I have been working in the field of helping and healing for over 15 years, 10 of which I have been practicing registered clinical counselling. This work is natural and intuitive for me, but it is also intentionally and constantly informed by new research and methods of healing and change to make my work effective and successful for you. I offer deep inner personal work to understand and overcome the conditioning and experiences of our past that influence our present realities. This work facilitates release of old patterns (both individual and intergenerational) to empower ourselves to live a life we desire in the present.

I commit to bringing my authentic self to our counselling relationship so that your experience is rooted in genuineness instead of traditional therapy prone to aloofness, unfeeling and superior. This means I am my full, flawed and sincere self who likes to use humour, honesty and collaboration in the counselling room. My experience and research thus far shows that this approach enhances a client’s success in therapy, not diminishes it.

I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology (Adler University) and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#13918) with the BCACC. I also have specific training in Occupationally Aware therapy for First Responders, in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, trauma and PTSD, as well as intimate partner violence and abuse.

I encourage all clients to meet or speak with several therapists to see who is the best ‘fit’ for you. When you feel it, you’ll know.
