(she/her) MA, MSW, RSW

Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist

You are the expert in your lived experience.

I believe deeply that we carry within us a capacity for growth, wholeness, and transformation. When we can be witnessed without judgement as fully formed, nuanced humans, the seeds for self-acceptance and self-compassion can take root. The wisdom you have always possessed gains space and clarity to step forward.

My goal is to create a space that is warm, caring, and ‘compassionately curious.’ I use a combination of holistic therapeutic approaches that are relational, integrative, and attachment-oriented. The lens I look through is strengths-based, anti-oppressive and intersectional. Although I’m informed by numerous approaches that work to safely enhance understanding of our nervous systems and connection between mind and body, a consistent element of my practice is rooting therapeutic safety in mindful presence, decolonization, and social justice. Most of all, I show up in this work as human first and foremost and am humbled by our shared capacity to collaborate and foster genuine relationships within the therapeutic space.

I came to this point in my life along a wonderfully winding path. I have experience counselling children and youth, supporting individuals with spinal cord injuries and chronic conditions, assisting and advocating alongside folks as they navigate various institutions and social systems, providing sexual violence prevention training, helping young adults with career questions and holistic emotional wellbeing, facilitating community-based writing and arts groups for unhoused folks, and working as a full spectrum doula with a focus on pregnancy and infant loss support.

I would welcome the chance to connect as you start this journey.
