. I also like to consider the broader systems we're in, as healing often involves reconnecting not just with ourselves but with others, the land, and the world around us.
My practice is affirming, inclusive, and trauma-informed. I’m committed to creating a space where you can show up as your full self—whether you're questioning, exploring, or simply looking for a place to land and be understood. I have training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) (Level 2) and AEDP (Level 1)
