About me
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I hold an Associate Degree in Psychology and completed my professional counselling education in Vancouver, where I received 1,725 hours of intensive therapeutic training, followed by a year-long, 240-hour Compassionate Inquiry program with Dr. Gabor Maté.
For over a decade, I have supported individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, family stress, and emotional overwhelm.
My intention is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, explore your inner world, and reconnect with your strengths. As an immigrant, a mother, and someone who has faced adversity firsthand, I carry a deep respect for human resilience. These experiences shape my belief that healing is nurtured through connection, honesty, and compassionate self-reflection.
I continue to expand my skills through ongoing education in trauma work, somatics, attachment, and other therapeutic approaches. My goal is to offer the highest quality support possible, so my clients receive care that reflects the most effective methods available.
I offer both online therapy and Walk & Talk sessions in the Comox Valley. My approach is collaborative, paced gently, and grounded in respect for your autonomy and lived experience.
Supporting clients across the Comox Valley — including Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland — and online throughout BC.
What can I help with
Trauma Counselling
Support for childhood trauma, emotional wounds, C-PTSD, and nervous system dysregulation.
I help clients process triggers, flashbacks, shame, people-pleasing patterns, chronic overwhelm, and difficulty feeling safe or grounded in their bodies.
Anxiety Counselling
Practical and compassionate support for anxiety, panic, constant worry, perfectionism, stress-related symptoms, overwhelm, and burnout.
I help clients rebuild confidence and respond rather than react.
Walk & Talk Therapy
Outdoor sessions that blend movement, nature, and emotional processing.
Ideal for clients experiencing stress, anxiety, rumination, burnout, or difficulty opening up in an online setting.
Relationship Counselling
Support with communication difficulties, conflict, emotional disconnection, attachment wounds, patterns from childhood, and challenges with partners, children, co-parents, or family members.
Emotional Regulation & Self-Worth
Help with low self-esteem, harsh inner critic, shame, guilt, people-pleasing, emotional instability, and difficulty setting healthy boundaries.
Stress, Burnout & Life Transitions
Support for chronic stress, exhaustion, change fatigue, parenting stress, and feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or directionless.
Depression & Emotional Overwhelm
Gentle, grounded support for sadness, emotional numbness, hopelessness, loss of motivation, isolation, and difficulty coping with daily life.

Guidance for parents dealing with children’s behavioural challenges, emotional regulation issues, conflict, stress, and communication difficulties.

Online Counselling Across BC
Secure, accessible therapy for clients anywhere in British Columbia.
Emotional support and healing
If you’re feeling fearful, worried, anxious, sad, or angry, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore these emotions, including those linked to past trauma. Together, we’ll look at their roots, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping so you can regain balance and move forward with more ease.
Stress & Anxiety
I provide practical tools and gentle guidance to help you reduce stress, manage anxiety, and navigate life’s challenges more calmly. Together, we work on strategies that fit your lifestyle and personal needs.
Personal Growth
Through compassionate conversation and guided exercises, I help you reconnect with your inner strengths, clarify your values, and uncover insights that support lasting personal growth and self-awareness. I also provide guidance on family relationship challenges, parenting, and life coaching to help you navigate your personal and family life with greater clarity and confidence.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
What type of therapy do you offer?
I offer individual therapy that blends evidence-based approaches with compassionate, client-centred support. This includes work with trauma, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship challenges, and personal growth. Sessions can be held virtually or outdoors in nature through “Walk and Talk Therapy,” which combines movement with conversation to create a grounding and supportive environment.

Sessions & Logistics
How long is a typical session?
50 minutes.
How often should I come to therapy?
The frequency depends on your goals and needs. Many clients start with weekly sessions, then adjust as progress is made. We’ll collaborate to find a pace that works best for you.
What happens during the first session?
During the first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and your situation. We’ll discuss your current challenges, goals, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This is also a chance for you to ask questions, learn about my approach, and together we’ll create a personalized plan for your therapy journey. It’s a safe, non-judgmental space to begin exploring your thoughts, feelings, and patterns.
Can I switch between online and outdoor sessions?
Of course, anytime.
