A bit about me:
Connection, empathy, compassion, and hope are at the core of everything I do. ​Throughout life's many challenges, these values have been my guide.
​
Many of my areas of practice are grounded in my own lived experience, and this supports my ability to offer authentic connection and empathy around various aspects of the healing process. I've navigated the challenges of feeling overwhelmed by trauma and systemic barriers. Thankfully, my journey taught me that when we find good-fit therapy, seek community supports, and take the time to work on developing deeper self-compassion, we are so much stronger and more capable of healing than we ever imagined possible.
​
My work is to help others navigate their roadblocks and identify their core values through safe, nonjudgmental therapy. I believe that people heal through being heard, seen and known, and this knowledge guides my counselling practice.
​
​We're never stuck if we can connect with the power and strength within us. Sometimes this requires facing and working through painful emotions, but we always emerge with greater purpose, deeper compassion, higher wisdom, and more capacity for love and authentic connection.​
