Women’s Sexual Health – I am passionate about moving women to a place where they feel comfortable, knowledgeable, self-aware, and empowered about their sexual health. I come from a sex-positive lens that helps to foster healing, normalize experiences, and increase self-acceptance and self-confidence in sexual identity and sexuality.
Relationships - I understand both the complexity and significance that exist in relationships. Our work together may look like: increasing awareness of existing dynamics and patterns, moving towards repairing and rebuilding when trust has been broken, learning helpful communication and conflict resolution skills, examining any obstacles preventing emotional and/or sexual intimacy, and/or guidance with transitioning out of a relationship.
As a therapist, you can expect both a warmth and directive approach. Working from an Adlerian approach entails providing you with new skills, insights, and clarity towards processing and healing. Together we get curious about how interconnected parts, including your physical body, contain messages; tuning in and listening can often help us gain insights that can provide inner peace and confidence as we navigate through life. My intention is to create a safe space where you feel encouraged to authentically face this journey of growth - a place where you feel heard, respected, and empowered - towards what feels right for you!
Outside of work, I’m drawn to the pleasures of life, and for me that looks like tending to flowers, savoring a good cup of coffee in the morning, or finding good music that matches my mood. It also often looks like time with friends, often out in nature. This to me feels essential. When I remember to take a deep breath of fresh air amongst the trees, I feel grounded and revived. Always seeking balance between my professional and personal life with small restorative moments.
I am Registered Clinical Counsellor, and a graduate from Adler University with a Masters in Counselling Psychology. My experience with mental health is both personal and professional. Professionally, I have worked within mental health services for over fifteen years in both British Columbia and Manitoba for non-profits, government sectors, and in private practice. I have experience in and feel comfortable supporting those who identify as LGBTQ2S+, those struggling with substance use/addictions, sexual health issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and many other mental health concerns.
