Are you feeling lonely or disconnected—even when you're technically "connected"? I support individuals who struggle with isolation, social anxiety, or feeling cut off from family, community, and meaningful relationships. Whether you work remotely, find social situations overwhelming, or mostly interact online, you’re not alone. Together, we can explore the patterns that keep you stuck and build the confidence and skills to form authentic, supportive connections that nurture your wellbeing.

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.

Accepting Virtual Clients for counselling and clinical supervision- I work with adults and young people who are struggling with transitions, coping, relationships, grief, mental health or other concerns they'd like to talk over with someone they can feel supported by and who can help them build their toolbox for navigating their concerns. I also provide clinical supervision with practicum students and counsellors building their counselling practice.

With a childhood spent observing the ins and outs of human behavior, my fascination with psychology sparked at an early age. Most of my clients are dealing with trauma, narcissistic abuse, challenging relationships, substance use, workplace difficulties, and emotional distress. I also work with individuals with neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, and giftedness) and personality disorders (narcissism, borderline, and antisocial).

It takes courage to seek and begin therapy, and I value and respect that. I am passionate about working with all people, however they choose to identify themselves. I work with adults, young to old. I consider each individual as a "world unto themself"; I work with your goals, your spark, your way. My goal is to help you find the tools to move towards what you most want. I'm on your side. I draw from therapies such as solution focused, trauma based, CBT and ACT. Possibility lies in the present - what we do, how we choose to act, alone and with others - this is the arena of change.

Hi and welcome! I appreciate that it takes courage and strength to start this process. Sometimes, we need help to work through issues. You don't have to deal with your struggles, questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and all of life’s other servings alone. In a non-judgmental, confidential and safe space, shifts can begin to take place. I utilize various modalities, but always come from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and compassion focused lens. I believe in the strength and resilience in every person, and that includes you! Your story matters. You matter…and you deserve healing and happiness. CVAP approved.

Together, we will navigate your unique journey with empathy, sensitivity and understanding.

Tired of having to explain your culture/religion/family dynamic to a counsellor? You're in the right place. As a multicultural therapist I offer a unique lens into understanding your life and the role your people, culture and faith play in it. Many therapists consider themselves to be just that: therapists. For me, therapy is a form of art. I believe healing takes place through feeling real, human connection, which means taking time to build an authentic, trusting relationship with each other. I work with you to explore emotional patterns, thoughts, and feelings so you can step into the world as your most authentic, peaceful self.

Are you feeling stuck between where you are and where you want to be? Whether you're dealing with career challenges, anxiety and depression, trauma, chronic illness or pain, or navigating relationship difficulties, that sense of uncertainty can be overwhelming. You might be pushing through your career or university life while carrying a weight of expectations from yourself, family, or society. Perhaps you're struggling with burnout, managing life transitions, or making important personal and professional decisions. The weight of managing all this alone can feel overwhelming.

Life is challenging and difficult at times. It can create distress that affects every part of who we are: our thoughts, feelings, physical well-being and spirit, upsetting our ability to be effective with ourselves, others and manage the demands of our daily life.

I work to understand the world from your point of view and help you gain a sense of balance and confidence to make positive changes in your life.

Do you struggle with obsessive thinking that affects your day-to-day life or even your relationships? Do you feel emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed by just trying to get through the day?
