Are you finding yourself stuck in patterns — in your relationships or within yourself?

Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or emotionally exhausted, even though you’re “functioning” on the outside.

Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, or tensions within their partnership.

I offer a warm, grounded, and non-judgmental space where you can slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and feel genuinely heard and understood.

My path to therapy grew from a long-standing curiosity about what it means to be human — drawn to creativity, emotion, and the ways people make sense of their inner worlds. After completing my BFA and BEd, moving from teaching to counselling felt like a natural evolution, shaped by my love of meaningful, one-on-one conversations and deep relational work.

Those who know me describe me as warm, genuine, empathetic, and steady. I hold a strong belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to meaningful change. My focus is on meeting you where you are, with care, curiosity, and compassion.

I bring both professional training and lived perspective to this work. I see counselling as an act of courage — a step toward greater self-awareness, relief, and emotional clarity. My role is to support you as you navigate challenges, patterns, and growth at a pace that feels right for you.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from The University of British Columbia, following a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and a Bachelor of Education (BEd) in studio art practice and secondary art education.
