Online Counselling for Yukon

I WELCOME ALL OF YOU who are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find fulfillment, meaning, new skills and appreciation. I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health. Similarly, we need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings. I look forward to meeting you in person or at a distance.

Creating more space for wellness and healing in our lives can feel overwhelming, but I am here to support you on the journey to creating a life that fulfills you. Genuine, warm and safe relationships between client and counsellor are the foundation of effective counselling. This is why I prioritize collaborative relationships that recognize you as the expert on yourself, and focus on your goals and needs. My approach to counselling is holistic, person-centred and integrates cognitive behavioural, solution-focused, and attachment-informed approaches. I also provide EMDR. I strive to work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with complex needs involving addictions, mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and who have exhibited personality features such as borderline, or antisocial behaviours. I have worked with individuals with impulse dyscontrol, and other symptoms of executive function disinhibition. I like to work with individuals from a holistic perspective utilizing systems theory analyses; somatosensory, individual, family, community, society, and culture. If your are looking to make long-lasting, positive changes to your way of being in the world I can help you get there...

Do you miss the connection and friendship you once had with your partner? Are you tired of feeling anxious, angry or tired all the time? You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck because you think you’ve tried everything, but nothing sticks. Do the overwhelming feelings cause you to shut down because you don't know where to start? You want change, but bringing a therapist into the fold makes you uneasy as you may have learned that therapy lacks real connection. If REAL connection matters to you, I’m your human. I want to help you to achieve the life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible.

Hello ~ I'm currently working in Whitehorse and the surrounding communities. As a registered counsellor, I provide private & professional emotional wellness services for all ages, cultural backgrounds and individual challenges. Your overall mental wellness influences: how you think, how you feel, and how you behave in daily life. It also greatly impacts your ability to cope with stress, overcome personal challenges, build relationships as well as recover from life's setbacks and hardships.

My ideal client is that individual who has experienced trauma in their life, be it violence, loss of a loved one, divorce or separation or death of a loved one. They feel lost and do not know how or where to begin from in the reconstruction of their lives. They so desire to live a normal life but their trauma does not permit them. They want to be free and pick up their lives from where they got off track.

I come from a background in Creative Writing where I enjoyed exploring people and their stories. I see my transition into counselling as a continuation of this work; helping clients to explore their own stories and the stories we tell as a culture. I work from a generalist counselling perspective, meaning I do not have a specific focus in my work and aim to meet my clients where they're at. That said, I have a particular interest in helping individuals navigate relationships, sexuality, and life transitions.

I have experience working with trauma & PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, attachment and depression and have worked with clients of all backgrounds. I provide an open, safe, and welcoming space and prioritize the very important relationship between client and counsellor, working in a deeply meaningful and impactful way.

Does life feel so demanding you can’t do it anymore? Do you struggle to say no, set boundaries, or have too few moments when you feel ‘ok?’ Has your substance use been getting out of hand? You may be doing your best to cope, but just coping is not enough.

My theoretical orientation and clinical approach is a client-centred, strengths-based integrated cognitive behavioral therapist incorporating positive psychology with an existential and humanistic lens. I believe that everyone is resilient and has the ability to make positive changes in their lives and the lives of others. I worked for ten years with marginalized individuals involved with the justice system who have experienced trauma, loss, crisis, addictions, sexual abuse, and violence. I work from a multicultural social justice lens with children, youth, adult individuals, family and couples.

I work with adults and teenagers experiencing depression and anxiety. I also work with people experiencing trauma, spiritual crisis, relationship issues, loneliness, problems due to medication, and stress in many forms. A block of time in my practice is kept open daily for those in crisis, who cannot find adequate support through the public system. I also work with couples wishing to heal relational concerns, and those with an inclination towards spiritual practice/life. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome people from all faith backgrounds and walks of life. Sessions are available in-person, by email, and via video.

I have experience and training working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), grief and loss, and a variety of other presenting session topics. As a generalist counsellor I have skills and abilities to work with whomever comes in the door.

We cannot always control what happens, but we do control our mindset and response. Grounded in existential philosophy and a holistic focus on wellness, my main intention is to provide you with a non-judgmental, consistent, strength-based approach. In couples counselling, we focus on your friendship, ability to love and connect, as well as manage conflict with mutual respect and communication skills.

I am an integrated therapist based in Whitehorse. Through my work with suicide education I've been fortunate to travel throughout Yukon Territory, and have provided services to nearly all of the communities. I have experience working with teenagers, adults, elders, families, and couples - all folks who are looking to improve their mental wellness and make positive changes. I want clients to have success in therapy and believe while people can be guided to new strategies and ways of approaching challenges, each person is ultimately an expert on what will help them succeed.

Welcome to my therapy practice, I am a dedicated therapist with a diverse educational background and extensive experience working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. My journey as a therapist has been shaped by a deep motivation to help people, and I am committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for healing and growth. My passion is working with Indigenous communities, and I have had the privilege of working extensively with Yukon First Nation communities, where I have learned to develop culturally sensitive approaches to healing, particularly in the areas of addictions, trauma, intergenerational trauma, & PTSD.
