I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), recognized by the CCPA. I work with
clients in-person, virtually or over the phone. I hold a trauma-informed, compassionate and curious to hear your story stance, while deepening the work with emotional and somatic understanding.
I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, who are 12 and older. I hope to help my clients explore their childhood or past traumas, family stories,
patterns, protective strategies, attachment wounds and underlying emotional needs. 

“Therapy is first about discovering. It’s about who you are and about what your deepest emotional attitudes are. It’s about who you are in the very heart of yourself. That’s the flavor of psychotherapy, discovering yourself, discovering your real attitudes toward the most important pieces of your life.


At some point you realize that the things that you thought you were stuck with, your character traits, are changeable. You can be free of them…" ~ Ron Kurtz, Hakomi Founder
