Counsellor

I work alongside youth and adults seeking to process trauma, address their mental health, substance use, as well as other stress-related concerns. My approach is holistic, relational, and person-centred. My practice is grounded in compassion and empathy, with a focus on creating a safe, inclusive environment where you feel seen and empowered.

I am grateful to walk alongside individuals as they navigate challenges, recognizing the complexity and uniqueness of each person’s experiences. By drawing on my experience to foster genuine connections, I aim to build trust and empower individuals to advocate for their own needs. My intention is to make a meaningful difference by partnering with individuals on their journeys toward growth and well-being. I integrate experiential and somatic approaches to help clients achieve body regulation, resolve wounds from overwhelming experiences, and move toward secure attachment. I truly believe that we all have the capacity to heal.

Therapeutic Approaches: I’m trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Lifespan Integration, Motivational Interviewing, Polyvagal and Attachment Theories, and Solution-Focused Therapy. The lenses I work through include Anti-Oppressive Practices, a Relational-Cultural approach, and a Trauma-Informed approach.
