Life isn’t always hard, but when things get challenging, when feelings of anxiousness and despair seem overwhelming, seeing a counsellor can help. Having a place to say it all out loud can be the gateway to better emotional and mental health. Sorting through and dealing with issues of anger, abandonment, fear, trauma and hopelessness can help you restore balance in your life. We can work together to find your way forward.

Many people describe a feeling of being stuck in their lives. Limiting subconscious core beliefs and habitual thinking are what holds most back from living the life they want. Whether personal or business, I can help you to make the positive changes in yourself so that you can be free and move forward, whether that means stopping a destructive habit, or charting a new course in life.

Are you feeling rather lost or overwhelmed? Daily life has become chaotic, stressful, and difficult to balance? As a Heart-Centred Professional Counsellor, I help adults and and guide children in navigating challenging transitions, overwhelming (perhaps buried) emotions, stress, and anxiety. I invite you to a sacred space where you can completely unwind, re-discover, and open to a deeper sense of connection, peace, and love from the most important relationship you have - your SELF. I aim to guide you on a co-creative journey of self-leadership through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Awareness development.

I draw on the commonalities that exist between counselling approaches, and am aligned with anti-oppression perspectives. Through a combination of deeply introspective, pragmatic, and somatic practices, I help clients find greater self-compassion, security in their relationships, and grow towards deeper purpose and fulfillment in their lives. I'm a good fit for working through issues related to queerness, addiction, loss, shame, or physical health. If you have little or no coverage, I am confident that we can make something work.

In my work with teens, I use a holistic, mindful approach, offering them tools and guidance. Through exploring their life experiences, values and unique strengths, teens develop self-awareness, confidence and self-regulation.

My work as a therapist is grounded by my belief in the inherent dignity of all people, the wisdom of our bodies, and our innate capacity to heal. I often work with people who might want to believe these things, too, but struggle to find hope after experiences of trauma or distress.

As a queer and non-binary therapist, I have a special place in my heart for queer and trans clients. I aim to offer a counselling experience that is safe and that does not require you to justify or explain your identity.
