Dear clients, I am sending you my warmest greetings as you take this incredible step of showing up for yourself here. Life could be unbearable and confusing at times. I believe that the complexity of life is sometimes beyond words, but never beyond love and the desire to connect with ourselves. It is my hope to meet you and honor your life stories with compassion, love, and a true desire to listen. I look forward to going on this amazing journey with you, one in which we explore the peace, love, and light within you through developing practical ways of healing that suit you the most.
I am a registered clinical counsellor and a professional art therapist. My passion and specialties are: Art Therapy, EMDR, Chronic Pain Management, Complex Trauma and Grief, Gottman Method Couple Therapy, and supporting those facing a variety of mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, anger management, burnout, perfectionism, etc.
I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and gender-affirming services to people with diverse backgrounds. My counselling approach is person-centered and strength-based. Please don't hesitate to send me a message and schedule a free consultation session through my booking website (in desktop page on the right). Sending peace, love, and light to you.

We can start with short-term goals. However, many of our current struggles could be related to unresolved trauma, to have a deeper dive and address the root of things, we may use EMDR to work for 8-12 sessions. In each session, I would also guide you through some experiential exercises, which you can continue to practice on your own. We will develop a sustainable self-care plan together.
