Welcome

Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly a decade of combined work as a registered nurse and travel nurse across Northern and Western Canada. Through nursing and my own experience as a client in therapy, I came to understand how we’re shaped by trauma, systems, and the conditions we’re asked to survive within. My involvement in the anti-violence sector and caring for underserved communities taught me the importance of harm reduction and community care, values that continue to guide my practice today. My work is also deeply informed by my own lived experiences of trauma. Along the way, I’ve learned that healing is never forceful (unfortunately, it can’t simply be checked off the to-do list).

In addition to being a therapist, I still work casually as a NICU nurse. Outside of work, I love spending long days outside exploring the local mountains and trails. I’ve summited over 120 mountains now despite not growing up this way. I moved out west from Winnipeg in 2021 and still like to blame my uphill breathlessness on my prairie lungs. Lately, I’ve been getting curious about the world of triathlon, so swimming and cycling are also becoming new, fun ways to move outside. I also like to eat pasta, thrift, cook, bake, read, and relax at home.
