At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), MA in Counselling Psychology
I have experience working with young adults who present with various struggles, specifically (but not limited to) issues related to relationships, trauma, and anxiety. A positive therapeutic relationship with each client is crucial, in my opinion, and this is what I aim to develop with all of my clients in order to help them identify and understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This is an important step before we can begin the process of working together to create long-lasting change.
Therapy is a collaborative process. This may be the very first time that you are considering therapy, or you have may tried therapy in your past, but either way, I am here to work with you on your goals in a non-judgemental environment. This will allow for you to explore various barriers that may be preventing you from regaining control of your life. If you would like to set up an initial free 15-minute consultation with me, please feel free to contact me.

Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.

I’ve supported individuals, families, and communities through life transitions, anxiety, addiction, and life’s toughest moments. Whether in schools, hospitals, or my therapy practice, I provide a warm, client-centred space where healing, growth, and resilience can thrive.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your inner strengths and foster self-awareness to help make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and empathetic, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
I’m a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping individuals overcome anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate life transitions.

I help clients build resilience and achieve sustainable growth by focusing on their strengths and values. Together, we’ll identify the challenges holding you back and create a personalized path forward. Using evidence-based approaches, we’ll work to reduce anxiety, process trauma, and navigate life’s changes with greater ease and self-awareness.
Life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. If you're ready to take the first step toward healing and personal transformation, I'm here to guide and support you at every turn. Let's work together to create lasting peace, clarity, and emotional resilience.
