Sometimes, it may seem impossible to show up confidently in our unique ways of expression and remain in connection with others. I know what it is like to feel alone, to feel stuck without a clear way forward. It takes courage to seek support with a desire to enter the world differently. 

I view counselling as a collaborative approach in finding ways to navigate our internal and external environments with more ease. I am committed to providing a supportive and accepting space for others to show up in their vulnerability and be witnessed without judgment.

Do you have an intention to expand your self-awareness, increase self-esteem and self-compassion, and further develop your personal and relational well-being? Together we can try out a holistic, mindful, and creative approach, taking us beyond the realms of traditional talk therapy and sprinkle in some fun along the way.

Approach

• Holistic: mind, body, and emotional interconnectedness

• Social justice and anti-oppressive lens

• Trauma-informed and queer friendly

• Humour and playfulness

• Creativity and spirituality
