Counselling is about honouring your needs wherever you are in life—through challenges, change, and past experiences. I'm here to support you through this process. It can be tough and uncomfortable at times, but I believe that making the commitment to your mental wellness through counselling is a courageous act.
In my counselling I’m always weaving together from your past and present story how the various aspects your identity intersect and influence your experiences. I prioritize understanding your unique perspective and fostering your personal growth and well-being.
Together, we'll explore whatever brings you to counselling with gentle curiosity. I'll offer insights from a non-judgmental and empathetic perspective, ensuring a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship forms the foundation of our work.
This work is deeply meaningful to me because I understand the vulnerability of sharing your personal life with a stranger. I validate your feelings and create a space for healing. It would be an honour to collaborate with you and listen to your story.
I graduated with a Master’s degree of Counselling from City University, and I am registered with the B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors. I was the first intern to work with Tapestry Counselling Centre and I am grateful to continue my work here as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I also have experience with a non-profit where I provided short-term counselling to adults. Before my Master’s, I worked on the frontline of a post-secondary counselling office, and it is here I discovered my goal to become a counsellor myself. I am also a registered provider for the Metis Nation of BC (MNBC) and for the SPCA Cruelty Investigatory Team.
