The people I work with are creative, caring individuals who feel stuck or out of sync with their desired path. Sometimes they feel disengaged from what is important to them. They are motivated for change and open to trying new approaches, seeking a compassionate, understanding therapist to help them navigate their challenges. With my registration in BC and Alberta, I offer virtual sessions throughout Western Canada. I aim to empower clients to achieve their goals and align their lives with their core values.
I have built on my extensive education and practical experience with specialized training in various areas, such as trauma, contemporary therapy approaches, sex and sexuality, gender issues, and relationships. My approach to therapy is personalized and sensitive to the unique needs of each person.
Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, struggling with substance use, or seeking help for a mental health concern, I am here to support you with therapy and counselling. My goal is to empower you to overcome obstacles and achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward well-being.
