Youth Other Counsellors

Life can be overwhelming and challenging, and sometimes we need a space to process, heal, and grow. As a counsellor, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. I chose counselling because I’m passionate about helping others find meaning, heal, and live the life that they desire. The ability to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions and gain clarity is something I deeply value. My approach is client-centered, focusing on understanding each person’s unique experiences and needs, while integrating various therapeutic methods to support growth and resilience. My mission is to guide individuals toward self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, helping them navigate life's challenges with confidence and purpose.

Get To Know Me Personally

  • I take care of myself by spending time in nature, moving my body, and spending time with family and friends.

  • From my own therapeutic experience, I understand the importance of creating a space where clients can explore their true selves, find deeper meaning, and experience lasting healing. I believe that every individual has the capacity to live the life they desire, and my role is to offer the support and understanding needed for that journey. Counselling allows me to walk alongside others as they uncover insights, heal emotional wounds, and create meaningful change in their lives, helping them reconnect with their authentic selves and step into their full potential.

  • I’m proud of my resilience because it has been a guiding force through many different chapters of my life. I feel like I have lived a couple of different lives, each with its own challenges and lessons, but through it all, resilience has allowed me to adapt, grow, and keep moving forward. It’s not about never facing setbacks, but about finding the strength to rise up each time, no matter how tough things get. This resilience has shaped who I am today and continues to inspire me to face new challenges with confidence and determination.

  • When I was growing up, I dreamed of being an artist and a dancer, drawn to the way both art and movement allowed me to express myself in ways words couldn’t.

  • I spend my time hiking with friends and family, trying new recipes in the kitchen, exploring new classes and events, grabbing a coffee, and enjoying downtime.

  • Counselling provides a space for personal growth and self-discovery. Many people come to counselling not because something is “broken,” but because they want to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, or create positive change in their lives. Counselling is about exploring your emotions, behaviours, and patterns in a compassionate environment where you can develop new perspectives and skills to lead a more fulfilling life. It’s a journey of empowerment, helping you build resilience and find the confidence to make choices aligned with your true self.

  • The process of collaborating with someone as they explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and tap into their resilience is truly inspiring.

  • Empathetic, comfortable to be around, and easy to talk to. 

  • “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” – Carl Rogers
