I am approaching the end of my Master of Arts degree in Counselling at Providence University College & Theological Seminary and I am doing my counselling practicum at Alive Counselling. I am curious about many subjects and have spent time studying business as well as French language. However, I have found that I am particularly passionate about understanding what makes people flourish and come alive and what causes them to struggle. I have worked with kids of all ages as well as young adults in various capacities. Building a strong relationship of trust with my clients and supporting them in a client-centered way is my first priority.

It is a privilege to accompany individuals on their healing journey. I believe that with the right support, people can overcome many difficulties and experience great transformation. By using an integrative approach with an emphasis on emotion focused techniques, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can express their thoughts and emotions. Clients have an opportunity to process life deeply and to create new thought patterns and habits that will serve them better in the long haul. Self-compassion, mindfulness, and sitting with your emotions are a few tools that are helpful in this process. I also love helping clients discover their unique strengths and support them in finding the life paths that will help them to thrive.

I spend much of my time off in the outdoors, whether it’s growing a vegetable garden, going on long hiking trips or skiing with friends.
