My approach is down-to-earth, compassionate, and adaptable, with a strong trauma-informed emphasis on safety and nervous system regulation. I am deeply committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and safe to be fully yourself. Healing is not linear. With the right support, enduring change is possible. I walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths, establish boundaries that honour your needs, and create new pathways forward. I work collaboratively and from the belief that you are the expert on your own inner experience. Our sessions are shaped by your goals, preferences, and capacity in each moment. While some clients find healing through open, reflective conversation, others benefit from more structured approaches. I tailor our work to you, integrating evidence-based therapies with warmth and practical strategies to support stability, clarity, and meaningful change.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences and Psychology, as well as a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the CCPA, the national registering body for counsellors, and am currently awaiting Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) certification with the BCACC. I am trained in EMDR (under strict EMDRIA standards) and have completed advanced clinical training in EMDR for Chronic Pain and Illness, as well as EMDR for Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and dissociation. Alongside EMDR, my work integrates evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work, Polyvagal Theory, DBT distress management, and CBT—always through a trauma-competent lens that honours relationships, lived experience, and the protective parts within us all. Another newer trauma modality I have been trained in is Predictive Processing Flash (commonly referred to as “Flash”) which can help resolve distress and trauma quite quickly and also involves very little verbalizing of one’s trauma. It’s a gentler approach and a great technique to use for complex PTSD to ease into EMDR.
