About Us

" Hello and welcome. I am a Masters level counsellor (RCC, MA - University of Victoria) who specializes in three main (often overlapping) areas: addictions, neurodivergence and complex trauma. I believe we are all on our own Heros Journey, and as a therapist, my goal is to help you understand who you are and to help you make sense of what happened to you, so that you can move forward in a more conscious and intentional way. Beyond self-awareness, I believe the purpose of therapy is to transform the negative emotional patterns and beliefs that have been influencing your thoughts, behaviors and relationships. ", Many of us live in fear of our emotions and thus spend a lot of energy avoiding or suppressing them. This often leads to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, burnout and/or a sense of nihilism and lack of meaning. In our work together, clients learn how to befriend and process their emotions so that old, unhelpful coping mechanisms are no longer needed. , Of particular interest to me is working with neurodivergent folks, especially those who received an autism or ADHD diagnosis later in life. I was diagnosed with autism in my thirties and am passionate about supporting those who have gone through similar experiences. If any of this speaks to you, please feel free to reach out to book a free consult.
