About me...

I am a compassionate and empathetic individual whose life experiences have shaped both who I am personally and how I support others professionally. Throughout my life, I have navigated significant challenges, including complex health experiences, relationship and parenting difficulties, and periods of financial stress. Alongside these hardships, I have also experienced deep joy and fulfillment through motherhood, meaningful relationships with friends and family, volunteer work with important organizations, and beginning a new career later in life.

These experiences have provided me with valuable opportunities for personal growth, resilience, perspective, and self-reflection. They continue to inform the way I connect with and support clients in a genuine and compassionate way.

Now in my fifth year of practice, I bring together both lived experience and professional training as a Counselling Therapist to offer a thoughtful and grounded approach to therapy. I strive to support individuals as they navigate their own unique paths, helping them move through challenges with greater understanding, self-compassion, and hope.

I use an integrative, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, grounded primarily in an existential-humanistic perspective. This therapeutic lens recognizes each person’s capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change, while acknowledging that our life experiences shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.

I believe that although we are capable of change, difficult experiences can deeply impact our sense of safety, security, and connection, often contributing to the challenges we face later in life. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, process past wounds, and better understand the patterns that may be affecting your well-being.

Through our work together, we can identify meaningful goals, build healthier ways of coping, and support you in moving toward a more authentic, fulfilling, and values-aligned life.

My practice focuses on supporting individuals whose emotional and mental well-being has been impacted by chronic illness or pain, past trauma or toxic experiences, and significant life transitions. These transitions may include experiences such as living with disability, receiving a terminal or complex medical diagnosis, navigating changes in relationships, or adjusting to the beginning or ending of educational paths or careers.

Life changes, even meaningful ones, can feel overwhelming, stressful, and uncertain. They may also reactivate unresolved emotions or past experiences that continue to affect how we cope in the present. In our counselling work together, I provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, while gaining a deeper understanding of how they may be influencing your current challenges and personal goals.

Together, we will work to identify your strengths, values, and aspirations, while developing practical and meaningful strategies tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to support you in moving toward a more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling life.

My passion is helping you:
• embrace your authentic self,
• find joy and meaning in your life, and
• create a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with what you truly desire and deserve.
