From the very beginning, my work has been rooted in a simple belief: when people feel safe, seen, and supported, they begin to reconnect with their strength, voice, and sense of possibility.

My path into counselling began through quiet, meaningful moments — listening to seniors share wisdom in assisted-living settings, sitting with survivors of abuse as they reclaimed their sense of safety and self-worth, and supporting adults with developmental disabilities as they expressed creativity, humour, and resilience in everyday life. In each of these spaces, I learned that healing is less about fixing and more about being with — bearing witness to humanity, dignity, and hope. They have shaped me into a counsellor who leads with steadiness, respect, curiosity, and care.

I am also passionate about community. Through workshops on abuse awareness and self-compassion, I strive to help communities deepen emotional resilience, recognize patterns of harm and safety, and practice more sustainable ways of relating to themselves and one another. It has been a gift to offer these sessions in seniors’ programs, young-adult groups, women's organizations, and other community spaces — each time reminded of how powerful shared learning can be.

Across every setting, I continue to be moved by the quiet strength people carry — and the courage it takes to heal, grow, and imagine a life that feels safe and meaningful. My approach is trauma-informed, gentle, collaborative, and deeply human. Together, we’ll move at your pace, honouring your story, wisdom, and lived experience.
