Do you feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, constantly second-guessing yourself or struggling to meet others’ expectations? Perhaps past relationships or ongoing anxiety have left you feeling stuck, unable to trust yourself or move forward with confidence. It can be exhausting and isolating to carry these feelings alone. But there is hope. Healing is possible, and change is within reach. Imagine feeling more at ease in your own skin, setting healthy boundaries without guilt, and rediscovering joy in life’s everyday moments. You don’t have to face this alone—there is a path forward.

Hi and welcome!
I am a queer and nonbinary Registered Clinical Counsellor and settler on Lekwungen Territory and I offer anti-oppressive and evidence-based support for PTSD and complex trauma recovery. I also support Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ experiences, relationships, grief, limiting beliefs, neurodivergence, phobias, addiction, and more.
EMDR therapy is the most efficient route to trauma recovery, plus, you get to choose how much to disclose to me. Together, we can build your confidence to process emotions in an empowering way, connect to your intuition more deeply, and make space for you to live more authentically.

This work is about helping you connect to your self so you can navigate relationships authentically and meet challenges with compassion and courage. If you want to slow down, get curious, and listen deeply, let's connect!
Our internal body wisdom is a source of information that speaks more than words. The patterns we hold and express reveal meaning and share a legacy of past experiences, often persisting long after they appear to support us.
Real change is possible when ALL of you feels safe enough to be seen and supported, just as you are. In the relational space we build together, you will discover what you need to move forward.

Every person - their needs, goals, background and experience - are so uniquely different. I create a safe space for your true self, and offer compassionate, judgement-free support, while I help you navigate your journey. Using an integrated approach, we will work collaboratively to identify what works best, to add valuable tools to your mental health toolbox. I will help you explore your patterns, behaviours and unconscious beliefs, for self-understanding, evolution and empowerment. My approach is warm, positive, empathetic, strengths-based, person-centered, trauma-informed, feminist and intersectionality-aware.
