Hello! I'm so glad you're here! As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in B.C., I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. I believe that mental health challenges can be valuable opportunities to explore your unique life story and develop skills to thrive. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we can explore effective ways to overcome obstacles and improve your well-being.

I am a trauma-, neuro-, and polyvagal-informed therapist who believes creating safety is the most important foundation in therapy. I have formal trainings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindful Based-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MB-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
You don't have to go through this alone. I'm here to listen and support you every step of the way. Let's work together to find the path forward. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to connecting with you. You can also follow me on social media for mental health tips and education.
