I am a queer white settler, partner, caregiver, educator, and a lover of nature. My passion for counselling began when I was a youth accessing counselling myself. Since then, I have worked with children, youth, and adults in a variety of fields such as youth outreach, mental health, substance use, tutoring, and psychology lab facilitation. I believe my previous experience has given me a breadth of understanding in how to support people across the lifespan with various challenges and needs. As a counsellor, I believe I bring that experience along with a sense of warmth and authenticity to the counselling room. 

Currently, I have completed my coursework in the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and practicums at the SFU Counselling Clinic, Health Initiative for Men (HIM), and QMUNITY. I have had training and/or have studied in the areas of Exposure and Response Prevention, Anxiety Intervention Support, Person Centered Therapy, Interpersonal Process Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Advanced Gender-Affirming Primary Care, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1). I have also completed training in mental health first aid and intercultural communication. Additionally, I am a student in the Gottman Institute’s professional training on Couples Therapy (Level 2) and the Buehler Institute’s Foundations of Sex Therapy Program.
