I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Before completing my Master's in Counselling, I worked for six years with at-risk youth in non-profit and government organizations. I have supported youth and adult clients with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, ADHD, trauma, and LGBTQIA+-related issues. Throughout my career, I've worked closely with the queer community. As a queer and trans therapist, my lived experience enables me to deeply empathize with and understand the unique challenges of LGBTQIA+ individuals.

As a warm, authentic, and compassionate online therapist, I’ve specialized in working with chronic pain and trauma. As I’m able to offer a unique blend of lived experience from having navigated these challenges myself. That's why I get that chronic pain and trauma can feel isolating, like you're navigating a complex maze alone. I’ve wondered that path, while juggling being a mom, student, business owner, and therapist. So please know that you're not alone! I've personally traversed this challenging terrain of chronic illness, and I know firsthand the emotional and physical toll it takes. That's why I'm here to listen and help you.

Many of the clients I see feel a deep sense of sadness, pain, or worry that interferes with their ability to fully engage in their lives. Often they struggle in regulating their emotions, feeling grounded, and effective in their daily living. Relationships with others are more difficult than they would like. Previous experiences or traumas might lead to intrusive memories or thoughts. They might have goals that they fall short of meeting or want to continue to excel under pressure. Life can be stressful, scary, unbearable, and complex- you don't have to face it alone.

Exercising our minds is one of the four important components of healthy aging and slowing the progression of cognitive decline. Creating stimulating activities for your loved one with dementia can be challenging, time-consuming, and add to caregiver burden. Our cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) program is an enjoyable evidence-based therapy consisting of 14 sessions over 7 weeks (delivered twice weekly). Robust research shows it can improve cognition, memory, language, and quality of life for those living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early to mid-stage dementia.
