Hello! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) who is passionate about supporting clients to navigate challenging life events or mental health concerns. I am also focused on reducing negative stigma of mental health. I have worked in various roles in the social services sector for ten years before beginning my career as a clinical counsellor, including immigration, disability support, outreach counselling, cultural safety, social work and case management. This professional experience combined with lived experience allows me to practice from trauma-informed, intersectional and anti oppressive frameworks.
Having struggled with identity, sexulity, depression and anxiety from a young age, I became fascinated with learning about psychology to manage my mental health and begin my healing journey. I have always loved helping people and wanted to combine my passions and build a career that allows me to collaborate with clients and support their healing process.
I am a neurodivergent, queer woman with French ancestry, and my work takes place on the stolen and unceded lands of the Coast Salish peoples, colonially known as "Vancouver, British Columbia". I am an uninvited guest on these lands, and I am committed to creating a practice that centers decolonization, intersecting identities and transformative justice.
