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.

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

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.
