Healing begins with safety—the kind that makes it possible to show up fully without masking, minimizing, or editing your experience to be accepted. In my work as an intern counsellor at Inner Ballance Solutions, I offer a space where you can be real, feel supported, and explore your inner world with honesty, curiosity, and compassion.
My approach is client-centred and integrative, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, somatic and mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-informed care. I pay close attention to the nervous system and the ways the body holds stress, working collaboratively to restore regulation and reconnect you with what matters most.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 15 years in healthcare—including time as a paramedic—which shaped my understanding of crisis, resilience, and the deep need for spaces where people can slow down and be seen. My lived experience with ADHD, ASD, trauma, grief, and burnout continues to inform my work in meaningful ways.
I support individuals navigating grief, trauma, identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I also bring experience working with bereaved children and youth and their caregivers, as well as with neurodivergent and LGBTQ2S+ clients.
Clients often describe me as grounding, warm, intuitive, and gentle. I build safety through authenticity and a genuine interest in getting to know people beneath the surface. You don’t have to carry everything alone—or keep masking to be accepted. This is a space where you can be yourself.
