I have an innate desire to help others because I know firsthand how detrimental poor mental health can be when left untreated. Navigating through life is extremely difficult when you lack the proper tools to help guide you. Being uncertain on how to move forward can lead to feelings of inadequacy as you underestimate your ability to cope.
I have an innate desire to help others because I know firsthand how detrimental poor mental health can be when left untreated. Navigating through life is extremely difficult when you lack the proper tools to help guide you. Being uncertain on how to move forward can lead to feelings of inadequacy as you underestimate your ability to cope.
Working with me will involve building new relationships with your experiences and how you process them. I will invite you to remain curious as I provide a safe space where exploration can occur organically and free of judgement. You are the expert of your own life, and I am merely the facilitator of new possibilities.
My wish for you is that you learn how to build a healthier relationship with yourself; a relationship which is grounded in trust and confidence. As you exercise your ability to choose, you will see how much power you hold. Learning how to process uncomfortable emotions will allow your inner healer to grow. Avoidant behaviour will provide temporary relief; however, your inner healer has the potential to create lasting change you can be proud of.

I believe that my education allows me to bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. I have been equipped with skills to assist individuals in overcoming trauma or challenging life experiences that disrupt their daily functioning and relationships. I firmly believe in the power of human connection to dismantle barriers and facilitate problem-solving.
In my therapeutic approach, I prioritize creating a non-judgmental and secure environment where clients feel empowered to explore their concerns openly. Together, we navigate through obstacles, fostering growth and healing.
My professional journey has involved supporting youth and adults grappling with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, surviving abuse, oppression, and trauma, across diverse cultural backgrounds. I am well-versed in employing evidence-based techniques tailored to each individual's needs.
Furthermore, my personal experiences have deepened my understanding of injury and disability culture, enhancing my ability to relate to clients facing similar challenges. In essence, I am committed to providing compassionate and effective counselling that honours each person's unique journey towards wellness.
