I work with individuals in a reflective and warm approach, helping them navigate life’s stressors and boost their resilience. I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals in helping them identify underlying mindsets (ie. perfectionism, low self-esteem, “imposter syndrome”) and habits that hold them back. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I am committed to providing evidence-based treatments, tailored to the individual’s goals and needs, and doing so through a safe and trauma-informed lens.

February 2025: I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate life’s complexities, where sharing fosters understanding, healing, and growth.

I offer counseling services to individuals, couples and adolescents on Salt Spring Island and virtually across Canada and the United States. My work is personal, compassionate and direct. I stay close to my client’s experience, without judgment, pointing towards opportunities for growth. Life presents us all with challenges and sometimes we need help facing them. We often need a mirror to help us understand how to change outdated behaviors that are just not working or resolve inner conflicts that are keeping us from living a fulfilling life.

My practice focuses on adults who are themselves living with high functioning autism and/or HSP and/or ADHD. The sessions provide opportunities to talk in detail about one’s own unique experiences living with ASD or ADHD with someone who gets you. Engaging guided explorations lead to the revelation of blind spots and the discovery of ways to see things from new perspectives. Collaborative development of tailor-made strategies helps with communication, boundary-setting and the management of daily challenges. Sessions are free from judgement and you are supported to work at your own pace.
