Many therapists consider themselves to be just that: therapists. For me, therapy is a form of art. As your therapist, it is my job to guide you toward healing through the art of conversation. My approach to counselling is relational, which means I believe healing takes place through feeling real, human connection. I work with you to explore emotional patterns, thoughts, and feelings, so you can step into the world as your most authentic, peaceful self.

At its core, my therapeutic approach is centered around collaboration, drawing from anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and client-centered frameworks, while highlighting the unique lived experiences each client holds. I work with individuals who may be struggling with experiences of anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, and more. I have a background of supporting and working with neurodivergent individuals and continue to do so in my practice.

As a trauma-informed counsellor, I strive to create safe spaces for clients to reconnect to their inner wisdom. I acknowledge that seeking support requires a lot of courage and vulnerability, and I meet that with compassion and empathy. My work centres on increasing awareness of the body and its relationship to emotional and mental wellness through somatic practices. My approach is informed by my multicultural upbringing and by my lived experiences with immigration, cultural identity exploration, depression, anxiety, and substance use.

As a humanistic therapist, I believe that all people are inherently good and deserving of respect. There is so much stigma and shame in our culture around the very characteristics that make us uniquely human. I'm passionate about helping adults on their journey toward healing after trauma and exploring the intricacies of their identities. With a background in psychology and counseling, I am dedicated to creating a safe and empathic space for self-exploration, growth, and liberation. We could be a good fit to work together if you are looking to connect with your inner wisdom to live an authentic life that aligns with your values.

I am humbled to work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related challenges, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, and worry. Regardless of what led you here, many of my clients seek counselling as a result of being fed up with the way things are. Together we will work to uncover why you feel the way you do, develop tangible strategies to work with rather than against your emotions, and spend time expressing them in ways that will work for you long term.

My career in the realm of psychotherapy started with a few basic goals which are now the roots of my practice: I want my clients to feel safe getting vulnerable. I want you to leave feeling understood and that you have had the time to explore inner conflict keeping you stuck. I want to help you find strength, humour and resiliency, even in these uncertain times. In the very least, we'll have a good chat and you'll leave with a different perspective. In 8 years working in mental health, I have developed a skillset for tackling issues around stress, trauma and attachment, relationships, anger, anxiety, depression and substance use.

Do you feel like you can't have the life you want because you feel numb, using video games, your phone, alcohol, or marijuana to numb yourself, even if you can't quite figure out what feelings or situations you're trying to avoid? Sometimes this leads to the feeling of watching your life go by, or constant low grade irritability that gets in the way of being close to people. Or it ends up coming out as explosive anger, bubbling up even though you've been putting so much work into keeping it down. If this sounds familiar, I want to help you find meaning, connect with others, and when you feel ready, face what you've been avoiding.

I believe that people have the capacity to change, heal, grow, and build a life they are proud of. By creating a confidential and expansive space for you to explore your inner world, your past and your future, my goal is to assist you in creating what you want for yourself and to celebrate your success and joys. You may be looking to calm your anxious mind, work through a past trauma, or learn how to set boundaries. I am especially experienced with burnout and compassion fatigue, chlidhood trauma, grief, and life transitions.
