Welcome - thank you for being here with me. I am passionate about honouring voice, story, and lived experiences in the ways that they feel most heard and safely witnessed. As a counsellor, my goal is to walk alongside you to co-create an empowering space of compassion, empathy, and relational understanding that meets you where you're at as you navigate life. I am anchored in intersectional, relational, narrative, culturally-responsive and anti-oppressive approaches in therapeutic work. I am grateful to work with communities and people from all walks of life and backgrounds towards personal and collective healing & liberation.
I support communities in both individual & family therapy settings and folks navigating identity, ADHD, Autism, belonging, self-esteem, relationships, systemic trauma, racial trauma and identity, burnout and intergenerational & ancestral healing. I will be working under the supervision of Mary Klovance, RCC, as I complete my thesis in my final year.
My hope is to work with you to find strategies that fit for you and celebrate your unique strengths and resiliencies to (re)create new empowering stories and realities. Finding the right fit in counselling is so important, and it would be an honour to connect with you via a free consultation to support you in whatever decision best meets you and your needs.
