I serve diverse clients in a number of challenges ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, relational stress, low self-esteem, chronic stress or pain, and wellness concerns. I have a background in Kinesiology and holistic wellness coaching, as well as coaching individuals with cognitive dis/abilities. My clinical style is based in Social Justice Narrative practice; processing, exploration and discovery of emotions, and development of self-insight. My Masters was in treatment approaches to transgenerational trauma. My preference is to work weekly or twice weekly for a minimum of 6 months so we can invest in your goals.

I always have been drawn to uncovering the complex ways we are impacted the experiences in our lives. In particular the impact of trauma on our resilience and on our 'stuck' places. Our bodies carry the weight of our histories and the histories we inherit. In reprocessing trauma it is necessary for us to be attuned to these somatic experiences and to foster the wisdom stored within our bodies.

Hi and welcome! I appreciate that it takes courage and strength to start this process. Sometimes, we need help to work through issues. You don't have to deal with your struggles, questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and all of life’s other servings alone. In a non-judgmental, confidential and safe space, shifts can begin to take place. I utilize various modalities, but always come from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and compassion focused lens. I believe in the strength and resilience in every person, and that includes you! Your story matters. You matter…and you deserve healing and happiness. CVAP approved.

I have a deep personal understanding of the struggles faced by today’s youth and young adults.

My passion is to support you through the seasons of your life, pertaining to school, work, and relationships, with improved self-confidence and clarity in your decision

The people I work with often tell me they experience intense, difficult emotions that are hard to control, often leading to harmful coping behaviours and relationship turmoil. Taking a behavioural approach, we work together to develop strategies and tools that support a more fulfilling life—what is referred to in DBT as a "life experienced as worth living.” Wellness tools and strategies we use are informed by DBT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy, but I believe it is the trusting and supportive relationship we build that forms the foundation upon which this challenging yet rewarding work is done.

People often have creative ways of distancing themselves from uncomfortable and painful emotions and experiences. You might find yourself coping by burying them away, keeping yourself endlessly busy and distracted, or saying, I’m okay, I’m just fine. But as these unprocessed things build, you may have an unsettled or anxious feeling, feel that you are not yourself, or experience emotional explosions that confuse or overwhelm yourself or others. You may come to a place where you feel helpless, trapped, or depressed.

Navigating life's many challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and disconnected from ourselves and others. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, ADHD symptoms, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, trauma, or addiction - you deserve to feel empowered to live life on your own terms. Having a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where you feel both challenged and accepted to show up as your authentic self is where your healing journey begins. Together, we can co-create sustainable changes that enhance your resilience to handle future stressors and lead you to a more fulfilling life.
