Being human is beautifully weird, and painfully difficult.

 As a therapist, I am less interested in providing pat answers about this human experience, and more interested in creating shame-free spaces where we can lean into its mysteries and learn from it. I believe that therapy can be a transformational experience where we experience change as we are held and seen by another, and it is my great privilege to walk with those who are willing to share their stories with me.

I operate from an attachment-based, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed framework.

I have experience working with numerous issues, including but not limited to: anxiety, religious trauma and spiritual deconstruction, emotion regulation issues, relationship issues, and embodiment.

My approach is warm and relaxed, with a dose of humour when it feels appropriate.

Bearing Witness

There is a transformational power that comes from being seen in our humanity and having someone bear witness to our stories.

  • The short answer: it depends. The long answer: the counselling process is different for everyone, depending on personal needs, past experiences, and the nature of what it is you’re working through. That being said, I take a collaborative approach to therapy and welcome conversation about the counselling process and timeline with my clients. If you have concerns, please let me know.

  • Yes! I offer virtual sessions as well as in-person sessions. Please note that I am only able to provide services to individuals residing in British Columbia due to my licensing, even when those services are virtual.

  • I offer a culturally sensitive and inclusive practice, and welcome people of all walks of life into my office. However, it is obvious via my online presence that I practice a Christian faith. Some may find this helpful, whereas others may find themselves wary. Part of offering culturally competent care means leading from a place of curiosity about your culture. I do not use the counselling room as an opportunity to evangelize, proselytize, or share my worldview.
