My sessions are a collaborative exploration that toggles between our many relationships; to self, to others, and to our world. I believe we heal through relationships as social animals, and that ALL our behaviors are adaptive and intelligent strategies that keep us safe, even if we may hold judgements towards them. I believe that in acknowledging and befriending our many parts, we can find empowerment through self-leadership. I invite your irreverent humor, sarcasm, and saltiness to session. Authenticity is one of my tightest-held values, and you will receive the same from me, along with compassion and curiosity. Above all I value autonomy, and I trust you to know what is best for you. My goal as a counselor is to companion you through dark woods as a lantern, but ultimately you hold the map and have all the internal wisdom you need to decipher it.

I am a newcomer to Canada, and my body is white, cis, smallfat, and (temporarily) able. I hold my own history of trauma and grief, and am currently exploring my neurodiversity & sexuality. Because of the power I hold, not only as a therapist, but also because of many of my dominant identities, I will always work towards undermining hierarchy and interrupting internalized messages. I believe in working towards a world where all bodies are free from oppression, and I believe that this is a task of maintenance, not competency - something we must continue to return to, again and again. I am rooted in the framework of body liberation which celebrates body diversity, self-trust, rest, and pleasure, while acknowledging the primary role of white supremacy, ableism, and capitalism in perpetuating the definition and ongoing oppression of othered bodies. I am an existential agnostic. I believe that making our own meaning and defining life on our own terms is an important part of retaining power in a world that often feels chaotic, absurd, and violent. I support clients in creating or connecting to meaning, ritual, and myth in a modern world, as well as the expansive and transformative power of personal and collective grief.

As a human outside the therapy room I am a lover of poetry, the forest floor, defiant hope, tarot cards, playing Skyrim every winter, tasting all of life’s novelty, and my dog Oberon.

Navigating the complexities of life can often make the world seem unforgiving and overwhelming. In the face of unexpected challenges, it’s natural to question our purpose and wonder where we’ll find the strength to move forward. My intention is to hold space and embrace the feelings of uncertainty together. Collaboratively, we can unravel the past, navigate the nuances of the present, and chart a course toward a purposeful future.

My journey into counselling was sparked by witnessing friends, as early as age 12, grapple with mental health challenges during formative years. Curious about the profound connection between the mind and our well-being, I pursued an undergraduate degree in Behavioural Neuroscience. Through my own struggles, I further discovered the transformative power of counselling — the ability to uplift through active listening and unwavering support. Building on this foundation, I earned my Masters in Counselling Psychology with a concentration in Children and Youth.

I am passionate about working with children, youth, young adults, parents, and those wanting to connect with their younger selves. I have over a decade of experience working with children and youth and seven years in the mental health field. My clinical experience includes working with trauma as well as substance use and addiction. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based, centering around creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore, express and heal. I draw extensively from Attachment and Adlerian Theories, which emphasize the relationships in our lives, including those of the past and within the larger systems of society. I also integrate modalities from Somatic, Art, and Cognitive Therapies.

Further, I identify as a young-ish, cisgender, heterosexual, straight-sized, able-bodied, female. I am of European descent, and grew up middle class in a semi-rural area of BC. I believe it is crucial to name my intersectionalities as these undoubtedly have played a role in my lived experience and will play a role in the therapeutic relationship and addressing concerns of diversity, inclusion, and privilege. I believe examining how intersecting identities play a role in our lives and our lived experiences in society is essential. As such, I proudly stand as an advocate and ally for the BIPOC, 2SLGBQ2+, and Neurodivergent communities.

My goal is to support you through life challenges towards your path to healing and growth. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where we can explore these hardships together, while fostering a warm and genuine connection. I am passionate about helping you find your strength and resilience.

My interested in mental health first peaked when I was working in a pharmacy at the age of 15, where I was able to witness the effects of mental illness. It fostered my passion for helping individuals, specifically with addiction. I then decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in Psychology, following my Masters in Counselling Psychology.

I have experience working in shelters that support women who are experiencing mental health concerns, homelessness, and those who are navigating the criminal justice system. That role has further taught me the value of having a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive space. My passion lies through a trauma-informed approach, while blending elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, emotion focused, IFS, mindfulness, and solution focused therapy. We will work collaboratively to find an approach that best suits your needs.

Congratulations! It takes courage to allow yourself to take on your life’s challenges and fears.

I am passionate about your healing process. At the beginning of our session, we explore what challenges and uncertainties are preventing you from living the life you want and desire. Next, we take a self-discovery journey, learning new ways to achieve relief from past negative experiences; and gaining healing insights and personal growth.

I see you as the expert in your life and will meet you where you are at. You do have all the answers within you; my role is to tap into your hidden resources and find your answers to claim and use immediately. In doing so, you will gain freedom, success and joy in your life.

I use a strengths-based and solution-focused approach. By releasing and resolving areas of emotional charge you will increase your self-esteem and self-empowerment and develop positive insights and strategies for a healthier and happier lifestyle.

I provide an inviting, safe environment for the inclusivity of all people and communities. I have a respectful and non-judgmental approach and at times a sense of humour. I provide counselling and coaching to youth, couples, families and individuals working to resolve their conflicts and traumas.

In my life struggles, I found relief through counselling to explore, express and heal my wounds. That has led me to live a life that I didn’t believe was possible. I would love to assist you in doing the same.
