I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor, but I’m also a person who is endlessly curious about what makes us who we are: how we relate to ourselves, how we connect with other people, and what happens when the ways we’ve learned to cope stop working so well.

I was drawn to the counselling profession because I’ve always been interested in the stories underneath the stories. The things we say we’re struggling with are often only part of the picture. Beneath anxiety might be a fear of disappointing someone; beneath conflict might be a longing to feel understood, and beneath difficulties with sex might be shame, disconnection, pressure, or simply not knowing how to talk about what we actually want. I love getting curious about those layers with people. 

What you can expect from me

You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out, and you don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy. We can start wherever you are and make sense of things together. 

My style is warm, collaborative, and curious. I’m not interested in judging your experiences or telling you what your relationship, sex life, or emotional life “should” look like. Instead, I want to help you understand yourself more deeply, including the parts of you that may be anxious, avoidant, protective, or self-critical.

I also believe therapy can hold both depth and lightness. We can talk about difficult things without losing sight of humour, humanity, and the parts of life that make you feel like yourself. 

A little more personally

Having my own experiences as a counselling client has shaped the way I understand therapy and the way I show up in my work. It has deepened my belief that there isn’t one “right” way to experience the world, connect with others, communicate, or move through life. My own experiences as a client has shown me how meaningful it can be to have a space where you can explore yourself with curiosity rather than assumptions, and without feeling like you need to fit into a particular idea of how you’re supposed to be. 

I bring that perspective into my work while remembering that every person’s experience is their own. I’m interested in helping you understand your patterns, needs, strengths, and ways of relating, and creating a space for you to figure out what feels true and meaningful for you. 

A little about me outside the counselling room

You can often find me upside down. I love handstands and aerial silks, activities that challenge me to be present in my body, embrace a little discomfort, and keep  practicing when something doesn’t come as easily. 

And when I’m looking for something a little slower, I’m usually getting lost in a good book or spending time with my partner, maybe experimenting with a vegetarian recipe, or finding something new, creative, or active to enjoy together.

These are small glimpses into my life outside the counselling room, but they’re also part of who I am when I sit across from you. I value curiosity, embodiment, creativity, play, connection, and the many different ways people make meaning of their experiences. And like everyone else, I’m still learning. I don’t see myself as something who has life figured out, but rather someone who is genuinely interested in people and honoured to be invited into the vulnerable parts of their lives.

My clinical background

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #20756) and hold a Master of Counselling Psychology from Adler University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of British Columbia.

My clinical work is informed by emotion-focused and parts work approaches, alongside cognitive and mindfulness approaches such as CBT and ACT. I’ve completed additional training in sex therapy, psychosexual and relationship therapy, couples counselling, gender-affirming sexual health care, and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusivity. I work from a neurodivergent-affirming and sex-positive lens, and aim to create a space where you can talk openly about the things that can be difficult to say out loud.

If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit

You don’t have to be sure that therapy is the right next step before reaching out. If something in your life or relationships isn’t working the way you’d like it to, we can start there. A free consultation is a chance to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide together whether I might be the right person to support you.
