About Me:

Registered Clinical Counsellor

I grew up in the beautiful Steveston Village in Richmond, British Columbia, before attending Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in Law & Society. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).

I have been practicing as an RCC since 2020, but I’ve known I wanted to be a therapist since I was 15 years old. I’ve always been drawn to the complexity of people and the experiences we all go through. I genuinely enjoy listening to others’ stories and being someone they can turn to. I’ve also attended therapy for years myself, as I believe it’s an important support for anyone navigating life’s challenges. I have lived experience with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and chronic illness. Therapy offers a space where we can come to know ourselves more deeply and reconnect with our true selves.

I am deeply empathetic and passionate about supporting my clients on their journey of healing and growth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a foundational part of our work—because we heal through connection. My office is designed to be a comfortable, welcoming space where clients can settle in and feel safe. I am also committed to ongoing professional development to ensure I provide the best possible care.

I’ve completed training in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), advanced combined EMDR & IFS, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

Outside of my work, I love spending time in nature with my dog, hiking trails, or relaxing at the beach. I also enjoy exploring new restaurants and cafés, listening to true crime podcasts, cross-stitching, and baking. I’ve always been drawn to water and find its calming presence deeply grounding.

My Process:

In our work together, my goal is to foster an empathetic and collaborative therapeutic relationship to meet you where you are at. We will explore and gain insight into your inner world, and I will support you in implementing techniques that create lasting change, extending beyond our sessions.
Throughout our time together, we’ll examine how past experiences influence the present, connect with different parts of the self, and reconnect with the body. This process of deep understanding and reprocessing helps you heal, bringing greater resilience and balance within yourself.
