To be honest, counselling was never something I originally envisioned for myself. I was raised in a family of first responders, withing a European cultural background where strength often meant pushing feelings aside and carrying on. Vulnerability was not encouraged; resilience was.  Maybe that sounds familiar to you, too.

I started my career working with children and youth in a variety of settings, such as schools, crisis programs and a group home.  As my career progressed, i enrolled in a Masters program in Counselling Psychology. It was during my clinical placement that everything shifted. I began working wtih adults living wtih complex trauma, primarily first responders and veterans, and witnessed firsthand how therapy could support healing from life-altering experiences. I saw how safety, connection, and understanding could emerge where there had once been only survival.

For over six years I have had the privilege of walking alongside indivudals as they heal emotional wounds, establish healthy boundaries, and reconnect with themselves. Time and again, I have seen how meaningful change unfolds when someone feels truly seen, heard, and supported.

At the heart of my work is a deep respect for each person’s unique story, along wtih an understanding of how trauma lives in both the mind and body. Healing begins with compassion, curiosity, and the belief that growth and reconnection are possible- even after long periods of simply surviving.
