“I am responsible for who I am. My task is to free myself sufficiently so that I can respond in the present moment not from past programming. That’s what freedom is.” Initially a practitioner in nonprofits and community behavioural health programs and more recently in private practice, I have come to find as a trauma informed therapist, symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relational issues are often expressions of unresolved grief and trauma. I am fascinated by the power of lasting change that comes from intentional deep work.
My training as a NARM therapist has become the anchor of my work, which honours a deep trust for each person’s innate ability to move towards growth and healing, and guides my sessions with clients. My work is to support more connection - with ourselves, others, and the world- so that we can access more parts of ourselves and be fully alive and present.
I bring warmth, intuition, and compassion into the counselling relationship and the encouragement of free, authentic expression. I look forward to learning what it is that you are wanting for yourself out of therapy, and more importantly, out of your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
