While there is no doubt moving through life is hard and uncertain, we are all deserving of peace and clarity. No matter if you've struggled with body image and food, grapple with the lasting effects of religious trauma, or are on a journey exploring your identity, with support and a safe space finding a solid footing in life is possible. One where your skills and strengths are just as clear as your challenges, and you feel grounded as you navigate the uncertainties and painful moments that come with being human.
As a therapist, I offer you my support in this process, aiding you in writing the next chapter of your story. One filled with clarity and intention as you process and assign meaning to the influential events and relationships that have led to this moment. With time, your pain can begin to feel less sharp as your purpose and sense of self come into focus.
Working together, I bring who I am. I aim to be both curious and candid and, at times, hold you accountable and challenge patterns that hold you back. I also hope to make space for humour and exploration as you find it within yourself to embrace the vulnerability of your emotions and inner world. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

As a Narrative therapist, I offer my collaboration with you as a co-author, writing the next chapter of your story filled with meaning, intention, and hope. Together, we embrace the painful experiences, weaving them into stories of acceptance, strength, and joy. Affirming that counselling is not a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, I often weave elements of other approaches into my work.
