About Me

Coming from a blended family and having children of my own, I relate to life's complexities and the complicated emotional struggle within. I believe an essential part of living is exploring, being curious, and play even if that is simply laughing.

My Experience

My path into counselling is a deeply personal journey. As someone who continues to navigate the beautiful struggle we call the human experience, I understand firsthand how transformative it can be to have someone in your corner. Those experiences shaped my commitment to mental health and ultimately guided me toward completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. They inform the compassion, patience, curiosity, and non-judgmental presence I bring to my work.

Who I See

I work with youth and adults who are navigating emotional dysregulation, trauma histories, mood-related concerns, identity-based challenges, neurodivergent traits, and the impacts of stigma and shame.

My Practice

My practice emphasizes collaborative treatment planning that respects client autonomy and well-being. I integrate affirming psychoeducation, strength-based interventions, and trauma-informed tools tailored to each client’s needs. I aim to create a therapeutic space that is accessible, compassionate, and rooted in meaningful human connection. My work is guided by the belief that clients do not need to be “fixed”; they deserve to be supported, understood, and empowered.

My counselling approach is grounded in identity/neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and client-centred care. I draw on the humanistic foundations of person-centred practice, integrating collaborative meaning-making with evidence-based modalities such as psychodynamic insight, TF-CBT, DBT skills, narrative therapy, and mindfulness/self-compassion. The goal is to support clients in building self-awareness, agency, and emotional regulation within a safe, validating therapeutic relationship.
