I practice counselling from a client-centred holistic perspective. Compassion and curiosity are at the forefront of my approach while supporting the strengths of my clients and their innate healing intelligence. Our therapeutic work will be held in a relational/attachment lens that is trauma informed and engaged with the regulation of the nervous system. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC,) I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology, and my practice is also informed by Emotion Focused Therapy, Process Work, Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, nature-based healing, and nutrition.

Hi there!
My approach to counselling is collaborative, experiential, and founded on the understanding that you are the expert in your own life. Our work together will facilitate a deeper level of self-inquiry, create shifts in the stories that do not serve you, explore what gives your life meaning, and develop strategies that empower you to navigate life's challenges.

Welcome! Are you looking for guidance in your journey? Sometimes speaking with someone can help us all achieve some direction, purpose, deeper understanding or simply some grounding. If you're searching for someone that can guide you to a deeper self-discovery, growth or confidence in going against the stereotypical story - you've found me. I am a polyamory/ethical non-monogamy affirming, sex-positive, anti-oppressive counsellor. I am available for individual counselling and safe for queer and trans communities, and my passion is relationship counselling.

My clients want relief from emotional pain and guidance on their journey toward self-improvement. They may have tried self-help strategies, or perhaps even other therapists, but they’re still looking for something deeper and more effective. They want to work with someone who has life experience that truly understands them, someone who can see past surface-level issues and help uncover the deeper, root causes of their struggles. They are motivated by a desire to live authentically, experience healthier relationships, and break free from negative cycles that have held them back in the past.

I am a narrative trained therapist who believes in collaboration, curiosity, and respect. When dilemmas and obstacles grow big enough, they can come to dominate our lives, pulling us towards dark ideas and stories in which we can feel hopeless, lost, scared, and disconnected. It is my aim as a therapist to work with clients to identify the challenges in their lives and explore how to move into more spaces of joy and preferred ways of living.

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationship, struggling to communicate, feeling misunderstood or repeatedly facing the same arguments? You might feel like you're tiptoeing around each other, questioning why intimacy feels distant, or feeling stuck with unmet needs and unresolved conflicts. It’s normal for relationships to go through challenging periods as partners grow and evolve — you’re not alone in feeling this way. These challenges can make you feel isolated—even in the closest of relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to reclaim this connection, fostering growth and healing within your relationship.
