Steph (she/her) is a student intern working towards completing her Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology in August 2025.

Your journey with therapy is deeply personal and I am here to help you work towards the changes you desire. I believe therapy can help you challenge, explore and maybe even accept patterns in your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Together, through a holistic and trauma informed approach, we can process your experiences, learn practical skills, effective communication and navigating complex situations. I am here to support you through challenges, unexpected news, life transitions and new beginnings.

My therapeutic approach considers how past, present and future knowing contributes to who we are and choose to become. My personal and professional experience in cancer care, crisis response, high performance sport and executive leadership have highlighted the complexity of the human experience. Through allowing ourselves time, space and support to inquire about our past and present, we can shape our future. 

I support individuals in navigating anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions,personal growth, identity, stress reduction, chronic illness, and grief.
