About


Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, frustration or grief? Do you

find yourself stuck in a pattern of behaviours that are negatively impacting your life such as substance use or gambling? Are you finding it difficult to deal with racing thoughts and unpleasant emotions that become debilitating? I am here to offer support and guidance as you embark on your journey of self-exploration

and growth.


I know that navigating life’s challenges can be tough sometimes, especially when you do it alone. I believe in the power of human connection and in creating a safe, non-judgemental space where meaningful change can take place. My approach is rooted in acceptance, compassion and client centered care so that together we can work on goals that are most relevant to you. Whether it is working through daily stressors and improving relationships or exploring past experiences, such as trauma, I seek to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your current needs.


My previous experience involves over 5 years of addiction counselling in an outpatient organization, helping individuals overcome their concerns related to substance use, gambling and other behavioral concerns. I believe that every individual is capable of making meaningful changes given the right tools and supportive environment. 


I incorporate the techniques of CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness and trauma-informed care to help you gain a better understanding of any underlying issues that may be contributing to your struggles as well as focus on your strengths to achieve the change that you’ve been longing for.

I understand how important it is to have a safe and compassionate space for connection and self exploration. Together we can work on defining your personal strengths, increasing resilience, setting relevant goals as well as identifying negative self-talk, decreasing or eliminating substance use, improving communication skills and managing stress effectively. My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of any underlying issues (including traumatic experiences) and shift unhelpful behaviors through an approach of empathy and empowerment. 


Together we can explore your concerns and identify helpful coping strategies so you can live a more enjoyable life and feel like yourself again. If you are ready to begin this process of healing and transformation, I would be honoured to walk

alongside you and invite you to connect for a consultation.




In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, trying out new recipes and going for walks in nature. I am looking forward to connecting with you!
