I am a counselling practicum student in my final year at Yorkville University. Although I have a background in teaching languages, I have spent the past few years providing Neurofeedback treatments to those suffering from mood problems, cognitive issues, and PTSD. I have become passionate about our mind-body connection and how we can work towards wellness from many angles, such as resetting our nervous system, training our brains, sharing and connecting emotionally with others, creative expression, and getting in touch with the messages our body sends us.

Through a client-centred, culturally sensitive, mind-body approach, I provide a safe place for clients to explore their struggles and strengths, collaborate to reach their goals, and create hopeful futures. I believe in pulling from a mix of verbal and non-verbal evidence-based techniques while giving clients the power to choose what style of therapy best suits their personality and needs. I am passionate about uncovering resilience and confidence, and love working with clients looking to tap into their body’s natural ability to heal. Together, I want to build a therapeutic puzzle that fits your uniqueness and meets your goals.

When I leave work, I slip into being the introvert that I am. I spend my time hiking, surfing, and camping as much as possible. I also try to nurture my creative side through drawing, singing, and escaping into the world of extremely nerdy fantasy fiction.

I work with children, teens, and adults, and am available in person at the Westshore office, or online.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with Sea To Tree, I work with teenagers and adults to provide person-centered therapy for people dealing with a variety of mental health difficulties.

I strive to empower individuals by assisting them in understanding and managing their physiological responses to stress.

With a diverse background in the healthcare industry, including work as a paramedic, personal trainer, and health and nutrition coach, I have a thorough understanding of the impact of mental health on overall quality of life.
