I believe therapy should be a space where you feel both supported and gently challenged to grow. My work is guided by honesty, trust, and compassion, offering a warm and steady approach to your care. Through our work together, you can gain greater clarity, build stronger boundaries, and develop practical tools to navigate life and relationships with more confidence and resilience. My goal is to create a comfortable, genuine environment where you feel heard and able to explore what matters most to you.

Who I Work Best With
You may be someone who has struggled to open up in the past or isn’t quite sure where to begin in therapy. You might be used to holding a lot inside, trying to manage things on your own, or feeling overwhelmed by what’s happening in your life or relationships.
I often work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, and major life transitions. My background also includes supporting people navigating complex mental health concerns, neurodiversity (including ADHD and ASD), and substance use.
My goal is to create a culturally responsive and LGBTQ2S+ affirming space where you feel respected, safe, and comfortable being yourself. If you’re looking for a place to talk openly, make sense of what you’re going through, and begin finding practical ways forward, we may be a good fit.

What it’s like to Work with Me
My approach to therapy is relationship-focused, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re coming on your own or as part of a couple. I bring authenticity and a grounded, human presence into the therapy room, showing up genuinely alongside you in the process.
In our sessions, we may look at patterns that keep showing up in your life or relationships, explore the experiences that have shaped you, and work toward practical shifts that help you move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.
At the heart of my work is building a strong and authentic therapeutic relationship, where honest conversations and thoughtful reflection can lead to deeper understanding and lasting change. If this approach resonates with you, I welcome you to book a complimentary consultation so we can connect and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.

The human behind the therapist
A few fun facts about me: you can often find me hosting my friends and family with delicious food as cooking is a form of self-care that I love. My goldendoodles are my world, and I love travelling and exploring new cultures. I believe travel has a unique way of helping us learn more about ourselves and the world around us.
My Experience & Training
I hold a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of British Columbia. My clinical experience spans healthcare, community mental health, and youth services, including work with Vancouver Coastal Health, St. Paul’s Hospital, and Covenant House Vancouver. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care and cultural safety, and I have additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).
