We are each on a journey in search of safety, meaning, and fulfillment. Along the way we are constantly exposed to images and ideals of how we are supposed to look, how we are supposed to feel, and how we are supposed to behave. We start to doubt our uniqueness or our worth. I aim to create safe spaces to talk about things that might seem too personal, taboo, shameful, trivial, or embarrassing to share with others in your life. Together we can examine limiting beliefs about yourself, old stories of who you are and how you "should" be in the world, so you can start to live by choice, not by chance.

What I hear most from those who are struggling is that they desperately want change but they cannot see a clear path; they have been dealing with overwhelming symptoms for so long that suffering is part of their routine. Often this daily strain results in unhealthy coping mechanisms that compound the issues and amplify the symptoms. If this sounds like you, please know that you are not alone. Whether your suffering stems from relationship, parenting, interpersonal struggles, or unresolved past trauma, you have the capacity to heal, even when you feel that life is unbearable and change is out of reach.

Starting therapy with someone new can be tough. Finding the right therapist for you can be even tougher. I've worked with clients who have bounced around a lot, who are looking for someone who makes them feel heard, seen, and understood. If you want a safer, inclusive, non-judgmental person to offer some support with your challenges and goals, I'd love to meet you.

I aim to be an unusual therapist. I harness imagination, energy, enthusiasm, poetry, and humour in my effort to understand your story and elevate your voice. Whether you are considering the past, the present, or the future, I believe that therapeutic conversations can expand the options, responses, and actions we have available to us to heal ourselves heart, mind, and spirit. It is a privilege to come alongside you and join you in this journey. I practice the art of paying attention, which means what you say to me and who you are-is extremely important. I will work hard during our time together to listen, to understand, and to help.

I believe people have an inner wisdom that, given the right support, can be accessed in the pursuit of healing. I value collaboration, authenticity, humour, and adventure, all of which I bring to my sessions. I am passionate about helping people heal from trauma and reconnect with life. People often come to me to work on, amongst other things, boundary setting, improving relationships, exploring life and career interests, connecting with values and identities, and feeling more confident managing stress and anxiety. I believe in the value of exploring how our pasts influence us in the present and how we want to move forward.

Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change. I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the simplicity & safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Authenticity, trust & respect are the guiding principles of my trauma-informed, spiritually sensitive and culturally safe practice. Rooted in positive psychology and mindfulness approaches, my counselling sessions integrate several evidence-based therapies including EMDR for trauma, DBT and CBT for anxiety, narrative & rational emotive informed therapies.
