As a clinical counsellor with a deep-rooted passion for both science and psychology, my journey
into the world of counselling was shaped by personal challenges that led me to understand the
profound impact mental health support can have. Early in my career, I faced the loss of a close
family member, and during that time, I struggled to find the right resources to help me navigate
my grief. This experience sparked my commitment to helping others in their own times of need
and became the foundation for my career in counselling.
I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including individuals in crisis,
navigating life transitions, children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and youth within
the school system. Over the past few years, I have been part of the provincial healthcare
system, working within the adult mental health and substance use team, where I have
supported clients facing acute mental health challenges, often alongside other complex issues
that can coexist and complicate one's well-being.
My approach to counselling is centered on your unique journey. I am deeply committed to
facilitating your growth in a way that is supportive, empathic, and tailored specifically to your
needs. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space is essential in my practice, where you can
explore your experiences with a trauma-informed perspective. I believe that we are all the
experts in our own lives, and sometimes, navigating life’s challenges requires a compassionate
guide to help us heal and grow.
I work with individuals dealing with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression,
relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions, and trauma. Whether you're navigating a
major life change or processing difficult emotions, I am here to support you in overcoming these
hurdles with care and respect for your unique needs.
Core Values
If I had to choose one key value, it would be determination. However, I also deeply believe in
the power of hard work, acceptance, and kindness. These values have served me well
throughout my life, especially in overcoming personal obstacles. They remind me of the
importance of hope, self-love, and resilience in the face of adversity. I aim to bring these same
principles into our work together, as we navigate your healing journey.
Counselling Philosophy
At the heart of counselling is you—your experiences, your goals, and your process. My role is to
walk alongside you, offering support and guidance as you move through life’s challenges at your
own pace. It’s a collaborative relationship built on mutual respect, empathy, and trust. Together,
we’ll work towards your healing and personal growth.
