I’m passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space where children, youth, and families feel truly heard and supported. Growing up comes with challenges, and every young person deserves a space to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I firmly believe that healing happens through connection—with ourselves and with others.

My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, grounded in unconditional positive regard, empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for each individual’s unique experiences. I have experience working with children, youth, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, self-harm, Autism, ADHD, and relationship challenges. I also recognize how important it is to feel seen and understood, especially when exploring identity, emotions, and the complexities of life. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, using therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs.

I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association for Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).

No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you.

Imagine a place where you can express your thoughts and feelings without judgement. A place where you can talk about anything and know that the story stays in the room. A place where you are supported in navigating life’s challenges. A place where you are truly heard. This is the basis of counselling, and it is a process that allows you to gain a deeper understanding of your concerns, your relationships, and most importantly, yourself. I truly believe that counselling can help you move away from challenges and towards a greater enjoyment of life.

I am incredibly dedicated to providing authentic and compassionate support to others and aspire to create connections built on understanding and trust. My counselling approach is to create a safe, caring, and calm space for you to look at your life and to support you in finding some answers to “what’s going on”. My practice is informed by the principles of human psychology, connections in relationships, and lived experiences. Counselling methods used in sessions are person-centered (the client is always the expert in their story), trauma informed (our past influences who we are), emotionally focused (our emotions guide us), and solution based (focusing on how to solve the problem).

To support you on your journey, I have a Master’s in Education in Counselling from the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), a professional association that has confidence in the experience and qualifications of their RCC’s. Additional training includes Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Person Centered Counselling, Solution Based Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I have many years of experience working with youth and adults with social/emotional concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, communication challenges, boundary setting, and personal growth. I’m here to support individuals in exploring who they are, finding balance in their life, and healing in the process. Our time together will enable you to see that you have the strength to bring clarity to your issues, work through your concerns, and persevere to make the changes necessary to live the life that you want to live.

Thank you for having the courage to check out my page. You are probably wondering who I am, if my approach aligns with needs and vision of therapy.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2012. Early on in my nursing career I specialized in nephrology. While I loved this nursing and the medical complexity, what became apart is psychological struggles that coexist with chronic disease. I shifted my nursing career to mental health in 2015 an have not looked back. I have worked with clients of all ages from mild to severe mental illness in a variety of roles. This inspired me to further my education and begin my Masters of Counselling Psychology. Having worked through a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) lens for many years in healthcare, I wanted to learn more about the different types of trauma treatment. My interest in EMDR grew, and I was excited for the opportunity to take EMDRIA approved training. EMDR is different from traditional therapy in that it helps find and process the root cause of a persons distress. While it was initially discovered and proven to be an effective treatment for PTSD and trauma, it can also help people with a variety of other psychological distress from performance anxiety, public speaking, anxiety, eating disorders, depression and much more.

As you search for a counsellor that is the right fit, I want to highlight some of the intersectional identities that I have. I am cisgendered (She/Her) and a First Nations woman from the Stó:lō Nation. I celebrate and encourage diversity, and welcome members of the LGBTQIA2S communities.
