I hold a gentle, inclusive, and non-judgemental space for you to release and process through your tough time. I support individuals who find themselves stuck and seek to uncover how they can move through, and ultimately out of, their current pain.
As an integrative counsellor, I’ll collaborate with you to explore what’s affecting your current life and discover what would be helpful for you to move beyond difficult, and often painful, experiences using a variety of therapeutic techniques. We are all so unique, and so too will your healing journey be unique to you!

Starting the path to healing can be daunting which is why I strive to create a warm and safe place for you to lay down your burden without fear of judgement. I’ll walk beside you as you begin the journey of healing, exploring, and (re)discovering your Self to a stronger, calmer, empowered You.
I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT #3317), and a Registered Professional Counsellor Candidate with the Canadian Professional Counsellor’s Association (CPCA # 4417), and work under the supervision of approved senior counsellors whilst I accumulate the hours for their full designation.
And most recently I am thrilled to share that I am now a Gold Certified HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator – enabling, educating and empowering parents to have a stress-free, fear-free birthing experience. Whether its your first baby, or your fifth, HypnoBirthing is about bringing back the birthing experience to your desires & design and our philosophy and technique teaches you how to do just that no matter where, or how, you choose to birth.

Children have the ability to connect with others while they are playing. As a play therapist, we are able to create that bond with the kids who are going through things at school or at home and have difficulty expressing those feelings. My approach to play therapy is to individualize treatment plans for all my clients. I feel it is better to cooperatively work with children to help them be and feel their best in whatever situation they can go through. Whether that is to help them with confidence, self-awareness, self-control, and self-esteem. I create activities or play games that are customized to help with stress, anxiety, depression, learning difficulties, or big emotions my clients may be dealing with. Sometimes all they need is someone to listen to them vent their frustrations. With whatever situation your child may be dealing with, I provide a warm, caring, empathetic, nurturing environment that will allow your child to be safe to feel their feelings in a non-judgemental space.
