How I Work

My work is person-centred and collaborative. I am committed to the practice of de-colonization, and deeply value diversity. 

I am queer and trans allied. 

People don’t need to be fixed; rather we are helped by being encouraged as we recognize our inner-strengths and resources and know that we are already enough. My orientation towards capacity, compassion, and care is fundamental to my work with individuals, youth, families, couples, and groups.

I believe that life is beautiful and each of us has the potential to thrive in connection and belonging.

We are co-creators of insight and healing when we can open ourselves to listening and learning and understanding that our challenges are our teachers. This is how we grow in strength, wisdom and the capacity to genuinely connect with each other. This process asks us to slow down and reflect.  

Everyone has the capacity to change. I offer a safe, supportive, and compassionate space to reflect deeply so that you can live deeply with intentionality.

I have a strengths-based, dignity-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming practice. Depending on what arises and how the process unfolds, I draw from a variety of counselling modalities.
