Welcome to Hopeville Counselling and I am pleased to meet you.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over ten years experience working with teenagers and adults in mental health services.

Reaching out for support is not always easy. If you are here, I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to consider therapy, especially if past experiences — including painful, invalidating, or traumatic ones — have made it difficult to trust or feel safe.

I approach my work through a trauma-informed lens, recognizing that many of the challenges we face are shaped by our life experiences, relationships, and broader social contexts. Rather than asking, “What is wrong with you?” I hold space for the question, “What has happened to you?” and “How have you survived?” Your responses make sense within the context of your story.

I am committed to providing culturally responsive and anti-oppressive care. This means honouring the many identities you hold and recognizing how systems such as racism, colonization, migration stress, and other forms of inequity can impact mental health and well-being. Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in respect — you are the expert in your lived experience.

My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work towards healing, empowerment, and meaningful change in a way that feels aligned with your values and cultural context.
