As a counsellor with lived experience, I specialize in working with individuals and couples with chronic pain and illness, offering a safe and understanding space to process your experience, whether it be: the emotional and psychological toll, the invisibility and invalidation, the exhaustion and uncertainty, or the trauma and dismissals from others, especially the medical system. I also work with caregivers (burnout, isolation, coming to terms, grief and loss, parents of sick children), and infertility (primary, secondary, unexplained, undiagnosed).
My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, combining empathy, emotion-focused therapy, and somatic techniques to help you explore, process and cope with your experiences in a holistic and healing way. Above all, I focus on validating your experiences, and creating a safe and supportive relationship where you will feel deeply seen and understood.
I offer a complimentary 20-minute conversation to help you determine if we're the right fit. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, including adults, teens and couples and I actively strive to be an ally for the LGBTQ2S+ community. I look forward to meeting with you!

Through my lived experience and volunteering with support groups and the support line at Pain BC, I've gained a well-rounded understanding of chronic pain and illness, as well as how to best support individuals facing these challenges. Additionally, I focused my capstone on exploring the mental health effects of infertility in women, which has significantly shaped my approach to counseling.
