Why virtual counselling
Modern technologies have allowed for us to access therapy from the comfort of home where we can more easily attune to our needs, ground, and take care of ourselves post session
why art therapy
Art Therapy allows for us to connect with our innermost thoughts and feelings without the need for language
You do NOT need to be an artist or even ‘artistic’ to benefit from Art Therapy
Counselling & Art Therapies
Creating a plan that works for you
You may only want or need brief therapy focussed on specific solutions for a specific problem or you may be coping with more complex traumas that require a greater number of sessions for exploration and healing. Regardless of what has brought you here, we can create a plan that will work for you.

For the past 14 years, I have had the privilege of working as a Registered Nurse, with most of my career dedicated to mental health and supporting people from all walks of life through challenging periods of their lives. I am a Certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse, and am currently completing my training in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
My years in mental health nursing have taught me that people are much more than the difficulties that bring them through the door. Behind every struggle is a person with a unique history, strengths, relationships, values, and hopes for the future. I approach counselling with curiosity, compassion, and respect, recognizing that meaningful change often begins when people feel genuinely heard and understood. I believe counselling is most effective when it is collaborative—when therapist and client work together to understand what is happening, to identify strengths and possibilities, and to determine what meaningful change might look like in each specific case.
Yellowknife has been my home for over five years, and I am particularly interested in finding ways to contribute to our vibrant community. I hope to do so by providing a welcoming, respectful, and non-judgmental space where people can speak openly about the challenges they are facing and feel supported as they work toward greater well-being. I look forward to working with you, and assisting you on your journey toward mental wellness!
