I am deeply passionate about helping individuals aged 18 and onwards navigate life’s challenges, including relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, loneliness, and feelings of being overwhelmed. I employ a person-centered and collaborative approach to therapy, and I am committed to supporting my clients on their path to well-being. My goal is to assist them in processing trauma, fostering growth, healing, and achieving their goals, all while uncovering their inner strengths and resilience.

I use evidence-based techniques to help clients gain insight, process emotions, and develop strategies for managing challenges. I hold certifications in Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) Levels 1 and 2 (ICEEFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 and 2, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) externship (ICEEFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Depression (Beck Institute). I am also interested in Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Pursuing therapy takes strength and courage, and I am honored to support you on this important journey. I hope to help you in the best way I can as your therapist.

HI! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Coquitlam, BC. I was born and raised in the lower mainland. I am lucky to have an amazing mom who let me explore and grow by supporting me and who I am. My house was full of animals and music- a tradition she still maintains. Playing hockey and going to concerts are just a couple of things on my list of things that bring me joy.

When I was 17 I realized I wanted to grow up and become a sex therapist. I went to Douglas College for my Associates Degree and then Simon Fraser University for my Bachelors Degree. During my time at SFU I dove into volunteering at research labs which afforded me the opportunity to present at the SSSS conference. During this time I really got to get a glimpse into the world of sex therapy and it solidified my love for the profession and specialization.

My hope is that my clients feel safe to be vulnerable and use the therapeutic space however they need to. I will do my best to make sure to do everything I can to make that possible. During my practicum at The Adler Centre I got to explore different approaches and therapeutic methodologies. I learned that at this point in my training there is not one approach I identify with, but many. My style is eclectic which means I mix and match different theories so that they fit my client better. I make sure that if a method or intervention is not working or feeling right for them that we change it up and find what suits them best. With that said, my philosophies around counselling in general are that the client should be met with respect and unconditional positive regard. The counselling space is the one place in the world where there are no rules or judgement and we can say or feel whatever we want to, and that should be cherished and supported.

I believe that you are the expert on your life and have the most accurate knowledge of yourself; therefore, when you are doing well, you naturally know what is best for you.

Sometimes, being too close to your experience can feel disorienting and confusing, blocking access to your inner compass. When that happens, it can be helpful to add an expert counsellor to your team.

Counselling can help you get distance and clarity of your thoughts and emotions and in this way, you can see the patterns that may be in charge of your behaviour and causing you distress.

Clarity and awareness make it possible for you to see where you can intervene and to realize where you have freedom to choose differently. Counselling with me can give you back your power and puts you back in charge of your life. While you choose the direction and goals of therapy, I act as your guide and fellow traveller, not walking ahead of you and telling you what you should do but alongside you as an equal who wants to understand your experience first before using my knowledge and expertise to collaboratively find the best way forward.

I combine the practical and efficient approach of CBT with the depth therapy of Existential Analysis. CBT helps to prioritize goals, see patterns and gives you tools to manage and quickly resolve urgent problems.

For underlying and longstanding themes that may not fit a label so readily, Existential Analysis gets to the root of the issue and focuses on finding a unique solution to your unique situation.

In using CBT I hope to teach you how to become your own counsellor and in using Existential Analysis I hope to work together to find your unique way to live your life with freedom, authenticity and purpose.
