Many of us feel stuck or overwhelmed by the weight of life’s challenges but do not feel like we have what we need to manage them. We want to find ways to better meet our needs but feel unheard and unsupported in our efforts.
 
I use a person-centred, strengths-based, and culturally responsive approach to counselling that prioritizes collaborative decision-making and building interpersonal safety. I strive to provide a compassionate and affirming place to clients through anti-oppressive, neurodivergent-affirming, and queer- and nonmonogamy-friendly practice, so clients can show up as their authentic selves and feel seen and valued.
 
During our therapeutic collaboration, I will walk beside you through life’s challenges and help you feel more capable of meeting the goals that matter to you.
 
I am a graduate-level student pursuing my master’s degree in counselling psychology at Yorkville University. I hold a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology from Queen’s University, where I was an undergraduate representative on the Psychology EDI Committee. I also helped conduct research on marginalized experiences of sexuality. My thesis explored diversity in partner number sexuality (the amount of partners individuals have or are interested in having) and advocated for an inclusive model of sexuality.

Outside of my classroom training, I developed my counselling skills through volunteer work at the Queen’s Peer Support Centre where I provided a welcoming, non-judgmental space for students to discuss their struggles and find connection. I also volunteered as an undergraduate mentor and provided 1-on-1 support to first-year students, guiding them through their transition to university life and empowering them to meet their goals, in academics, extracurriculars, and social life.
