With a childhood spent observing the ins and outs of human behavior, my fascination with psychology sparked at an early age. I am especially drawn to the stories of those who feel disconnected from themselves or others. Most of my clients are navigating trauma, narcissistic abuse, challenging relationships, obstacles to self-care and self-improvement, emotional distress, and substance use. I also work with neurodivergent individuals who identify with ADHD, Autism, HSP, and/or Giftedness.

I offer sessions in person in Squamish BC and virtually to clients throughout BC. I focus primarily on working with young adults, couples, and families.

I utilize a number of different therapeutic modalities, including Solution-Focused, Family Systems, Nature-Based, Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Gottman Method.

I believe that all problems that seem to defy solutions are directly affected – even determined - by how you experience and relate to yourself and others. Exploring the psychological meaning and emotional sense you attach to your specific internal struggles, feelings, and experiences can bring new insights and creative changes to your life. I am deeply committed to facilitating a safe, trusting relationship that can help you heal, grow, and become more fully yourself.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

As a Registered Professional Counsellor and a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling, I look at therapy through a holistic lense, focusing on all aspects of your wellbeing. By tapping into your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, I can help you identify and understand feelings that you may be experiencing. Working together, we will cultivate new tools specific to your nature that you can then put into practice, creating the change you hope to see.

There is always space for self-improvement and growth. It is not always easy to reach out and open your heart and your life to someone. You might be going through tough times, and you might not be able to talk about it with anyone. Depression can take us to dark places and sometimes we might need a bit of a guidance and tools to be able to deal with it and understand it. There might be difficult life transitions that you can come across and you might want your life and your relationships to move to a better place.

I'm not here to instruct you on how to live your life or to criticize the way you already do. I'm here to give you a safe space to express yourself and let go of the burden of having to carry it all alone. You are likely here at this time in your life because you are sick of telling yourself stories that don't suit your best interests or the best version of yourself. Reconnecting with the part of you that knows you deserve to be happy is my aim in helping you. In our work together I will help you get in touch with your own knowing and tap into your strengths.

Do you feel like you cannot express your true self in relationships? People disappointed you in the past and you are very careful in how you show up to others? Or perhaps strong emotions are making it difficult for you to connect to your close ones? If you are currently struggling in your relationship and it feels like you are stuck in a cycle getting nowhere, conversing about it with a trained professional might just be the next step for you. I am certified coach and registered counsellor and I help individuals and couples improve their relationships be it with their partner, family, friends or coworkers.

My goal is to help clients understand what they need and to reduce the stress and anxiety in their lives so they can reach their potential and feel they can manage life in a way that brings them more happiness, awareness and self acceptance.
