What is Pre-Licensed Counselling?
Pre-Licensed Counselling allows access to counselling sessions at a lower rate. Our pre-licensed counsellors are nearing the completion of their Masters program, or have completed their program and are awaiting licensing. While practicing, and seeing clients, our pre-licensed counsellors are under the supervision of our Clinical Director and Clinical Supervisor providing weekly support.
Compassionate Pre-Licensed Counselling for Healing & Growth
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences that still weigh on you? You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Our pre-licensed counsellors offer flexibility for scheduling and a space where you can slow down, reflect, and find the support you need to navigate your journey. You don’t have to figure it all out alone; we're here.
As emerging professionals, we are deeply immersed in current therapeutic practices, blending evidence-based techniques with an open heart space, and culturally affirming counselling creates a unique ability to relate to clients.
We bring a unique energy to the therapeutic space; combining lots of learning with fresh perspectives, curiosity, and deep empathy. We are trained in modern, research-based approaches while also challenging traditional therapy models by emphasizing accessibility, collaboration, and the client’s lived experience. Student counselling isn’t just about managing struggles, it’s about rediscovering who you are, understanding what truly matters to you, and finding the confidence to live life on your own terms.
I believe our emotions aren't problems to solve, but are invitations to listen more deeply. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, identity, grief, or a season of change, therapy can become a place to reconnect with yourself and build a life that feels grounded in your own values.
As a Registered Social Worker completing my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work, I strive to create a space where every part of you is welcome: the joyful parts, the grieving parts, the uncertain parts, and the parts that have spent years trying to hold everything together.
Wherever you find yourself today, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels more intentional, connected, and authentically your own.
I offer a relational and trauma-informed approach to therapy, rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection, both with ourselves and within safe, attuned relationships. I centre my work on helping you slow down, make sense of your internal world, and reconnect with your core sense of self.
When I’m not in session, you can usually find me caring for my many beloved houseplants (I’m a proud plant mom), spending time in nature or with loved ones, exploring new foods, and engaging in various forms of movement. Having been trained in the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam, I continue to seek movement to help me stay grounded and connected to my body, self-expression, presence, and identity.
Areas of Focus
Here are some aspects our pre-licensed counsellors can focus on to help create a positive and lasting change in your life.
Anxiety & Stressors
Big changes—whether personal, academic, or professional—can feel overwhelming. Counselling provides tools to manage uncertainty and move forward with confidence.
Healing from Past Experiences
Unresolved trauma can impact daily life in many ways. Therapy allows you to process and heal in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Identity & Self-Discovery
Understanding yourself—whether through personal growth, life purpose, or cultural identity—can be transformative. Therapy provides space to explore and embrace your full self.

Healthy relationships require communication, boundaries, and emotional awareness. We can help improve your interpersonal connections, whether with family, partners, or friends.
