Languages: English

I believe in empowering people and helping them harness their strengths, whilst finding ways to promote desired growth and change. I bring a warm, holistic, client-centered approach to every session and I am passionate about providing a safe, inclusive, non-judgemental space, so that clients can start to unpack everything heavy they’ve been carrying!

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Registered Social Worker; my education includes a Masters of Social Work from UBCO, and a BSc in Psychology from Queen’s University. I have received advanced education and training in the fields of biology, physical health, education, nature-based therapy, outdoor adventure therapy, play therapy, family systems theory, and yoga.

I have worked with many diverse individuals, families, and groups over the last 6 years to help them address challenges around emotions, mood, behaviour, and relationships (with themselves and with others). Often individuals or families need more support during times of big transitions in life including: moving, new job, new family member, marriage, divorce, retirement, graduation, illness, trauma, or loss.

It’s important to build trust and safety in a counselling relationship so I would like to know what brings you or your family into counseling, and what you’re hoping to achieve so we can build an individualized plan together!

Have you noticed changes in your self-image, mood, health, habits, and relationships?

Do you feel stressed out, burntout, exhausted, numb, or irritable?

Do you struggle with feeling emotionally overwhelmed or out of control?

Do you feel isolated, or at a distance from loved ones and old hobbies?

Do you feel like you’re struggling to get what you want/need? Don’t feel heard or supported?

Do you feel lost, or stuck in the same patterns, despite having good self awareness?

Are you wondering why it’s so hard to make the changes you want?

Are you or your family experiencing big changes, stressors, or transitions in life?

Are you worried about your child or teenager? Have you noticed changes in their behavior or relationships?

Do you have general questions? Want to see if I’m the right fit for you or your family?
