We don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason.

I hadn't planned on becoming a psychotherapist, and the path that led me to becoming one was definitely not a straight line.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Design from the Alberta University of the Arts in 2002,  then moved to New York City, where I worked as a graphic designer in the magazine publishing industry for the next four years.

I then returned home to Victoria, and continued to work as a graphic designer, but I also began the hard work of healing from my own past traumas. I realized I wasn't really living—I was surviving. Through counselling, I began to reclaim parts of myself that I thought I had lost. I began volunteering and working at a transition house for women and children fleeing violence, and was filled with a new sense of purpose and passion. I decided to go back to school and completed my Masters of Art in Counselling Psychology in 2012.

Over the next eight years I gained experience working as a registered clinical counsellor for non-profit organizations, and in 2020 I opened my private practice. 

I strive to continue to grow and learn as I receive ongoing professional and personal development and regular consultation. I also enjoy being part of a facilitation team with Lisa Mortimore's Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy trainings.

I am honoured and grateful to have been called to do this work, and  I look forward to accompanying you on your healing journey and the paths you travel.
