MA, RCC, CCC
I bring more than 15 years of experience supporting people through trauma, conflict, and difficult change. My background includes work in federal corrections, supporting people returning to the community after incarceration, and helping First Nations develop community safety programs. Across those settings, I’ve learned to stay curious about how people got here, what’s helped them survive, and what they want to be different.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Canadian Certified Counsellor with a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I work with adults and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and complicated relationships. You might be having the same argument again, holding things together while struggling privately, or wondering why a pattern you understand still keeps repeating. Maybe there’s a part of your story you usually leave out because you’re worried about how it will land.
I’m warm, straightforward, and hard to shock. There’s room for humour, honest conversation, and the messy parts. I’ll listen closely, ask questions, and gently challenge you when it might help. I want you to feel comfortable doing the same: telling me when I’ve missed something, when an idea doesn’t fit, or when we need to slow down.
My approach draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and attachment-informed work, among other approaches. That might mean finding ways to respond differently when emotions run high, understanding how earlier experiences show up in your relationships, or making a difficult week more manageable. We’ll decide together what needs attention and what’s useful for you.
You don’t need to have the whole story sorted out before we meet. We can start with what’s happening, make sense of it together, and work toward changes that matter in your everyday life.
