I was born in Montreal and my need to see the horizon from a pebbled shore or a mountain ridge brought me to Squamish. Outside of my work, I enjoy runs in the woods, take care of my plot at the local community garden and explore solo and with friends. And just sitting with a cup of coffee and a good book can be plenty. 

I have been working in the mental health field for about 15 years, and started my private practice in 2019. In addition to my private practice I work part-time for Foundry Virtual, where I provide mental health support to youth and young adults.

A meeting with me is like having a conversation with someone who has your best interests in mind. Being a counsellor is more than just being an empathetic ear! I find helpful to have clear goals and articulate how ‘feeling better’ would look like for you. Our work starts from your needs and wants, and will be influenced by your individual strenghts, abilities and experiences. I ask for regular feedback to make sure that the process aligns with expectations. I may suggest some readings or exercices for you to do in between sessions.

My approach in counselling is trauma-informed and principaly influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I completed training on other therapeutic modalities that can be used depending on the situation, like solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing or DBT. I have sought specific education on ADHD and attachment as well. I am also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which is a form of treatment specific to individuals who are struggling with trauma and PTSD.

I engage in regular clinical supervision, peer consultation and continuing education to expand my knowledge and skills as a therapist. 

My office is safe for all genders, sexual orientations and ethnicities.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC#15433).
