“Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.” – Brené Brown

Many people begin therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer feel manageable. My goal is to help you gently untangle those experiences so you can reconnect with your authentic Self—the part of you that holds clarity, resilience, compassion, and confidence. Through therapy, we create space for healing, self-acceptance, emotional regulation, and deeper self-understanding.

As a counsellor specializing in IFS therapy (Internal Family Systems), EMDR therapy, trauma therapy, and PTSD counselling, I support adults, couples, teens, and youth navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, burnout, and major life transitions. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, I help clients better understand their inner world, build trust with protective parts, and safely process painful experiences that may be contributing to emotional distress, disconnection, or feeling stuck.

My work integrates evidence-based approaches including EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to support nervous system regulation, trauma healing, emotional resilience, and long-term growth. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, PTSD symptoms, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, or overwhelming life stress, therapy can help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered.

I am passionate about meeting clients exactly where they are and creating a counselling space rooted in safety, trust, authenticity, and non-judgment. I believe healing happens within supportive relationships, and my priority is helping clients feel seen, understood, and accepted throughout the therapeutic process.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in after-school programs and supervised youth initiatives within underserved communities, experiences that deepened my understanding of emotional wellbeing, connection, and the importance of accessible mental health support. Later, while working in the cannabis industry, I witnessed firsthand the growing need for stigma-free counselling and trauma-informed care. This inspired me to pursue counselling full-time and dedicate my work to supporting individuals and families in meaningful, lasting ways.

Outside the therapy room, I’m a mother, wife, and someone who finds grounding in nature and the outdoors. These experiences continue to shape the values I bring into counselling: compassion, balance, presence, and genuine human connection.

If you are looking for support with trauma therapy, EMDR, IFS therapy, anxiety counselling, or PTSD treatment, I am here to help you move toward healing, clarity, self-trust, and meaningful change. Whether you are beginning therapy for the first time or returning to continue your healing journey, you do not have to navigate it alone.
