Whether you have tried many therapists, or have never been to therapy, I am comfortable working with people who are sceptical about the counselling process. I bring a trauma-informed lens to counselling to help you work through tricky moments from the past and present that we may or may not be entirely aware of.
I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. I aim to facilitate your search for personal meaning and life goals through various therapeutic techniques including narrative therapy, psychodrama, EMDR, and mindfulness. I have a person-centred approach, which means that I work collaboratively with you, at your own pace. I aim to be a non-judgmental listener, walking alongside as we face our fears, shame, self-loathing and other challenges to find greater self-acceptance and ease.
I have worked for over a decade as a voice coach with artists and students aged six to sixty-five, helping them discover confidence in themselves through voice work, drama, and public speaking to create life-affirming transformation through voice. I bring this same compassion and curiosity to my work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor at Crossroads Collective.
I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, and Bachelor’s in Acting. I am registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.
