Empowering Adults and Athletes to Navigate Life's Challenges, Transitions, and Performance Goals
I'm a licensed therapist with a dedicated focus on adults and athletes. My mission is to guide you through the complexities of life transitions, stress, anxiety, and performance-related challenges.

My personal health challenges led me on a path from adventure guiding to therapy, an experience that opened my eyes to the transformative power of mental health support intertwined with the healing energy of nature. This profound journey inspired me to utilize my extensive educational background in Counselling Psychology, Mental Health and Addictions Studies, Outdoor Adventure, Adventure Therapy, Environmental Leadership and Sustainability, and Indigenous Knowledges and Experiences to offer holistic support.

My vision is to see this private practice evolve into a thriving clinic that provides accessible long-term support and mentorship, a space where you not only find help but also a community that truly understands and supports your mental health needs.

Land Acknowledgement
I would like to acknowledge that I practice and share wellness and therapeutic knowledge on the island of Ktaqmkuk [Uk-dah-hum-gook] (Newfoundland), which I recognize as the traditional, ancestral homelands of the Beothuk [Bee-oth-uk] and the unceded, traditional, and ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq [Mee-gum-maq]. As a practicing therapist and a person I acknowledge all First Peoples who came before us, who live with us now, and the seven generations to come while committing myself to working and living in a spirit of truth and reconciliation. As the Indigenous and First Peoples have done from the time of creation, I strive to work and live a responsible steward of the land and respect the cultures, ceremonies and traditions of all who call it home. As a settler of Turtle Island, I invite all Indigenous and First Peoples to expand or correct this acknowledgement as necessary.
