ABOUT
I'm a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC # 2669), trained in Transpersonal Psychology, Holistic Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing.
I work with clients that struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, fatigue, burnout, procrastination, lack of meaning and purpose, shyness, perfectionism, depression, self esteem, hyper-vigilance, fear of intimacy, body dysmorphia, and self-isolation. Clients I work with also get help in developing healthy boundaries, considering choices from a place of empowerment, and being more present in their lives.
In my mid to late twenties, depression came my way as I was finishing up Art School. This difficult experience led me to seek help from a counsellor. I found the immersion into therapy very valuable to me as it gave me the support necessary to allow me to feel what was going on inside; something which was very unfamiliar to me up until that point. I also discovered yoga at that time as well, and some years later trained to become a yoga and meditation teacher. I continued along this path of developing my capacity to be of help to others and eventually realized my dream to work as a counsellor. The path of healing has been a long one that I don’t think will ever end; however, the key for me is the understanding that it can be okay if struggle shows up…that you can know your value, no matter what upset is occurring, and still have a choice in how you want to show up in the world.
