If you are feeling stuck - consumed by stress, anxiety or feeling like you are headed towards burnout or have reached it - my counselling practice is centred on supporting young adults, primarily 19-40 on concerns related to this phase of life such as work/school stress, life transitions, re-evaluating life goals, and coping with the impacts of a cultural climate enmeshed with social media, toxic substances, hectic lifestyles and burnout. My passion centres on preventing or reducing the impacts of stress or emotional pain on ones mental, emotional, and physical health so you can sustain a healthy, value-driven life.

I cherish building relationships that create unique opportunities for personal reflection, growth, and meaningful change. I admire the courage of those seeking help and I firmly believe that healing begins with a strong, supportive relationship and a focus on nurturing inherent strengths. I am committed to walking alongside those who are suffering, offering a compassionate listening ear, and accompanying them on their journey toward healing. I believe in helping individuals build readiness for change and facilitating the change process in ways that honour their life goals and priorities.

Do you feel stuck in which direction to take in life? As if you're lost in a forest. Confused about what to do or where to go to find relief. Maybe you've felt like something in your life has been off, and you want to seek clarity to gain insight into some of your life experiences. The unsettling question, which seems easier at times to tuck away for later, tugs at your heart and mind, "What's happening to me?" Wow, the fact that you are allowing space for these unsettling wonderments takes courage.

My ideal client is someone who has struggled to feel comfortable in their own skin. Someone who has a history of beating themselves up because they cannot live up to their own or others' expectations. I often work with clients who want to learn how to better process their emotions and understand why they do what they do. Many clients have a history of anxiety, depression, or trauma. Whether it's due to harm caused by others, body shame, chronic illness, ADHD, ASD, or anything else, we will work to understand where these thoughts and feelings come from to allow for healing and change.

I advocate on how creative expressions provide insight opportunities in exploration and identification into one’s underlying causations within their behaviors and perspectives. Furthermore, I believe the innate emotional therapy, comes from the “process-making”, of one's creative expression, and not as much - from the aethestic, of one's end result the piece.

When I reached out to a counsellor for the first time, I felt stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, and utterly exhausted. I was struggling to move forward. It took a couple of tries to find the right fit, but when I did, it was feeling truly seen, understood, and trusted that helped me develop the self-understanding and insight to navigate those next steps. My purpose as a counsellor is to support clients as they develop a sense of clarity, authenticity, and ownership on their unique path, whatever that may be, so they can experience a more fulfilling life and come to a place of greater peace within themselves.

People often have creative ways of distancing themselves from uncomfortable and painful emotions and experiences. You might find yourself coping by burying them away, keeping yourself endlessly busy and distracted, or saying, I’m okay, I’m just fine. But as these unprocessed things build, you may have an unsettled or anxious feeling, feel that you are not yourself, or experience emotional explosions that confuse or overwhelm yourself or others. You may come to a place where you feel helpless, trapped, or depressed.

I hold the belief that humans are naturally wired to heal. Throughout our lives, we may find ourselves overwhelmed with external circumstances and internal emotional states that pull us away from living a rich, values-based life. My goal is to create a collaborative environment and pull on the body's natural healing tendencies to build a relationship with the Self. I primarily work with clients on concerns related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, boundaries, stress, intersecting identities, and life transitions. I am committed to using a person-centered, holistic, and culturally-responsive approach.

As a counsellor, I am dedicated to empowering my clients to recognize and utilize their inner strengths and help them develop effective coping strategies. Through this process, individuals can gain a deeper insight into themselves and their experiences, leading to personal growth and positive change. This means that my counselling is not just about addressing immediate issues but about fostering long-term personal growth and positive change. I have experience working with children, youth and adults, supporting children with ADHD, autism and other developmental disabilities.

Every one of us develops core beliefs as we grow and start seeing the world accordingly. In this situation, we all become experts of our own lives. At the same time, we do not realize when we develop false beliefs that start impacting our mental health over all. Some may feel helpless, hopeless, and worthless because of those false beliefs. My role as a counsellor is to help those clients understand their core beliefs and replace false beliefs and negative thoughts with positive beliefs and thoughts.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor who is fascinated by the human experience, and by how much transformative healing can happen within a safe and trusting connection. I bring kindness and curiosity to my work, and know we all have an innate ability to heal and connect more deeply to the self and others. I support individuals with issues relating to religious/ spiritual trauma, regulating emotions, communicating more effectively, LGBTQIA+ and changes/adjustments in adolescence and early adulthood. I also have experience supporting other counsellors.

My passion for counselling came from both personal and professional experience in asking for support and supporting others. I believe connection to others, along with a safe non-judgemental space to be heard can allow us to begin the journey in growth, healing and self exploration. I believe all our emotions, behaviours, and thoughts serve a purpose – even those we perceive as negative- and that by understanding that purpose, we can better understand ourselves and our relationships.
