I am passionate about providing client-centered counselling to individuals (14 years+), couples, and the 2SLGBTQ+ community. As a therapist, building an open and trusting relationship with my clients is of utmost importance. Improving your well-being takes courage and hard work, and it is my hope that clients find therapy to be an opportunity for exploring new ways of seeing their life, and a safe space to recover, learn, and grow. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, boundary issues, and stress management. Together we will identify tools to help you through your challenges in a way that is tailored to you.

We can only change unhelpful patterns or address symptoms of a condition, when we see them clearly. If you might be ready to ‘Dig a Little Deeper’, you've come to the right place. Whether you are working on mental health resiliency, or seeking a specific treatment, we offer a compassionate ear, safe space to unpack your story, with your values and evidenced-based strategies, to support your treatment journey. When we Dig Deeper, we make sense of the Why. It's not just about managing triggers - it's about having fewer triggers.

Trauma therapist. Feeling lost? Are you thinking in circles and having a hard time making sense of your feelings? Have you run out of emotional space to put together what you’ve been through? You may not be sure if your experiences “count” as trauma, but you know those experiences are weighing on you. You want to make sense of how you’re feeling and to start to feel like yourself again. Together, let’s develop strategies to help you improve sleep, worry less, and cope better.

For the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of counselling children, youth, adults, couples and families to support overall coping, resiliency, positive change, healing and growth. I have provided counselling in various settings to support clients with issues related to stress, anxiety, anger, depression, sexuality, self-esteem, communication, family and relationship dynamics, as well as traumatic life experiences.

I welcome clients looking for support related to ADHD/neurodivergence (including management, identity, masking, and burnout), anxiety, grief/loss, LGBTQ+ identity, pregnancy, parenting, relationships (dating, partnership, separation), and other life transitions. I delight in working collaboratively with clients in holistic and trauma-informed ways, incorporating humour and mindfulness. I endeavour to be humble, with a decolonized, intersectional and otherwise anti-oppressive stance. I value individual identity and collectivism/community and support diverse genders, ethical nonmonogamy, harm-reduction and various recovery pathways.

I believe in working collaboratively with my clients and tailoring treatment to meet their unique needs. My therapeutic approach is informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. This means helping clients to identify and change negative thought patterns, set achievable goals, and build stronger and more compassionate emotional connections with themselves and others. I also implement a trauma-informed and attachment lens and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

It is my passion to help individuals liberate their energy from the pain of the past, become more resourceful in the present, and move towards their most fulfilling vision for the future. I specialize in treating adults with trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, compassion fatigue, stress, burnout, grief, shame, and anxiety. I offer a holistic approach to psychotherapy integrating EMDR, SE, IFS, NLP, TIME, EFT, RTT, HeartMath, Reiki, Hypnotherapy, Spiritual Psychotherapy, and more. I have extensive training in evidence-based and cutting-edge approaches that allow me to create a customized therapeutic experience for you to awaken the healer within.
