"At the heart of my work is a deep belief in our innate capacity to heal and grow."

- Aimee

Relational, affirming, and integrative — valuing the depth and diversity of lived experience.

Hello and welcome. Whether you're new to therapy or returning to it, I walk alongside you as a supportive ally, meeting you where you are with curiosity and care. Together, we make space for experiences while working toward recovery, deeper self-understanding, and meaningful change. As a racialized therapist with an intersectional lens, I offer a warm, steady, and collaborative space where all parts of your experience are welcome.

In Our Work Together (Clinical Approach)

You may find yourself here because you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in familiar patterns, or carrying experiences that continue to affect your relationships, emotions, or sense of self. Together, we'll approach these experiences with curiosity and care, exploring the patterns that no longer serve you while building on the strengths that have helped you get this far.

My work helps you understand how your nervous system has adapted to your experiences and how those adaptations continue to shape your emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Through greater awareness and integration, many people find themselves reconnecting with who they are. Through body-centred, trauma-informed therapy, we work toward meaningful change.

My approach integrates:

Attachment-informed theory (relationships, attachment repair and relational wounds)

Polyvagal-Informed and Nervous System Exploration

Trauma-informed and trauma-trained, grounded in anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice

Brainspotting (Phase 1 and 2)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Internal Family Systems (Level 2)

Lifespan Integration (Level 3)

Education & Training

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I bring a blend of professional experience and deep human connection to every person I work with. Before entering private practice, I dedicated 15 years in public education, public health, and frontline mental health and substance use services. These experiences provided a strong foundation for my counselling work, shaping my compassionate, well-rounded approach to supporting individuals.

  • CityUniversity in Canada, Master of Arts in Clinical Counselling (MA)
  • Simon Fraser University – Health and Counselling Services (practicum completed)
  • Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Child and Youth Care Counselling (BACYCC)

Outside of the Counselling Space

I find joy in movement through rock climbing and paddling, being in nature, and sharing laughter with friends and my family. As a parent, I cherish watching joy light up through moments of play and connection. These experiences remind me of the importance of connection—to ourselves, to others, and to what really matters.

Let's Connect

A therapeutic relationship is the foundation for effective therapy. You’re welcome to book a 15-minute consultation to explore whether we might be a good fit. Following our consultation, if it feels like a good fit for you, we can schedule your first session from there.
