Registered Psychotherapist
(she/her/hers)
I offer my clients a fresh perspective, insight, empathy, and a bit of humour. I’m here as a non-judgmental sounding board to help you untangle the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that hold the wisdom to help you answer to your most pressing questions:
Why do I think, feel and act the way I do?
How do I want to show up in my life and relationships?
Who am I and who do I want to be?
​
I appreciate directness and authenticity from others, so that's what I try to bring to my clients. Acknowledging my privilege as a white, cis, hetero, able-bodied woman, I work from an anti-oppressive, social justice oriented, feminist, neurodiversity affirming lens. I strive to bring humility and sensitivity to learning about the unique lived experiences of each of my clients.
My Story
In late 2020 I was feeling stuck. Stuck at home (thanks, global pandemic), stuck in a sales job that didn't fulfill me, and stuck in a sense of lacking meaning and feeling like I was never doing "enough". All the negative thought patterns and unhelpful routines felt like a tangled knot being pulled tighter and tighter, keeping me in that stuck place.
Then one day in the fall during a conversation with a close friend it felt like the knot suddenly came loose and I could grasp the threads. I realized that I want to use my skill, my insight, my voice, and my energy to make a real, meaningful impact on individual lives. I went home and applied to the master of arts in counselling psychology program that afternoon.
It's a privilege to be able to build a career around supporting and encouraging others as you untangle the knots keeping you stuck. This is an exciting new chapter for me and I'm so and grateful for the opportunity to become a part of your next chapter.
