All of our counselling interns have completed academic requirements of their degrees in Social Work, Counselling Psychology, Child and Youth Care or a comparable field of study. They are supervised under one of our registered clinical team to complete their required counselling experience to obtain their degrees and will see a range of clients within their scope of practice. Each intern will come to practice with difference prior professional and educational experience that will inform who they will be working with at Burn Bright Counselling.

As a part of the interns’ degree requirements and their clinical supervision, they will be receiving direct feedback from their supervisor during their internship. In order to provide the highest quality of feedback and as per degree requirements, interns are required to record (video or audio) some of their sessions. These recordings are only viewed by the Intern and their Clinical Supervisor. All recordings are stored and kept within privacy laws and are destroyed after supervision is complete. You are not required to agree to having your sessions recorded and are able to revoked your consent at any time during your therapeutic support.

I’m excited you’re here! Some of what you might expect from our time together include an active implementation of anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based perspectives. I love to draw on the natural creativity of others with the use of art, nature, and storytelling wherever possible.

Some, but not all, of the topics we might be able to navigate together include: experiences along the asexual and aromantic identity spectrums, sexual and gender identity, life transitions, anxiety, post-traumatic growth, relationship with food, exercise & body, and sex, dating & relationships.

I have been working with youth and families through non-profit organizations for nearly 10 years, specializing in mental health, family relationships, substance use and LGBTQ2S+ support. I am a Registered Social Worker and graduated with my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Victoria and am committed to continued learning and growing as a practitioner.

I strive to create a safe space for teens, parents and adults to feel comfortable in bringing their authentic self to the counselling space in order to further explore the connection to themselves and their healing process.

Works with youth ages 12+, families and young adults. No matter what position I find myself in, I approach my work through a two-eyed seeing framework, holding both western modalities and Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, and being close to my heart. I would describe my practice as decolonial, person-centered and strengths based, and I include modalities such as narrative therapies, emotion focused therapies, and solution focused therapies. I strive to meet people where they are at, and work alongside them in a good way while holding up their strength and dignity. We both have a lot to learn from each other, and I always want to honour where you come from, and where you have been.

Each individual’s perspective on the world is a kaleidoscope of experiences forever moving and changing. This is why I ground my work in a holistic, anti- oppressive, and trauma-informed framework. As each of our kaleidoscopes is unique, so too are our healing journeys - I work to weave together tools from various modalities like Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapies, and Emotion-focused therapies.

Some of the topics I could support you with include;

○ Learning the language of emotions, Fat Acceptance - Body Neutrality, Relationship to food/exercise, Coping Skills, Experiences of Anxiety, Grief and loss, Interpersonal Communication, Non-suicidal self-injury, Substance Use, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Unlearning of religion.

Works with youth aged 13+, adults and couples

As a therapist, I am dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey, working with the strengths you already possess to flourish as your best self. With an abundance of generosity and warmth, I bring a sense of humor and levity to our sessions, knowing that even through the darkest of times, there is space for light.

Therapy should be accessible for everyone, and I hold space for all identities and experiences by working from an anti-oppressive, decolonized, and queer theory standpoint that seeks an inclusive, affirming, and socially just environment. My unlearnings have gifted me a lesson in deconstructing binary thinking and so-called normative assumptions related to gender and sexual orientation, holding queer theory close to my heart in supporting my clients to explore and express themselves as authentically as they wish.
