I have been a deep feeler and sensitive soul since I was very young. Just about any personality quiz I’ve ever taken identifies me in some way or another as “the advocate” and I think this fits me pretty well!

I have 7 years of experience as a psychotherapist and have been on my own therapeutic journey off and on throughout most of my life. I have a deep and very personal understanding about the struggle of perfectionism and the self-imposed pressure, fear of failure and often unattainable standards that come with it. I know grief very well, having experienced significant loss in my life - many just within the last few years.

I also know what it’s like to feel like an outlier and that you don’t quite “fit in” with the people around you. I understand this on a few levels, but primarily as someone who is living vegan in a non-vegan world and also as a woman who has made the conscious decision not to have children. Although, I often joke that I actually have 25 children because I also run an animal sanctuary, which I absolutely love!

I have always felt a strong connection with animals and been drawn towards wanting to help others. I am deeply passionate about both human and animal rights. I value peace and equality and do what I can in working towards a world free from discrimination and oppression. I am reconnecting with my Indigenous heritage, but feel this has always held a strong presence for me in the way I view the world and how I choose to move through life, feeling guided by my ancestors - seeking balance and harmony.

It’s always a helpful reminder that while I am a psychotherapist, I am also a human being, just like you, and I know how difficult and painful life can be. No matter what you’re going through - I see you. I can’t say I know exactly what you’re going through but what I can do is offer you a safe space for us to explore what you’ve been through, where you are today and what lies ahead for you. If you're looking for trauma informed, compassionate, non-stigmatizing and person-centered therapy, I am here and excited to support you on your journey.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little more about me. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working together!
