My journey into working with kids began in the most unexpected way—at just 10 years old, I started a babysitters club in my neighbourhood. I may have been a child myself, but that didn’t stop me from organizing a team, meeting a need in my community, and discovering my passion for supporting children and families. That early spark has grown into a career as a Clinical Counsellor, where I’m dedicated to helping young children, preteens, and their families thrive through life’s challenges.

I earned my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, specializing in Children and Youth, from Adler University in Vancouver, BC. I’ve also trained as an AutPlay Therapy Provider and am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), equipping me to offer tailored, neurodiversity-affirming care. My experience spans a variety of roles and settings, including working as an Educational Assistant with the Vancouver School Board, supporting neurodiverse children in after-school programs, and providing in-home support to families with preschoolers.

One of my greatest passions is infant and early mental health, and I’ve completed a foundations course in this area. I believe that building a strong emotional foundation during these early years can make a world of difference for children and their families.

When we work together, you can expect a warm, culturally sensitive, and strengths-based approach. I love incorporating play therapy to meet children exactly where they are, helping them feel seen, heard, and empowered. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where your child’s unique strengths can shine and where your family can grow, heal, and thrive.

Outside of work, I bring creativity and curiosity to everything I do. With a background as an award-winning lead in film and TV, I have a deep love for storytelling and performing arts. I’m always up for a good musical or a captivating story. Since moving to Victoria, I’ve been exploring the city’s beauty and dreaming of the day I can welcome a puppy into my life—stay tuned for updates on that!

I know reaching out for support can feel like a big step, but I’m here to make the journey as approachable and comfortable as possible. Together, we’ll create a space where your child feels nurtured and your family feels supported every step of the way.
