You are welcome here. It's safe for you to show up exactly as you are with me, and I am here to meet you where you're at. I will walk alongside you on your personal journey of healing and self-discovery. I will support you, empower you and equip you with a toolkit of teachings to confidently face life's challenges, and overcome barriers to health and well-being.
I am here to collaborate with you as you persue your self-identified goals and I am here to provide you with a safe space to work through the challenges you are facing without judgment, pressure or persuasion.
I am here to teach you practices and skills to manage your thoughts and emotions, handle stress and personal triggers and develop and fulfill meaningful intentions.
I am here to help you recognize and harness your innate wisdom, strengths and abilities and enhance your emotional intelligence. I am here to offer you compassion, acceptance and encouragement while you process difficult emotions and painful past experiences. I am here to provide you with assistance in helping you shift out of problematic behavioural patterns and difficult life circumstances.
Helping people transform their pain and suffering into wisdom, peace and joy is the primary intention of my work and my greatest passion. It is an incredible honour to accompany my clients on their healing journeys. To hear them share their stories, bear witness to their pain and resilience, and stand by their side as they develop the capacity to love and accept all parts of themselves.
I practice within a client-centred, harm reduction and anti-oppressive framework and I utilize a trauma-informed, solution-focused and strength-based approach.
I have extensive experience collaborating with community-based organizations to provide support for both youth and adults with substance abuse/addiction and concurrent mental health concerns, including individuals with various intersecting issues such as gender-based abuse/violence and involvement in the criminal justice system.
I am a passionate mental health and human rights advocate who believes that education, awareness and collaboration are fundamental in building stronger, healthier, more compassionate communities where deep healing and transformation is possible and everyone is afforded the opportunity to thrive.
