I believe in therapy’s power and transformative experience to explore our deepest feelings and vulnerabilities to gain clarity on our needs to achieve balance in our lives. We all experience events, relationships, or times in our lives that can be difficult, unexpected and completely different than we may have planned. I believe that through these challenging times, we can also experience incredible personal growth when we have support surrounding and encouraging us to heal. I take an empathetic and curious approach to our work together, meeting you as you are and helping you see that a different path is possible. I see my role as guiding the conversation to a deeper understanding of ourselves, learning to love ourselves and rediscovering what brings us joy and fulfillment. When we feel connected and whole, we can show up to the world and for those we love in an authentic way to live a full life.

In my own life, I value community and connection and believe that when we feel connected, we are capable of truly carving out the life that we want. I started my work over ten years ago after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the local health clinic in a fly-in northern community supporting mental health and wellness. After that transformative experience and with the support of my own community, I pursued my Bachelor’s and Master of Social Work degrees at the University of Victoria. For the past nine years, I have supported children, youth and families. I have a love of learning and enhancing my knowledge and skills, to best support the individuals I am honoured to work with. I lean into the modalities of Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative therapy and often use a mix of modalities based on your unique needs.

As a therapist, I am committed to creating safety to process our most vulnerable and deepest feelings; and to truly shift our discomfort into growth on a deep and sustainable level. It is an honour being a part of this journey alongside you; the greatest joy in my work is being witness to healing and transformation while helping you create a life that is aligned with who you truly are.
