About Harmony
I support children, individuals, and families in Oak Bay and the Westshore.
I knew from an early age that I was meant to end up in this field. Much of my pull towards this profession stemmed from a wonderful first experience in counselling when I began attending as a young teen. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I have spent time in an array of different settings: working with children, community outreach work, and working with youth experiencing mental health and addictions. Volunteer work also sparks immense joy within me, and I have been volunteering as a coach for Special Olympics since 2017. The connections we build with one another have always fuelled my soul, which evidently led me to pursue my Master of Counselling degree.
Before attending graduate school, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminology. Much of my focus and interest during my undergrad studies was around working with marginalized youth within society who have been affected by the criminal justice system. This interest and education have provided me with a deeper, more holistic understanding of the nuances of each person�s uniquely constructed experience within our shared world.
I feel passionate about working with children, utilizing practices that align with their developmental needs, and supporting them and their families through the journey of learning, healing, and growth. However, I work with all ages, I have a deeply held belief that prioritizing our mental health can begin at any stage in life.
In my time outside of the counselling world, you�ll find me outside enjoying a run while listening to a podcast, catching up with friends and family over coffee and a baked good, reading a good book in the sun, or cuddling up with my two adorable cats.
