Based in Vernon B.C., Canada, those who know me well describe me as compassionate, expressive, creative, and open-minded (as well as having a serious silly side).

 

For over 10 years I have been privileged to successfully support adults, parents, families, children and youth through both complex and everyday struggles, helping them connect to their inner confidence, clarity, and strength to overcome suffering and achieve their personal goals.

 

I work with a wide range of challenges— from stress-management, burnout, anxiety, depression, parenting, relationship issues, anger-management/emotional regulation, and life transitions, to more complex issues such as chronic illness (ME/CFS, Long COVID, Lyme, Fibromyalgia), chronic pain, addiction, PTSD, trauma, and personality disorders like BPD. I also have ample experience counselling counsellors and am currently pursuing my counsellor supervision training.

​

Working with me is a personalized experience. Over the years I have been fortunate to be trained in numerous counselling approaches. This acumen allows me to quickly identify which strategies would best suit each unique client. From here, we can co-create an eclectic, supportive, and collaborative environment to help you overcome challenges and reach goals.

​

Clients describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I've had a client tell me I know how to "move the needle" and another describe me as their "cheerleader". I enjoy deeper, holistic processing, but also see great value in applicable daily practices as well as having a well-timed laugh. I am trauma-informed and trained up to the advanced level in Somatic Experiencing. I also love integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS); parts work; nervous-system based research, and attachment research into my sessions. If you’re ready to take a step toward support, I invite you to reach out; let's get you to where you want to be!
