The first step is a free 15-minute consultation. A chance for you to ask questions, share a little about what's bringing you in, and get a feel for whether we're a good fit.

The first full session is mostly about getting oriented. I'll ask about what's been going on, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping is different on the other side of this. If you're coming in as a couple, we'll also talk about how each of you sees things, individually and together.

A note on pace: I work with most individuals and couples over the long term, often years, not weeks. This isn't because something is wrong or stuck, it's because the kind of change I help people make tends to deepen and hold better with sustained, ongoing work (20+ sessions) rather than a short course of sessions. If you're looking for brief, goal-specific therapy, I'm happy to help point you toward colleagues I trust to find the right fit.

If you're logging in with a baby on your lap, a toddler wandering through, or a kid interrupting mid-sentence, that's okay here! Parenthood doesn't pause for therapy, and I'd rather meet you where you actually are than ask you to pretend otherwise. If you need to pause, nurse, or step out for a minute, we'll just pick back up.

Early sessions tend to focus on mapping the patterns underneath what's happening, the moments that trigger conflict or shutdown, and the unmet needs driving disconnection. From there, the work continues to evolve, through transitions, through repair, through whatever the next season brings.

Sometimes there is “homework”, which can be a conversation to prioritize, some patterns to change, or even some mental gymnastics between sessions.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), my services are often covered, in full or in part, by extended health benefits, including many plans through work or a partner's employer. I'm happy to provide a receipt for direct reimbursement.

I keep my rates steady and transparent. Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to accessing session and as such, I offer a sliding scale to folks who express need. Just reach out!

I value honesty over perfection, and depth over quick fixes.

This work isn’t about becoming “better” or “healed” on paper—it’s about feeling more like yourself again, and more connected to others in the middle of real life.

In couples work, I believe:

• You can be struggling and still deeply committed

• Both partners’ experiences matter, even when they conflict

• Repair is more important than getting it right the first time

• The good in your relationship deserves just as much attention as the hard

In individual work, I believe:

• You can be struggling and still be a good mother

• Your needs matter, not just the ones you're meeting for everyone else

• Understanding why you feel the way you do is more useful than fixing it faster

• The parts of you that existed before this season deserve just as much attention as the ones that are overwhelmed by it

I truly value transparency and respect in the therapeutic relationship. You’ll always know where I stand, and you’ll always be met with care, never judgment.

I hold a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology and a Perinatal Mental Health Certificate (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International, one of the most respected designations in this field. My clinical focus has always been the perinatal period: not as a niche I landed in by accident, but one I sought out deliberately post-grad because I believe it's one of the most psychologically rich and underserved seasons of a person's life.

Alongside my private practice, I present at perinatal mental health conferences on the relational complexity of this period. Most recently, I presented on Couples' Adjacent Therapy, how to hold the relational dynamic when only one partner is in the room, drawing on EFT, IFS, and attachment-based approaches.

Before becoming a therapist, I was fully immersed in the fine arts. More than just a quirky fun fact, it genuinely shapes how I work: I'm trained to think critically, sit with ambiguity, and notice what's underneath the surface before jumping to conclusions.

I'm based in Tofino, BC, and work virtually with clients across British Columbia. I'm also a parent to 2 spicy kids, which means I bring lived experience to this work alongside the clinical training. I know firsthand how fast things can shift in this season, and how much it matters to have someone in your corner who actually gets it.
