I’ve spent over a decade in mental health, supporting clients of all ages, from children to older adults. I specialize in family work but have experience helping a wide range of people navigate life’s challenges. I’ve worked with Fraser Health, community agencies, and Peace Arch Hospice.
I have a special interest in supporting front-line workers, drawing on my hospital experience and personal connections to first responders. I provide a safe, supportive space to grow, heal, and thrive.
-
I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology from Simon Fraser University, where I completed several research projects focused on adolescent mental health, attachment, and autism. I went on to earn my Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Lethbridge.
-
I take a down-to-earth, warm, and supportive approach to counselling. I listen with empathy and work with you to understand your experiences and find practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.
Grounded in evidence-based practices, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Mindfulness, and I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals.
-
I enjoy trying new recipes, visiting local thrift stores and going to the gym. My heart is with my family - the best days are at home having cozy moments or going for nature walks.
