About…

Life is a complex journey filled with joys, sorrows, and everything in between. You may feel stuck in one spot or be overwhelmed by a life transition. You may be frustrated with your relationships and have challenges communicating your needs. You may be coping with ongoing stress in ways that are no longer working for you. You don’t have to traverse these challenges alone. I am here to help. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and have a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology with Distinction and additional training in:

  • EMDR trauma processing (EMDRIA approved Levels 1 & 2)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Emotionally Focussed Individual Therapy (EFIT)
  • Eating Disorders
  • Trauma
  • Perinatal

My approach is multi-faceted and tailored to your needs. I can help you sift and sort the things that are coming up for you, together we can make sense of the past and takes steps towards a better future. I am a parent, a performer, a teacher, and a pet lover. I love the theatre and find joy in nature. When I am not working I love spending time with family and friends, hiking the local trails, kayaking on the lake, and spending time cuddled up with a good book. I have a seven year old forever puppy who constantly reminds me of the joy we can find in the present moment. Book in a free 15 minute online or telephone consultation to learn more; I can’t wait to meet you!
