I have a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I bring curiosity, compassion, warmth and respect to this work. I view my role as that of co-inquirer into the larger perspective of what might be going on for you. Through deep and intuitive listening, I often find connections between your current situation and what might be truly at issue. We may look at learned patterns and coping methods that are no longer serving you. Some of those patterns may have come from unaddressed trauma, shame, grief or loss. My intention is that you feel heard and understood as you expand your self-knowledge and move towards your goals.

I have found that clients come to see me when they are feeling stuck and confused or perhaps struggling with the impact of past trauma. This may include feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, grief or questioning of their self-worth. My approach is tailored to each person, with an emphasis on collaboration. I use trauma-informed, attachment-based counselling approaches including EMDR, experiential methods, Gestalt, Solution-focused, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, CBT, transpersonal, and existential methods.

I have extensive experience working with adults, families and youth (age 13+). I am LGBTQ+ allied and a strong advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I also offer clinical supervision to other therapists.
