I feel incredibly grateful to be able to sit with individuals and support them in some of the hardest times of their lives. I bring a compassionate, calm and non-judgemental energy to every session, ensuring that you feel safe and heard. I always welcome the difficult conversations, as I know this is where healing happens. My style of therapy is relaxed, compassionate, and responsive to each person’s unique needs. With a strengths-based, real-life, and collaborative approach, I work to provide emotional support and guidance to adults and young adults challenged by the many adjustments to life transitions.
My 20+ years of diverse social-justice counselling experience have helped others to cope with grief, illness, trauma, and the many forms of anxiety and sadness that can result from these changing life circumstances. I embrace the practice of mindfulness and gratitude and the value of finding meaning and purpose in each of our lives, every day.
I strive to empower my clients to create space, balance, and strength to process their own needs and move toward their own personal purpose. Additional areas of professional experience and interest include addictions, birth, parenting, indigenous and 2slgbtquia+ populations.

I appreciate the role of ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) in personal healing, grief and letting go. Keeping the client at the center of care, I also often draw from CBT & DBT in my practice to work with you through the change process. I also practice Brainspotting for anyone searching for a shift in both mind and body around any given issue causing distress.
