Professionally

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Master in Social Work with over 10 years of professional experience. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of accompanying people from many different life paths, learning from their stories and strengths. These relationships have deeply influenced who I am as a practitioner and inspired me to pursue further education to offer counselling services. 

Years of practice and self-reflection have enhanced my capacity to support people in a welcoming, non-judgmental, and compassionate manner - centering understanding from a place of attuned curiosity. My work is grounded in the belief that we are all doing the best we can, and that our best is often influenced by thought and behaviour patterns we develop to protect ourselves against life’s challenges, disappointments and traumas. I believe that everyone has the internal resources required to live their best lives. My approach supports access to these resources through facilitating greater connection with your innate gifts and wisdom, while exploring, further understanding, and moving through the limitations to your preferred life.

In my personal and professional experience, I have witnessed the transformative healing power of deepening in relationship with oneself from a compassionate, respectful, and curious place. I am passionate about holding space for this work to unfold, and do so in a manner that prioritizes your safety by I aligning myself with the pace you set for our work together. My services are rooted in

Central to my practice is an understanding that broader socioeconomic systems—rooted in oppression and inequality—shape our lived experiences and our relationships with ourselves and others. I am committed to ongoing education and self‑reflection to recognize and dismantle these systems within myself, and to cultivate a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all. I offer a sliding‑scale payment option for those experiencing financial limitations.
