I am a registered clinical counsellor with the BCACC. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and have spent the past several years supporting individuals through their healing and growth journeys. I began my career working with male survivors of sexual abuse, which laid the foundation for my deep respect for the courage and strength it takes to face trauma. Over time, I transitioned into a clinic where I had the privilege of assisting couples, individuals, and youth with a variety of mental health challenges. I’ve also had the opportunity to work in a hospital setting as a substance use clinician, expanding my expertise in supporting clients through complex struggles.
I’ve trained in several therapeutic approaches, including Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), all of which inform my approach to supporting clients. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where we can explore what’s happening in your life and work together to find solutions that feel right for you.
I’m excited to connect with you and support you on your path to growth and healing.

Healing is one of the bravest choices we can make for ourselves. I am passionate about supporting clients to navigate this journey and live a life aligned with their needs and goals.
My experience in working with clients who have experienced trauma has afforded me a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection. I have supported clients in navigating different challenges, including anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and self-worth. My counseling approach is deeply rooted in empathy and a diverse set of therapeutic modalities. Healing looks different for each and every individual, therefore I tailor my methods to suit each individual’s specific needs, drawing from techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, and inner child work. Furthermore, my work is embedded in non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and multicultural practices. I have a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology and am a registered clinical counsellor.I hold deep regard for the stories each person carries and strive to create a safe and nurturing space for my clients to explore their emotions, reinforce strengths, and build tools and awareness that fosters the life they want to live.
