As a counsellor, I support individuals in learning about themselves, discovering more fulfilling ways to navigate all of life’s challenges. I feel that you are the expert on your own life. I would be honoured to walk with you on your journey of reflection and inquiry, as I believe self-awareness to be the cornerstone of all change. My aim is to offer a non-judgmental, empathetic approach, while bringing warmth, curiosity, compassion, integrity, and respect, to the counselling relationship and process.
Addictions recovery and trauma are my specialty practice areas.
I take a keen interest in supporting people to find the services and supports they need. Whether through my services, or by linking you with other clinical supports, I will help you find a good fit.

The therapeutic relationship and alliance is the foundation of all clinical support. Beyond this relational foundation, my approach is inspired and informed by integrating scientific knowledge and spiritual practice into the therapeutic process.. I draw from interpersonal and developmental neurobiology, humanistic and experiential psychology, attachment theory, somatics and mindfulness.
