Practice Information

Whether you are an individual feeling stuck in some way or a couple looking to improve communication, increase your connection, or resolve conflict, I am here for you. My own journey in therapy inspired me to be a counsellor myself and help others reach their full potential. My life experiences such as living in several different cultures, changing careers, and navigating relational challenges with partners and family increase my capacity for empathy and compassion. Building a meaningful relationship with clients is most important to me. I value every client’s right to determine what their journey is and believe that everyone has what it takes to be the best version of themselves inside them already.

I offer online and in-person therapy sessions tailored to each client’s or couple’s needs. You can count on being met with empathy and validation in a confidential and judgment-free environment. I approach my clients from a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and attachment-based lens while practicing Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and other therapies, as well as offer psychoeducation and practical tools. 

I work with individuals and couples on such challenges as sexual and relational trauma, grief, intimacy and relationship challenges, life transitions, and other concerns. I also support folks with a variety of sex-related concerns, such as low or decreased desire and desire discrepancy, arousal and orgasm difficulties, unwanted pain during sex, performance anxiety, low sexual confidence and self-esteem. The topics of sexual and gender identity, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, BDSM, kink, fetishes, and others are also safe to explore in session with me. 

I graduated from Yorkville University with a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology with Honours and hold an RCC designation (Registered Clinical Counsellor) with BCACC. I completed The Sexually Competent Therapist training at Allura Sex Therapy Centre, as well as the Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 and Treating Affairs and Trauma trainings.
