I’m a Master’s-level intern with three years of community-based counselling experience, offering individual therapy for adults age 18+.

My therapeutic approach is shaped by a decade working as a funeral director, supporting people in acute grief, and undergraduate education in both philosophy and justice studies.

I have worked with people navigating trauma, substance use, and systemic harm, and have a wealth of diverse life experience that informs my understanding of human complexity.

I work from a client-centred, anti-oppressive lens grounded in existential, acceptance-based, parts-work, and narrative therapies.

I strive to offer a welcoming space for people of all identities and backgrounds, including those navigating marginalization, unconventional paths, or complex relationships with self and society.

I care about how your relationship with yourself was shaped, what burdens or beliefs have complicated it, and how it might shift to improve your quality of life.

I’m not here to fix you; I’m here to witness and reflect, to challenge when needed, to help uncover your own insights, and to walk beside you with authenticity and care.

Clients often tell me I help them make sense of what feels overwhelming: exploring patterns, pulling threads together, and distilling complexity into something they can work with.

I believe that a compassionate presence can be healing, and I take seriously the privilege of being let into someone’s world.

If you’re wrestling with something that feels heavy, isolating, or hard to name, you’re not alone.

You’re not too much. And you’re certainly not broken.

It is human to struggle, and it is human to seek connection through that struggle.

I believe we each carry something wise and life-affirming inside us, something that keeps reaching for the light. I would love to help you reclaim your invincible summer.

The most effective piece to the counselling relationship is the rapport between you and your counsellor.

I believe that healing takes place within the context of a collaborative relationship and therefore, above all, I seek to connect with my clients in a way that creates a safe and non-judgemental space.

It is always my hope that the conversations we have will bring clarity in a way that helps you make sense of the patterns and interactions in your life.

I feel strongly that change happens when you decide that certain things in your life are no longer serving you.

My question is: “How do you know you want a better life?” or “What keeps hope alive for you?”

My background in Nursing has emphasized how the intersections between a person’s emotional, physical and spiritual health are factors in overall well-being and health.

I continue to engage in ongoing professional development, training and supervision. This has equipped me to feel comfortable engaging with various therapeutic modalities that address a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions and relationship counselling.
