I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Trinity Western University (2008). Since then, I have practiced as a therapist in a variety of therapeutic settings, including schools, non-profit community services, and multiple private practice locations.

At the core of being human is the experience of existing within relationships—with ourselves, with each other, and with the world around us. The internal relationships that we have with ourselves are nuanced and intricate. Given that we are human beings with differing pasts, perspectives, and patterns of relating, the relationships that we have with others are also invariably complex. My passion is to sit with people in the heavy and often unexplored places of these relationships—working together to expand curiosity and attunement, to experiment with adjusting the volume on feelings that may seem especially loud or quiet, to practice giving voice to what is ready to be spoken, to move with care and embodied authenticity, and to tend to the beauty that exists within and around us. I consider therapy to be a creative process, and I would love to journey alongside you as you further cultivate your connection with yourself and with others around you.

Engaging from a relationally-centered, attachment-based, trauma-informed lens of care, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside adult clients—individual clients and couples/relationship clients. I seek to create an atmosphere that feels safe, spacious, warm, and attentive, in which you are invited to come with all the parts of your experience of being human. I am drawn towards therapeutic approaches that foster hope, compassion, and connection. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as my primary modality, but I also incorporate other modalities in which I have been trained.
