“Being validated by feeling heard and seen is a precondition for feeling safe, which is critical when we explore the dangerous territory of trauma and abandonment.”
– Besser Van Der Kolk
Are you feeling stuck in your relationships, mental health, career, or life in general? I want you to know that you’re not alone.
Since 2018 I’ve had the privilege to journey with and witness multiple clients rewiring old patterns, shifting limiting beliefs, and integrating new ways of thinking and feeling. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling from TWU. I’m here to listen without judgment, to offer thoughtful feedback, and to help you uncover and heal what might be hidden beneath the surface.
My main counselling approach is Observed Experiential Integration (OEI) which gently releases trauma in the mind and body through somatic work. Derived from EMDR, OEI can be powerful when working with trauma and stuck emotions. It helps uncover and release core challenging emotions gently, quickly and effectively.

My counseling skills are above par, and I have a compassionate and personable demeanor.
Clients warm up to me quickly and I enjoy helping them reach their goals and find new meaning and well being in their lives. My counselling approach is client centered, systems-based and trauma informed.
I have the skills of creating rapport, building trust and creating a sense of safety. I show genuine interest in people and their needs. I have the ability to grasp the core or heart of an issue, need or situation; and can communicate it with clarity and compassion.
I’m a people person and genuinely want to see others heal, succeed, grow, and shine.
I’m warm, have a healing presence and have a natural inclination to help, support and facilitate healing
