Clinical Counsellor

My aim is to provide a supportive, non-judgemental and safe environment to help support you through life’s difficulties. When life challenges us, it results in emotional and psychological stress in our lives. My mission is to support you in regaining control.

There are times where the challenges we face in our daily lives become too difficult to manage on our own. We may need someone to talk to. I can help navigate those who are looking to add meaning and purpose to their lives, generating motivation, and driving direction. The ability to achieve wellness and stability in our lives, exists somewhere inside each and every single one of us.

The disconnection we experience from the things that bring us happiness and joy may cause us to feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by stress. My aim is to provide a supportive, non-judgemental, and safe environment to help support you through life’s difficulties that may have you feeling stuck and under pressure. Lifes challenges result in emotional and psychological stress in our lives and my mission is to support you in regaining control.

My work stems from a holistic and integrative approach which includes mindfulness, breath work, and evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, and DBT. I believe it is important to have a well-stocked arsenal of techniques as it enables me to effectively meet my clients needs. I assist my clients in accepting life challenges, discovering their strengths and abilities, and committing to change. My warm, gentle, empathetic, and attentive approach allows my clients to feel validated, empowered, and hopeful. I work from a variety of perspectives and work towards building self-compassion into your daily life.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counselling. I have several years of experience working with youth on the Autism spectrum as a Behaviour Interventionist.

I have experience working with a broad range of mental health difficulties along with life challenges. I have worked alongside parents and teachers. My main areas of focus are those who present with anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. I also work with those who have experienced grief/loss, life transitions (school, work, moving), anger, and conflict resolution. I have experience helping support clients in setting boundaries in place, regaining control in their lives, and practicing self-compassion and mindfulness. My background provides me with an understanding to work with couples and families through a range of issues. Throughout my years of experience, I have also worked with those who identify as LGBTQ.

My warm, gentle, and compassionate nature allows me to build trust/rapport with my clients and allows me to create a safe place to openly share all thoughts and feelings. Ever since I incorporated self-compassion and mindfulness into my own life, I have responded to challenges in my life with kindness and understanding towards myself. By soothing and comforting ourselves when we’re hurting, we offset self-criticism and feelings of failure. I believe mental health is just as important as physical health. My duty is to join you on your path towards creating space for healing, change, and improved sense of well-being.

Feeling heard and unconditionally accepted can help us feel safe while exploring vulnerable parts of ourselves. This can be especially important if the thoughts and feelings that live within our vulnerability prevent us from feeling like we deserve to grow and be at ease with ourselves. I therefore consider it a sincere honour to be able to sit with you as we navigate and process what brought you to counselling. Moreover, I find passion in collaborating with you on ways that we can challenge the thoughts and feelings that stifle your inner peace, self-acceptance, and hope.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Simon Fraser University. Initially I pursued psychology because I wanted to develop a deeper understanding of people. I therefore volunteered for several non-profit organizations both during and after my undergraduate studies. During my time as a volunteer, I worked with diverse people in socially and therapeutically supportive ways. These experiences evolved my love for learning about people into a love for listening to their stories. However, my previous volunteer work as a crisis line call-taker solidified my passion for playing an active role in supporting people therapeutically. It is now my honour to do this as a clinical counsellor.

While my approach to therapy is Person-Centered, I think about the person primarily from a Cognitive Behavioural lens. As such, I utilize related interventions, though I also integrate elements of Existential, Narrative, Gestalt, Mindfulness-Based, and Solution-Focused therapies as well. Regardless of how I conceptualize the person and their situation, I remain dedicated to personalizing the therapeutic experience by being flexible, collaborative, and affirming.

Here are some of the areas I can help you with:

  • LGBTQIA+
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Boundaries
  • Perinatal
  • Self-Esteem
  • Communication
  • Life Transitions
  • Stress
  • Interpersonal Conflict
  • Burnout
  • Suicide

  • Confidence
  • Guilt and Shame

Clinical Counsellor

I believe that each person already has the inner resources to grow and make positive changes. However, sometimes, we need some extra support accessing those resources. As a counsellor, I aim to foster a supportive, healing environment to help you connect with yourself, get in touch with your inner wisdom, and create meaningful changes in your life. 

In our work together, we will identify and transform the patterns you developed to survive, but are no longer serving you. This will look like exploring your behaviours, emotions, thoughts, expectations, and the meaning you make of your concerns. We will also explore the impact of the systems in which you exist, such as your family and cultural contexts.

