About Me

​

​​​

I know what it is like to be in the darkest part of the healing journey. I know what it takes to move through pain and actually come out the other side, not just survive it, but genuinely heal. That is what brought me to this work, and it is what I carry into every session. While I would never claim to know your experience, that personal road through healing is part of what allows me to show up for yours with something beyond technique. It is a kind of presence that is hard to teach.

 

I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, pmdd, painful relationship patterns. The kind that show up as people pleasing, fear of abandonment, emotional shutdown, or never quite feeling safe enough to be fully yourself with another person. Often these patterns have been there so long they just feel like you. They are not. And they can change.

 

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, a Brainspotting Phase One Practitioner, and trained in Level One Hypnotherapy, with my Clinical Hypnotherapy training continuing this fall. These approaches matter to me because they work with the brain and body together, reaching places that conversation alone sometimes cannot. I also draw from somatic and nervous system work, polyvagal theory, and vagus nerve healing, because real healing happens when the whole body feels safe, not just the mind. If you have ever felt like you know what you should do but still cannot seem to change it, that is exactly the gap these approaches are designed to close.

 

I see clients in person in Abbotsford and online across Canada. Online counselling is something I feel strongly about because it removes so many of the barriers that keep people from getting support. No commute, no waiting room, no rearranging your whole day. Just you, wherever you are, doing real and meaningful work. If you are wondering whether online can go as deep as in person, the answer is yes. Absolutely yes.

 

Outside of sessions you will find me on dirt roads, near water, at lakes and rivers in the mountains, tending to my garden, or sitting beside a fire somewhere quiet. A slower, more grounded way of living is where I found my own footing, and those values show up in how I work. I believe in slowing down. I believe in the nervous system's capacity to heal. And I believe the relationship between a client and their therapist is one of the most powerful parts of the whole process.

 

The people I work with matter deeply to me. I show up fully in every session, and I take the privilege of being trusted with someone's inner world seriously. Nothing has brought me more purpose than walking alongside someone through the hardest and most transformative chapters of their life.

 

If any part of this resonates, I would love to connect.
