Living in today's world is hard and complex. Psychotherapies have also evolved a lot in the past 10 years, and the timing is ripe to heal intergenerational trauma. My approach seeks to meet people where they are at and provide a deep understanding from which change can happen. I've been a therapist for 14 years and retrained in trauma therapies such as EMDR and Somatic Psychotherapy halfway through my career. I have a lot of trust in people's ability to heal and change, having witnessed these profound journeys many times.

My focus is strongly influenced by a person-centered therapy approach to wellness through different methods such as Eco-therapy or expressive art therapy techniques and using the natural elements available to us should the sessions call for such an approach. Reducing stress and anxiety to create a more peaceful person inside who can claim their meaning and be more joyful in life is a difficult path to walk alone. I am here to help and be part of the healing journey. I have completed my diploma in April of 2023 and plan to continue my education and training to better serve the clients I take on as I evolve as a counsellor.

I specialize in supporting children and parents in navigating neurodiversity's impact on daily life.
Currently only accepting child clients. In therapy, I strive for a safe, judgment-free space to explore your needs and values. I support kids (<12) and their parents navigating neurodiversity, big or overwhelming emotions, coping, and self-care—essential amid a neurotypical-centric world. Collaboratively, using conversation, art, play, or somatic methods, we explore how to meet your needs. Together, we navigate an often isolating, unaccommodating world to understand how it influences your experiences, relationships, and environments. We aim to understand cultural norms, rewriting expectations to align with your unmasked self.
