With a broad base of life and work experiences, I counsel adults of all ages living with loss, trauma, mood imbalance, and anxiety. Three values guide my practice: connection, growth, and balance. A safe and trusting environment in counselling supports a therapeutic relationship, which can inspire changes in other relationships. Small changes can have a huge impact over time. Lifelong, each of us continues to develop, often learning from our mistakes and suffering. Balance is the key to health. There is healing power in the connections made between the body, heart, and mind.

I have a passion for working with youth and young adults, with 5 years of experience in educational settings as a teacher and school counsellor.

I believe you are the expert in your own life and I hope to foster a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust and understanding. My approach is therefore best described as genuine and collaborative. I'm here to hold space, build trust, and offer a compassionate lens to reframe life’s experiences in ways that resonate with you.

Through compassionate listening, empathy, and genuine connection, I work collaboratively with clients to uncover their strengths, develop coping skills, and cultivate self-compassion.

My goal as a counsellor is to create a safe and supportive space using a strengths-based approach. Together, we will explore stressors and concerns, set goals, and celebrate accomplishments. I work with youth, adults and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and sexual difficulties, and life transitions. I also am experienced in working with trauma and PTSD, specifically historical childhood sexual abuse and sexualized violence.

I also am experienced in working with trauma and PTSD, specifically historical childhood sexual abuse and sexualized violence.
I work with adults struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, perinatal mental health, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
My approach is grounded in the belief that we are always in process, and that much of our pain, anxiety, and stress stems from the belief that there is a place of happiness, belonging, and success that we’ll finally arrive at if we just keep pushing. Rather than focusing on outcomes and “doing" as we have been so deeply socialized to do, I support clients to process and explore their inner experience with curiosity. Through this work, I believe clients can growth their capacity to be with the hard parts of life in a more flexible and supportive way, rather than numbing, distracting, controlling, or hoping for something different.
