Are you ready to embark on a journey towards healing and self-discovery? As a proud Métis citizen, I am deeply committed to creating culturally sensitive mental health treatments to all individuals. My approach is rooted in understanding the mental health challenges they may face, while also honoring the strengths inherent in their cultural heritage.

Together, we will embrace a person-centered and strength-based approach, guiding you towards growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

It can feel overwhelming when you are someone who is usually content and productive in life and find yourself struggling to get out of bed, leave the house, or be in relationship with others. It is important to know that we all struggle with our mental health at some point in our lives and it can be difficult to take the first step and seek help. If you are ready, our work together will be to build on your strengths and develop the insights, knowledge, and skills necessary to get relief from your suffering.

Hello! I'm glad you stopped by, because I know that seeking out help during difficult times can be intimidating. Right off the bat, I want to let you know that I would love to meet with you and talk about what you're going through. My goal is to provide a warm environment where we can work together on your goals. Ideally, you would come with a willingness to share about what's bothering you, and an openness to trying some new things.

I am a seasoned therapist who is able to draw from a variety of modalities depending on what comes up for the client.

Accepting new clients for online therapy! Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it. They try to help and probably mean well, but sometimes the dismissive way they say things makes you feel worse. You try to hide your symptoms to seem “normal” but inside, you feel like you might break.

I specialize in career counselling, career testing, and education planning. These areas can help you discover your identity and a path best suited for you.