By looking at each layer of your experience, we can identify your stuck points and help you feel empowered to make choices in alignment with who you are. I take a collaborative and anti-oppressive approach to therapy, so throughout the process, I will always emphasize choice and safety.

Some of the areas I can support you with include:

  • Anxiety
  • Self-Esteem
  • Depression
  • Burnout
  • Emotion Regulation
  • Relationship Issues
  • Men’s Issues
  • Anger Management 
  • Perfectionism

It isn’t easy to seek support, but here you are. You’ve already jumped over a very tough hurdle! I bring warmth and compassion to each interaction and believe in the innate ability we all have to heal and grow. It’s my goal to help you find a deeper appreciation and understanding of self and to expand your capacity for lifelong resiliency in a space where you feel seen and heard. 

Life is tough sometimes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unable to cope, I can help you. I am passionate about helping children and youth become empowered and in charge of their thoughts. If your child is having a hard time with thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, I am here to support as well. You are not alone. 

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) through BCACC. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Masters of Counselling from City University and currently, I am working towards becoming a Certified Play Therapist. Prior to counselling, I worked as a Kindergarten Teacher for nearly 10 years. It was this role as an early childhood educator that ignited my desire to help children through the challenges of life with more depth and meaning. It fuelled my curiosity around attachment theory and how adverse childhood experiences affect the developing brain, impacting children’s emotional and developmental trajectory. Which ultimately filters into our lives as adults. 

I am passionate about helping young children, youth, and adults process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that grants them the awareness that they are truly capable and worthy. Through a person-centered, holistic and collaborative approach, my practice aims to help shift unhelpful thinking and exercise healthy coping. I’ll help you identify the physiological responses, process the root cause and learn effective self-regulation to make daily life feel lighter and more enjoyable.  I am equally as enthusiastic to work with caregivers and families to support in better understanding the why behind behaviours, strategies for dealing with diverse needs, and personal struggles.   

My approach is integrative and based on your unique needs; I may utilize CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Somatic Practices, Play Therapy and Psychoeducation. I work within a range of areas such as:

  • Emotional Regulation
  • Coping Skills
  • Boundaries
  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Early childhood development
  • Parenting
  • Pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum
  • Trauma
  • Divorce/Separation
  • Life Transitions
  • Family dynamics
  • Self-esteem
  • Grief and loss

Everyone deserves a safe, trusting space to share and unpack their story. It would be an honour to walk alongside you as you rise through this and find inner peace.

I am here to walk with you through challenging life experiences or crises, being able to hold your pain and the depth in which you are affected by it. You can expect an approach to counselling that aligns with Carl Roger’s person centered therapy which is displayed through this quote, which I value and offer in my practice “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”. I am here to accept your experience and feelings without judgment and sit with you as you further explore them to further your own self growth and well-being. I express respect, understanding and unconditional positive regard towards your situation, experiences and feelings as we work together through challenges that are difficult to tackle on our own. While exploring your life experience I will work with you towards your goals and offer help in skill development in areas such as, but not limited to communication, boundaries, stress management, coping and improved self-esteem and well-being.

I am currently a Master of Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University. Prior to starting the master’s program, I completed a bachelor’s degree at Simon Fraser University with a major in psychology and minor in counselling and human development. During my life and several different work experiences after my undergrad, I decided to further pursue my teaching degree at the University of British Columbia. The knowledge and experiences I have gained through my education, work, teaching and relationships with coworkers, clients and personal has allowed me to develop a depth of interpersonal skills which support clients in improved health and well-being. I approach well-being from a holistic stance understanding the importance of health in our mind, body and spirit.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the value that accepting ourselves without judgment allows for personal healing and growth towards changes in improved health and well-being. I believe in meeting the client where they are at and supporting an exploration of their own life experiences. I offer an integrated approach to counselling where I may use different theories catered to support your unique needs. My passions in my personal life shine through in my personality and my ability to help, as I have taken many steps to engage in things I find true joy in and maintain my health through my own development in my mind, body and spirit. I enjoy a lot of time outside on trails walking or hiking and enjoying hobbies such as kayaking, camping and snowboarding. While life can be challenging to fit in healthy routines I have developed skills to increase my own well-being and apply this approach to support clients in increasing their own strengths, abilities and resources.

