How I Can Help You
If you’re a caring, thoughtful person who’s been running on empty, I might be a good fit. I often work with people who look steady on the outside yet feel anxious, burnt out, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns. You might be in healthcare, frontline work, or self‑employment. Together, we might move toward feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, clearer in relationships, and more able to set boundaries that hold.
My style is relational, warm, and steady. We’ll go at a pace that feels manageable. I tend to slow things down, help you notice what’s happening in the moment, and make space for feelings without pressure or judgment. We might explore how earlier experiences show up now and try small, practical shifts between sessions. I’m sex‑positive and welcoming of all genders and sexualities. Sessions may be reflective, sometimes gently challenging, and hopefully grounding.
Issues I Can Help With
I started working in the mental health field in 2016 doing outreach work in Edmonton, Alberta, supporting folks affected by addiction, trauma, and marginalization. After moving to Vancouver in 2020, I continued outreach work in the Downtown Eastside. In addition to being a part of the Safe Space team, I also work as a Concurrent Disorders Counsellor in public health supporting people experiencing addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and chronic pain.

What happens in the first session?
We’ll talk about what brings you in, what you hope might change, and what’s felt hard. I’ll ask a few gentle questions and we’ll agree on next steps.
Do you offer virtual or in‑person sessions?
Yes, both. I offer in‑person in Vancouver and secure video or phone.
How soon might I notice a shift?
