About

We Listen, Act, & Transform

Feeling disoriented, deflated and just tired can make it hard to experience joy. How can I walk alongside of you? Are you ready to regain balance? To break cyclical behaviours and thoughts? Or to grow in deeper intimacy in your relationships. My specialty is most helpful for individuals, couples and groups looking to navigate life’s challenges. I believe that experiencing freedom brings out the best version of you. In sessions, I offer grace and ease to allow you to feel safe, seen and heard. You and I will confidentially work together towards lasting change. It takes courage to begin the counselling process and I am happy you found me. For over a span of 15 years, my career journey has led me though various public institutions such as the criminal justice system, child welfare system and municipal government. I have passionately worked as a public servant leader committed to driving results and change in my communities. I have deep interest in meaningful strategies that fostering reconciliation, belonging, and recognition for equity deserving groups. In more recent years, I am privileged to offer counselling services; facilitate provincial equity and anti-black racism courses; and lecture in the behavioural psychology and behavioural science program.
