The experience I bring to counselling is rooted in my longtime quest for personal well-being. I know what it’s like to encounter obstacles, to feel stuck— at times very stuck— and to work through it, with all the frustrations and surprises that might bring. My training as a Doula is expressed in the counselling space as a deep knowing that each and every one of us can birth the transformation we desire. With intention, wisely chosen resources, and support, what you dream is possible to bring about.

My many and varied studies include Thai massage, Ayurvedic medicine, and Chinese medicine. These have all taught me the importance of the mind-body connection, which is continually present in my conversations with clients. Weaving, textile arts, and creative practice in the healing craft are an important part of my life and provide a tactile metaphor for the work of creation and transformation.

At the heart of the conversation are the meaning and purpose you find. I believe in every human’s innate resilience, and I will be honored to walk alongside you as you discover your next steps.

Helping people feel empowered through emotional healing is my passion. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I work with individuals and with couples/relationships. My intention is to help you— or you and your partner— find the inner strength and resilience that is already there, within you and between you.

With empathy, understanding, and non-judgment, I will guide and support while you explore your experience. Whether it be anxiety, pain, trauma, relationship challenges, or any other ailment of the mind or spirit, you will have a companion and witness for it. Cultivating compassion for yourself and others may also be part of the path as you navigate your inner world and personal narratives in order to bring about greater peace, joy, and health.

I believe in personal autonomy. Your right to choose and direct your care is vitally important. My aim is to follow your lead as you show up for yourself and this journey. Together, we can work on skills, tools, and strategies that will help guide you through difficult situations and life challenges. My particular interests include, but are not limited to: reproductive mental health, somatic work, intergenerational trauma, couples counselling, and healing PTSD in individuals and families.

You are a creative being. My aim is to help you connect deeply with those parts of yourself that know what you need, how to unravel whatever is no longer serving you well, and how to make something new— for yourself and in your relationships.
