Co-Founder, Registered Psychotherapist

Do you want to make meaningful changes in your life but feel stuck? Perhaps you have difficulty managing emotions or feel overwhelmed with never-ending thoughts. Is substance abuse or other addictions affecting your relationships or career? Maybe you’re feeling isolated, lost, or disconnected in life. Whether you believe you need to create better boundaries, strengthen relationships, heal childhood wounds, or process past trauma, I commend you for starting your journey to healing and change. If this resonates with you, we can start to address these concerns and make collaborative goals. Life doesn’t need to feel so difficult all the time, I would be honoured to support you.

As a client-centered Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I aim to provide high-quality, evidence-based care that is effective and meets your individual needs. I am committed to providing a genuine, inclusive, safe space to explore and deepen understanding, emphasizing empowerment and empathy. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults experiencing relational difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and addictions. I have spent several years practicing counselling in a correctional mental health setting for incarcerated individuals so I can help those affected by the criminal justice system relating to trauma, the effects first responders face, and grief and loss. I am here to promote resiliency and strength.

Are you attempting to make meaningful changes and manage your feelings? Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening, but something doesn’t feel right. Providing an open space for your emotional vulnerability and following you at your pace is the key to the onset of your healing journey. I believe in the innate capacity we all possess to learn, change and grow. In therapy, I foster a space that is welcoming, caring, safe and nonjudgmental, where my clients can be heard and supported. Life is not always easy, and I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I will be with you as you process and heal.

I have experience working with individuals with a variety of mental health-related concerns including, substance abuse, coping skills, relationship difficulties, communication issues, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples.

Super Sleeper

When I’m not working (getting paid in cookies) as a therapy support personnel, I spend my days sleeping in my favourite donut bed. I’m cute but spicy… don’t disrupt my space or sleep!

Compassion Cuddler

I really think I I’m a cat stuck in a dog’s body because all I do is eat, sleep, and beg for my mom’s attention. When I’m not cuddling her, I’m snacking on cucumbers, dried sardines, and barking at strangers (sorry I’m protecting my mom!)

Empathetic Expert

I love meeting new people and animals! I beat to my own drum but I love to give kisses. I’m fiercely loyal to my family, don’t mess with me! I love a good body scratch, playing with my toys and playing with my sister Luna!
