About Me
My journey into mental health began over 20 years ago as a Registered Nurse, driven by a passion for supporting people through life’s most difficult moments. Early in my career, I worked as a psychiatric nurse supporting individuals experiencing acute mental health challenges. It was there that I learned the importance of meeting people with empathy, compassion, and dignity.
Later I transfered into public health, supporting families and school-aged children by promoting mental wellness.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families during some of their most vulnerable and challenging moments, and throughout it all, I have always led with compassion, curiosity, and a genuine belief in each person’s capacity to heal.
​
My passion for mental wellness, along with my own lived experience with trauma and neurodivergence, inspired me to further my education and deepen my ability to support others in a more specialized way. This led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, allowing me to provide more focused, trauma-informed care for individuals navigating trauma, emotional challenges, and mental health concerns.
​
My commitment to helping others has also been shaped by a strong passion for continued education and professional growth. In addition to my Master’s degree, I have pursued advanced certifications and specialized training to deepen my knowledge and ensure I can offer evidence-based, effective, and compassionate care. I believe learning is an ongoing process, and I remain committed to continually expanding my skills so I can better support the unique needs of the individuals I work with.
​
Today, I bring together over two decades of nursing experience, advanced counselling training, specialized certifications, and lived experience to offer a whole-person, mind-body approach to healing.​​ At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in safe, compassionate relationships. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered as you move toward greater balance, understanding, and wellness.
