I provide an open, caring environment where all parts of you are welcome. It can be so difficult to navigate all the various challenges thrown at us today, while also striving to discover our most authentic selves. Complicated emotions are part of being human, but so often we isolate ourselves with these emotions out of fear or shame. In our time together, we’ll work to relieve those stuck parts of your experience so that you can move closer to yourself and the ones you love.

My work is trauma-informed and full of empathy. I can use humour when the mood calls for it, and believe that play and creativity are essential ingredients when working toward transformative change. I recognize you as the author of your own life and invite you to collaborate with me as we discover what healing methods work best for you. Together, we will work on developing greater awareness and self-compassion while stoking our imaginations to think of new ways forward.

I am queer, kink and poly friendly, with an interest in alternative relationships and dynamics, and the healing power of learning and expressing one’s needs and desires.

I look forward to working with you as we will find ways to improve your mental health and adjust to challenging life experiences. I provide a welcoming, non-judgmental, and confidential environment for you to discuss and explore your experiences.

I like to use an integrated approach, which allows us to collaborate on what will be most helpful for you and what will suit your needs. My approach includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred, and mindfulness-based practices. I have experience working in stress management, anxiety, depression, communication, and sport. My experiences have taught me that it can be easy to fall into cycles that keep us stuck while our lives continue to move forward. From this, we can utilize your strengths, set goals, and build resiliency to help facilitate healthy mechanisms to break these vicious cycles and develop tools that will help you move forward.

I am in the final stages of completing the Master of Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University. I have a BA in psychology from the University of Manitoba, where I was a student-athlete and Academic All-Canadian. During my time in Manitoba, I also co-facilitated peer-support groups for stress, anxiety, depression, and student-athletes. Working with those who are or were involved in sports is an area that is very close to me and an area I wish to further develop. Specifically, I think the concepts of burnout, stress-management, identity, and transitioning away from sport are very important areas that can be overlooked.

Counselling is more than listening carefully and asking questions that deepen your experience, it is an intentional process where two people have conversations that are unlike any other in life. I work with people of all ages and walks of life, and have specific training to work with youth, young adults, and people just beginning their career, educational, or family paths.

I have been living, working, and raising a family in Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia for over 15 years. I acknowledge that these lands are unceded First Nations territory. For me, the connection between a person’s inner world, interpersonal relationships, and environment is important. Throughout my life I have found that these connections have helped guide my work.
