A human first
I am a human first…
Many people imagine therapists have it all together. I don’t. And I don’t expect you to either.
I know what it’s like to feel anxious, to overthink what to say, to stay quiet even when something matters. To want change, but feel pulled back by fear.
My own journey has been shaped by learning how to meet myself with more compassion, slow things down, and gently challenge the patterns that keep me stuck. Not perfectly, but consistently.
In 2022, I moved to Vancouver on my own. It was something I deeply wanted, and also something that scared me. I spent a long time going back and forth, almost choosing a life that didn’t feel right simply because it felt safer.
I didn’t.
And that experience matters, not because it was dramatic, but because it reminded me that change is uncomfortable, uncertain, and still possible.
Living here hasn’t been easy. But it showed me something I hold onto in my work:
You can do hard things.
Even when part of you is afraid.
Thanks for being here!
Therapy is not about fixing
I am not here to tell you what to do…
My practice is grounded in the belief that you have the answers to your problems, but there is something getting in the way. I am here to guide that exploration and find other ways of being that work for you.
My experience in short-term brief therapy, Mindfulness and CBT, Somatic can aid in practical tools. Long-term approaches like psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR can aid in deeper held patterns.
I blend clinical expertise with realness and no fluff. While staying professional of course! I specialize in Trauma and work most with relationship issues, self-esteem, and anxiety.
Professional Background
I hold my Master’s degree and am a member in good standing with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors AND College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have experience in both short term/ brief counselling where I learned practicality, and long term approaches like IFS, EMDR. While I am currently based in the Fairview/West Broadway area of Vancouver, I am proud to offer online therapy across British Columbia and Ontario, making mental health support accessible wherever you are.
