Living in the struggle of active addiction is not easy. Finding the right addiction rehab facility, detox centre and after care can be just as hard. Addiction counselling is an added bonus into your journey of recovery. I am eager to work towards change with those who’s lives are impacted by addiction. I am purposeful about removing the stigma of addiction and helping to inform and educate people. Addiction is a chronic illness. People who have it are likely to relapse. I can guide you toward the proper pathways and help aid in that preventative care. I am here and motivated in joining you on what will become a transformation into your own unique journey.

I am a Master’s student in Counselling at City University of Seattle. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Alberta.
First of all, I want to thank you for taking this first step in coming to therapy. I know it can be difficult but I truly admire your courage in overcoming this challenge. I’m confident you’ll continue to overcome many more in the future. As a master’s student in counselling, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and encouraging space where my clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Growing up in a BIPOC community, I experienced firsthand the difficulty of not always having a space to share my experiences. Because of that, I strive to be a source of support where all my clients can feel comfortable, seen, and heard. During our sessions, I will take an empathetic, client-centred approach to build a strong therapeutic relationship while providing interventions that best meet your unique needs. Thank you for trusting me and I hope we can work together to support you the best way possible.
A little bit about me: I love rom-coms and cheesecakes. During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I love to cafe hop as well :D
