I came to this work through my own experiences of trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and feeling deeply disconnected from myself and others.

Therapy, mindfulness practice, and years of deep somatic healing helped me understand the survival patterns that once protected me and slowly begin to relate to myself in a different way.

Those experiences continue to shape how I sit with others today. I work with sensitive, self-aware adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in painful patterns that no longer seem to fit their lives.

I know how difficult it can be to begin therapy and talk about the parts of yourself shaped by fear, shame, anxiety, grief, or survival. I also know how exhausting it is to carry everything alone while appearing fine on the surface.

Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, thoughtful, and easy to relate with. I bring warmth, honesty, curiosity, and steadiness into the work, without pressure to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or change before you’re ready.

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in communications, photography and marketing.

In addition to two bachelor’s degrees, I have a Diploma in Counselling Skills from the Orca Institute. I have also completed a two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.
