Practice information:

With over a decade of social service experience and a certified clinical counsellor (CCC), registered clinical counsellor (RCC) and master of counselling (MC), as well as outside workshops and programs, my dedication to research has allowed me to bridge the gaps between limiting office experiences, and fluffy no results counselling. From a psycho-educational and therapeutic background, I am capable of creating a professionally catered treatment plan personalized to client’s addressing concerns in brief counselling or long-term therapy depending upon the needs, financial ability, and goals. My innovative treatment plans have grown my following of parents, couples, executives and professionals, and non-profit clientele who wish to reach their most fulfilling life. With high therapeutic intuition and attention to detail, collectively, we can put together the puzzle of your unique concerns. Collaboratively creating treatment plans that address the internal self with results-driven outcomes.

My passion for the industry entails a commitment to continually improving my knowledge of counselling best practices. I have a particular interest and expertise in parenting, marriage and family. My discernment and care mean that you will always be in great hands. It is what keeps clients coming back. I seek to empower you to lead the life you want. 

My approach to the therapeutic session is in my belief that “every person longs to be understood and accepted for whom they are while striving towards their most fulfilling life.” I believe the essential aspect of the therapy is the relationship, supported by mutual respect, trust, and dignity with each client. I seek to create space for you to feel heard, accepted and celebrated for who you are and your unique experiences, traumas and opportunities that have formed the person you are today. I am keen to collectively uncover and understand the reason you’ve come to counselling in the way you see it. In short: What is important to you. I seek to give clients the skills to elevate their lives, not relying on professionals, offering psycho-educational skills and therapeutic support, and empowering you to lead your most fulfilling life.
