I have a Master’s Degree in social work and have been working in the mental health field for 15 years. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and youth, and have had the privilege of supporting diverse clients, including those wanting faith-based counselling or having religious trauma, LGBTQ2+ folks and Indigenous peoples. Before moving into private practice, I gained experience in a variety of areas, including: • Health care • Indigenous-specific services • Federal Corrections (CSC) • Mental health • Psychiatric care • Trauma treatment and 1-to-1 counselling • Substance use • Harm reduction • Street outreach
My passion is helping clients process and heal trauma in a safe and supportive environment using an attachment-focused, trauma-informed lens. I believe our brains and bodies are the key to healing—and that through evidence-based trauma approaches such as EMDR and Brainspotting, people can reduce symptoms, reclaim resilience, and move toward wellness.
Life can be difficult to navigate during the best of times and having a professional, caring counsellor walk along side you during your most challenging moments will empower you to find your strengths no matter your issue. I strive to support you, exactly where you are at, seeking to help you find a sense of calm, healing and hope within your life.