Navigating life’s challenges can be overwhelming, whether you are a young person facing change, a parent supporting a struggling child, or an individual working through personal hardships. It’s not always easy to know where to turn or how to take the next step toward healing. Feelings of anxiety, depression, and uncertainty can weigh heavily, making it difficult to move forward. My role as a counsellor is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can process their emotions, build resilience, and develop strategies for navigating life’s ups and downs.  

As a practicum student counsellor specializing in working with children, youth, and adults, I take a person-centred, holistic approach to therapy. This means that you are in control of our sessions- you decide what feels important to explore, and I am here to listen, support, and guide you through the process. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulties with identity, self-harm, or life transitions, I aim to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and understanding.

My background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology honours and experience supporting neurodiverse individuals and those facing mental health struggles. Before my counselling practicum, I worked as a youth development worker at Whytecliff Agile Learning Centre, supporting high school students with social-emotional challenges, learning disabilities, and self-advocacy skills. I have also worked as a behavioural interventionist for children with autism and an after-school art and public speaking instructor, helping youth build confidence and self-expression. These experiences have strengthened my ability to work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Support for Youth and Parents

  • Helping youth navigate anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges
  • Supporting neurodiverse individuals in developing emotional regulation and social skills
  • Guidance for parents of children with special needs, including advocacy for school and community resources
  • Supporting families experiencing separation, divorce, or family conflict

Support for Adults

  • Working through personal growth and self-identity
  • Navigating major life changes and transitions

I believe that healing begins in the safety of human connection, where your story is heard, your pain is honoured, and your voice is reclaimed. I believe that everyone holds strength and power within them, even when life makes it hard to feel it. Healing isn’t always linear, it is a series of small, brave steps forward. My role is to walk beside you with compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. Together, we will take those steps, one at a time. 
I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Athabasca University and working as a counselling intern under clinical supervision. After graduation, I plan to register as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BCACC, 

My path into this work has been shaped by both lived experience and a deep curiosity about people, how they navigate difficulty, how they hold pain, and how they find meaning in the midst of it all. I have worked in leadership roles for over a decade, volunteered in the community, and completed undergraduate research focused on loneliness and aging. I also live with a chronic illness, which has taught me firsthand how strength and struggle can exist side-by-side, and how important it is to be met with understanding. These experiences have deepened my compassion and solidified my belief that people are incredibly resilient, and that even in the darkest moments, there is the possibility for insight and healing. 

In my counselling work, I am especially passionate about supporting individuals through grief and loss, chronic illness, identity shifts, relational issues, and life transitions.  I aim to be a steady presence as we make sense of those experiences together. I believe that even when emotions feel overwhelming, they hold valuable information, and with support people can learn to accept where they are and take empowered steps toward who they want to become. Even when that strength feels far away, I believe it is still there, waiting to be remembered, one step at a time. 

My therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered and existential perspectives, meaning I value deep listening, collaborative exploration, and a focus on meaning-making. I also integrate tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy, which offer practical ways to move through emotional pain, reconnect with personal values, and create sustainable, values-based change. Healing is not about erasing pain, but about integrating it, making meaning from it in a way that empowers you to be who you want to be.  

Outside of my counselling work, I find joy in the quiet moments, reading, writing, spending time with my dogs, and reflecting on how to make life a more peaceful and intentional place. I am always learning about others and about myself, because I believe growth is a life-long journey. I believe we all deserve to live a life that feels connected to who we are, and who we are becoming. If you have lost that connection, I would be honoured to help you find your way back to it. 

Areas I am able to support you include, but are not limited to: 

  • Existential concerns and purpose.
  • Trauma and post-traumatic growth.
  • Chronic illness and invisible or visible pain.
  • Grief and loss.
  • Anxiety and depression. 
  • Stress and emotional overwhelm.
  • Life transition and identity shifts. 
  • Relationship and family dynamics.
  • Young adulthood and emerging adulthood. 
  • Older adulthood and aging-related concerns. 
  • Values-based living and meaning-making. 
  • Self-compassion and emotional regulation.

I understand how much dedication, energy, and trust go into building a relationship. Oftentimes, involving a neutral party can help the couple to explore their relationship in a safe and respectful manner. I focus on skill building in areas such as empathy, listening, healthy communication, and conflict resolution. My work is grounded in a person-centered approach, where I believe you are each experts of your own life. 

I’m currently attending Yorkville University as a Master of Counselling Psychology student. I am a student member of BCACC and CCPA, and upon graduation I intend to register as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Clinical Counsellor (CCC).
