Life can be complicated no matter what your age is. Managing life transitions such as becoming a teenager or young adult, a parent, or change in any life routine can be difficult. You may be experiencing stress, anxiety, chronic illness, addiction, or relationship issues. Traumas and life stressors we experience can affect how we feel, think, and connect with others. I aim to help you connect with yourself and others in a way that makes you feel more content and confident in life.
I've worked within mental health and addiction inpatient programs as well as community service programs. I have extensive knowledge of mental health, addictions, ADHD, FASD, trauma, parenting, and family dynamics. I have lived experience with neurodiversity and chronic illness; therefore, these are areas of passion for me in my counselling practice.
My approach is strength-based, client-centred, non-judgemental, and compassionate. I aim to understand people within the context of biology, trauma, and family systems. I aim to help you connect with yourself and others in a way that makes you feel more content and confident in life.

While my overall approach is very relational, once that relationship is built, I like to work together with clients to find what therapeutic modality best fits their needs. I do tend have a focus on how our nervous system connects with the physical/emotional/mental.
