As your counsellor, coach and healer, 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 wellness.

I practice within an harm reduction framework and I utilize a trauma-informed, solution-focused and action-oriented approach. In addition to being seen and heard, I will be there to guide you, mentor you, uplift you and assist you in tapping into and harnessing your own innate wisdom, strengths and abilities in order to heal past traumas, develop and implement effective solutions, achieve your goals and ultimately—reach your highest potential.

I will work cooperatively with you as your teacher and guide, while you navigate personal challenges and learn to master your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, gifts and abilities. I’ll offer you nourishment, counsel and inspiration and teach you practical strategies for working through difficult emotions and painful past experiences. I’ll provide you with support in reframing negative thought-forms and limiting beliefs and help you shift out of problematic behavioural patterns and difficult life circumstances.

Helping people transform their wounds into strength and wisdom and their pain into vitality and purpose, is my expertise and my greatest passion. I take pride in helping others see their inherent value and worth through genuine empathy, compassion, connection and advocacy, as well as by drawing on years of professional education and training, personal lived experience, insight and intuition.

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 offer a client-centred, strength-based, holistic approach to Counselling and Coaching that focuses on collaboration and personal empowerment. My clients are invited to show up as they are and are welcomed and supported within a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space.

I am a passionate mental health and human rights advocate who believes that education and awareness are fundamental in building stronger, healthier, more compassionate communities where deep healing and transformation is possible and everyone is afforded the opportunity to thrive.
