It is my desire to support individuals of all identities to heal and grow through challenging transitional periods in their lives in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Driven by a deep understanding of human emotions and a desire to make a positive impact, I approach each session with compassion and an open mind.
There are many times throughout our lives where we all need a bit of extra support. It would be my honour to work alongside you as part of your support system to help you overcome life’s challenges during these times. With a natural empathetic spirit, I offer a safe environment for you to be yourself and create meaningful changes within your life while exploring the most vulnerable parts of yourself.
I am a Master of Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University. Prior to pursuing my master’s degree, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Sociology at Simon Fraser University. My passion and desire to help others within the mental health field stemmed not only from my educational journey but also from personal experiences as well. I myself have struggled with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders thus further demonstrating my ability to collaborate with you on a personal level through similar challenges. My current work as a youth support worker supporting diverse populations in a safe environment while getting to know them on a personal level has only further affirmed my desire to work in this field. I believe that my unique experiences and education attest to my credibility in working in this field and supporting the growth of my clients by helping them improve their quality of life and achieve inner peace and joy.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, attending the gym, and also engaging in other hobbies such as reading and various forms of art including painting and gardening. This creativity also transfers into my practice allowing me to think outside the box and tailor my approach to meet the needs of each unique client by collaboratively developing techniques that work for you. I offer an integrative approach to counselling that combines holistic, humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches. In addition to my empathetic nature and creative mindset, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space for you to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings in a vulnerable manner, fostering empowerment, self-discovery, and a change in perspective. It would be my honour and privilege to embark on this journey of positive change with you as you overcome life’s challenges and become the best version of yourself.
