Life often does not go according to plan and sometimes we need support navigating its challenges. I am passionate about supporting others in living their best quality of life possible. I believe this is best done by creating and holding a safe, non-judgmental space to support self-awareness, curiosity, expression, and change. I believe that each individual has a unique life experience and that you are the expert on your life. I view my role as a counsellor as a supportive guide and ally on whatever journey you happen to be on. I offer an empathetic, inclusive, integrated and collaborative approach.

Have you been moving through life on autopilot—taking care of everyone else while feeling disconnected from yourself? Maybe you’ve lost your voice in the chaos of burnout, overwhelming life experiences, or unhealthy relationship dynamics. I help people come back home to themselves. My approach is body-based, integrative, and real. Together, we’ll slow down, notice what your body is holding, and begin to process the emotions and patterns that no longer serve you. I pay close attention to the edges of your capacity and the balance between protecting yourself and stepping into courageous vulnerability.

Are you holding everything together on the outside, but inside you feel like you're unraveling?
You may be the one everyone counts on — the caregiver, the achiever, the one who keeps the family, the team, or the relationship afloat. But lately, you’re exhausted. You find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, or just plain stuck. Maybe you’re grieving, wrestling with old wounds, or trying to manage the weight of being “strong” for too long. You want to feel more connected, more in control, and more like yourself again.
I offer a grounded, compassionate space to explore what’s underneath your struggles to better understand you.
