As a Counsellor based in Vancouver, Canada, I work online and in-person with people of all genders, orientations, and backgrounds. At the heart of what I do is deep listening. This means, I not only listen when you speak, but I attune myself to the meaning and emotions underneath your words. I want to understand who you are, so that we can explore the issues, concerns, and patterns that are impacting your life. During our sessions, I create both a gentle and deliberate pacing to support you to navigate your own healing and growth.

Over the last two decades, I’ve worked in non-profits, consulting, social justice, and the arts in remote areas and urban centres with Indigenous communities, newcomers, and Canadian citizens. My decision to pursue a career in counselling arose from a profound desire to listen deeply to my environment, to others, and within the self. I am no stranger to pain. I understand that life does not always go in the direction we want. And I have benefited immensely from the therapy that I have received throughout my life. From this, I have learned that it takes a great deal of courage to live authentically.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, Member of the Adlerian Psychology Association of BC, and a 2024 Launchpad Fellowship Recipient. In my personal journey, I have drawn strength from my relationships built in community and from matriarch leaders. This education has informed all aspects of my life, including my work as a counsellor. I have also enjoyed education in institutional settings and have completed several advanced degrees and trainings. These include a Master’s of Counselling Psychology from Adler University, a Master of Arts in Acoustic Communication from Simon Fraser University, Internal Family Systems (IFS) training, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Observed & Experiential Integration (OEI).

To fuel my creative spirit, I have an active Sound Art practice and I produce podcasts. I also grow a garden. Being in or on the water with family and friends brings me great joy and I love hanging around on boats. I was born and raised on the North Shore of Vancouver in the territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, where I am now based. These lands and waters have shaped who I have become and how I belong to the world. I am grateful for the people who have stewarded these territories for tens of thousands of years, so that we can be here today.
