Dolphin Lake Counselling

“The mind is like water. When it’s restless, it becomes difficult to see. But when it’s calm, you can see everything clearly.”

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. Let me share a little about my path and what brought me to this work.
My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own meaningful experiences in therapy, along with a deep wish to support others through their challenges. Volunteering on a crisis line showed me the power of truly being there for someone, and I knew I wanted to help people find more clarity, connection, and fulfillment in their lives.
With over eight years working in adult mental health supporting people through anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and more, I have had the privilege of walking alongside many individuals, each with their own unique stories and strengths. My approach is warm and grounded. I see you as the expert in your own life. Together, we can create a space that is tailored to you, blending practical, evidence-based tools with genuine care.
When I am not supporting clients, you will find me hiking Vancouver Island’s beautiful trails, swimming laps at the pool, spending time with partner and friends, snuggling with my cat Hera (with hopes of adding a dog to our little family soon).
Last year I got into the habit of taking weekly cold plunges in the chilly Pacific Ocean. The practice reminds me that growth often comes from gently facing what feels daunting, and that we are stronger than we know.
I offer virtual counselling to residents of Ontario and British Columbia.
I’d love to hear your story and walk alongside you on this journey.


What's in a Name?
I named my practice after Dolphin Lake right here on Vancouver Island, a place that feels like the heart of what I hope our work can be.
A calm lake offers a safe, reflective space to sit with your thoughts and feelings. Just as its still surface hides beautiful depths below, our sessions create room to gently explore what’s within, facing what feels hard with care and curiosity.
Dolphins bring a sense of companionship and playfulness, reminding us we don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Together, we’ll find those moments of light, hope, and connection.
