ABOUT ME
My passion is to support clients in reconnecting with their most authentic, expansive selves.
Together we can deeply explore identity, purpose, and emotions that have not yet had a voice, in a compassionate, judgement-free space.
I honour the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit and believe that healing isn’t just about symptom relief, but about stepping into the fullness of who you are.
Whether you're feeling stuck, seeking clarity, or navigating life transitions, I will walk with you from a place of warmth, curiosity, and care—holding space for both your current difficulties and your great potential.
Let's walk together on your journey to yourself
ISSUES I WORK WITH
Anxiety/depression
Life changes & purpose seeking
Sexuality & Gender Identity
Cultural isolation/discrimination
Self-esteem
Spirituality
Creativity & self-expression
Artistic exploration
POPULATIONS I WORK WITH
Adults across Canada
LGBTQ+ communities
BIPOC communities
Artists (performers, writers, visual artists, etc.)
I work with adults who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves, their sense of purpose, and their self-expression.
I am particularly invested in supporting artists who are struggling with their creative expression and those living in the margins or cultural systems like LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
Note: I currently don't work with people under the age of 18 or couples
