I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC#24295) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I hold a Master's of Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and a Bachelor's (with Distinction) in Psychology from Simon Fraser University. Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years supporting underresourced children and youth in community-based settings through nonviolent crisis intervention, advocacy, and recreational programming.

I am a white, queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent settler of mixed European descent. I have lived in the Lower Mainland for over 10 years and am immensely grateful to call this land my home. When not working, you can most often find me crafting, sharing food with loved ones, spending time in natural spaces, gaming, and shamelessly loving on my silly cat who never fails to make me smile after a challenging day. 😺
