Welcome! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I hold a Master's degree in counselIing. Sometimes difficult emotions and patterns can keep us from feeling fulfilled and at peace. Experiences may have led to disconnecting from ourselves, or bracing against life, in order to get by. Working with a counsellor can help us find new ways to connect and come back to ourselves. When provided the space and safety for inner exploration, I have seen how clients can connect to confidence, clarity, self-compassion and the core aliveness that we all possess.

Do you feel like you’ve been at war with your body for as long as you can remember? Weight stigma and years of believing something is “wrong” with you can leave deep scars. If you’re using a GLP-1 medication, you may be facing new challenges—grieving old coping mechanisms, feeling lost without cravings, or unsure how to live in this “new” body. I specialize in supporting lifelong struggles with weight, shame, and body image. You are not broken. Together, we’ll create a safe space to heal, unlearn harmful stories, and build a compassionate relationship with yourself.

Are you tired of feeling like every challenge is a mountain you can’t climb? Is the burden you carry too heavy to bear alone? When life feels like you’re wandering through mists that cloud your path forward, you need someone to shine a light & guide you, someone who can help you find your inner strength & courage. As a trauma therapist, I help people heal from adverse life experiences & navigate a path forward. Trauma isn't always a single event. Even when the mind has moved on, the body remembers. The body may stay on high alert, & present as emotional dysregulation, feeling unsafe in relationships, & having low self worth.

Do you ever wonder who you’re expected to be in different spaces, or catch yourself thinking, “Am I too much? Not enough? Doing this all wrong?” Do you ever feel you don’t quite fit anywhere, always shifting, keeping it together, or being the steady one while everything around you keeps changing? Maybe you’re carrying expectations from your family, culture, or relationships that feel heavy, and confusing. If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t need the right words or to over-explain yourself to belong here. This is a place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together, a space where you can be just yourself.

I believe in an individualized, caring and respectful approach when working with clients to become more resilient and effective in their lives. Many people believe that the skills and motivation needed to maneuver all of life’s obstacles are automatically within all of us. But many of us learn ineffective ways of communicating, develop unhealthy patterns or find ourselves stuck with no idea of how to move forward. Having a dedicated time to examine patterns, build skills and develop a deeper understanding of ones’ strengths can help build a greater sense of wellness and clarity in our lives.

Life can be unpredictable and can feel overwhelming at times. Along the way we sometimes rely on familiar and comfortable patterns of thought and behaviour that work in some ways yet ultimately don't bring us closer to who we want to be. I feel so honoured to be invited into your world and I take the responsibility to help make life more manageable, meaningful, and fulfilling seriously. I value your individuality and integrate elements from different evidence-based therapeutic approaches into my work with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness based practices.

The soul calls to us in many ways. Often, the call to move inward comes in the form of a crisis. Life may feel destabilized, old patterns may be breaking, and a sense of urgency or confusion can arise. A crisis may reveal itself as significant relationship challenge, great loss, suicidal thoughts, loss of meaning, persistent anxiety, addiction, or simply an uncomfortable tug that persists no matter our efforts. These experiences are the psyches invitation into deeper awareness, transformation, and wholeness. My work offers a space to explore, attune, and integrate the deeper truths within you.
