It is human nature that we all find ourselves struggling, in emotional pain or unsure how to move forward at certain times in our lives. Talking to someone can help us develop clarity and understanding of our struggles. I can help you navigate through these times so you can begin to tap into your natural ability to heal. In a safe and supportive environment I will guide you to deepen your own insights and self-awareness. I work with you to help you begin to understand, and put words to your feelings and experiences. When we can articulate our emotions and struggles it helps us to begin to create a sense of understanding and control in our lives. My role is to support you as you move through and release feelings such as anger, anxiety, shame, self-criticism, loneliness, and grief. My goal is to help you develop self-compassion and find hope and joy in your life again.

I am a Trauma focused therapist, I support people who have experienced difficulties and challenges at any stage in their life. I strive to understand your experiences so that I can implement the best therapeutic approach for your situation. I utilize my advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy in order to achieve this. In session, I use a holistic and attachment based approach to connect with you. When all of this comes together it allows us to work to empower you on your healing journey.

Professionally, I completed my Master’s of Arts degree and am now a designated Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) through BCACC and a certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA. On my professional journey I have worked with children, youth, families, parents, foster parents and seniors. My work has afforded me hope as I have witnessed that no matter how big a problem feels; human nature wants to keep moving forward and restore balance in our lives.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds” - Paul the Apostle

I grew up in Quebec, where I obtained a diploma in Arts/Communications. After completing a Bachelor in Outdoor Adventure Tourism in 2008, I moved to Revelstoke, and I’ve been here ever since! I completed a Masters of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and I am registered with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I have also completed EMDR basic training to add to the modalities that I already work with.

I’m inspired by connections with people and believe that every person holds within themselves their infinite potential. I view life as a journey of a thousand experiences—shaped by our perception. I strive to work with clients’ uniqueness, providing a tailored approach where they feel empowered toward reaching their goals.

I provide a non-judgmental space, filled with empathy and unconditional positive regard. Depending on the client’s needs, their personality and interests, I implement various treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic/Body awareness techniques and Hypnosis.

I also work with couples develop secure-functioning relationships. I use experiential methods from evidenced-based modalities, rooted in neuroscience, attachment theory and the biology of human arousal.

I believe nurturing our mental health is an incredible gift we can give to ourselves.

Research has shown that our brain and body have an innate ability to heal. In our work together, we will use your mind and body’s natural ability to heal and bring you back to balance.

Whether you are experiencing significant life changes, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, chronic pain, depression, or trauma, by applying EMDR, we will get to the root of core issues and begin the healing process towards a long lasting state of well-being.

For the past few years, I have focused my work on helping people align with what’s most important to them. Through these experiences, I have been constantly inspired at how much more resourceful and resilient people are when the right conditions are created.

With a strong foundation in Child & Youth Care (CYC), mental health, addictions, and social justice, I am committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to clients of all ages.

My clinical experience includes supporting individuals, youth, and families in schools, clinics, and community-based organizations across Greater Victoria. I integrate EMDR therapy with somatic (body-based) approaches, relational care, and evidence-based trauma recovery models. I strive to create culturally safe, inclusive, and accessible spaces for all clients, and offer a warm, affirming, and non-judgmental space for healing—either in-person in Victoria or virtually anywhere in BC.

My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and strength-based. I believe in meeting clients where they’re at, helping them build meaningful coping strategies, and supporting their journey toward holistic wellness. Every client is unique, and I tailor my support to help you move forward in ways that align with your goals, values, and needs.
