How I Work
I see therapy as a collaborative process. We meet in the middle and gently sort through what’s asking for attention, discovering together the ways I can best support you. It feels a bit like a dance—sometimes I guide, sometimes you do, and often we move together in a rhythm that shifts moment to moment. However we arrive, my intention is always to deepen your sense of safety, support, and growth. I hold a strong belief in your autonomy, creating space for you to name what you need while I stay attuned to the pace, adjusting our steps whenever something calls for slowing down or moving differently.
Inclusive, Trauma-Aware, and Anti-Racist Care
I am deeply committed to providing a safe and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, identities, religious affiliations, sexual orientations, and abilities. I believe quality care should be both offered and accessible to everyone. My work is grounded in respect, curiosity, inclusivity, and the fundamental human right to belong. I am also committed to maintaining a practice that does not overlook the historical and ongoing trauma caused by systems of patriarchy, colonialism, the Indian Residential School system, cultural genocide, and racism.
Focus Areas
Motherhood & Caregiving
For Millennial moms and Gen-X women caring for children, aging parents, or both. Sometimes caring for the people you love brings you face-to-face with parts of yourself you didn't know were still there.
Old family patterns, guilt, resentment, grief, people-pleasing, and questions about who you are can become harder to ignore.
Therapy can be a place to understand what's happening underneath and begin creating something different.
Individual Trauma Therapy
You don't have to have one defining traumatic event for your past to still affect you. I define trauma as anything that happened to you that overwhelmed your system at that time. Psychiatrist Gabor Maté defines trauma not as the event itself, but as the wound it leaves behind.
As such, trauma can shape how you relate to yourself and others, how your nervous system responds to stress, and what happens inside you when relationships feel uncertain, overwhelming, or unsafe.
My work takes a depth-oriented, relational approach to trauma, looking not only at what happened but at how your experiences continue to live in you now.
Youth & Young Adult Counselling
I work with teens and young adults who may be navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, family dynamics, big emotions, or periods of change.
For younger clients, I believe the relationship we build matters. Therapy isn't about fixing or changing a young person into who someone else thinks they should be. It's about creating a space where they can feel understood, develop a stronger sense of themselves, and have support as they figure things out.
