Something happened that changed everything. Maybe you lost a spouse or child. Maybe trauma has quietly restructured how you move through the world. Maybe you've been carrying an invisible weight for so long that you've forgotten what it felt like to set it down. You're not broken. You're responding to real loss, real harm, and real exhaustion in a world that rarely makes space for any of it. As a bereaved parent who trains healthcare teams on pregnancy and infant loss, I have a deep understanding of grief and healing after trauma as well as a unique perspective on contributors to burnout.
Healing doesn't have to mean moving on, forgetting, or pulling yourself up by the boot straps. It can mean having your pain met honestly, your nervous system supported with care, and your grief treated as something tender to be lived with gracefully rather than solved. Whether you're navigating profound loss, trauma or burnout, you deserve support.
I'm a counsellor and educator specializing in perinatal loss, trauma, complicated grief, and burnout. I work with individuals across BC ( coaching worldwide) who are ready to stop surviving and start rebuilding something meaningful. My anti-oppressive approach integrates nervous system healing, parts work, somatic practices, and existential meaning-making.

I use an integrative approach that draws from humanistic, strength based and existential theories. I believe in a holistic, non pathologizing approach to mental health that considers the context of each individual. I teach nervous system healing through somatic & polyvagal modalities and consider myself a feminist and anti-oppressive therapist. We are all on this journey together!
