You may feel unheard, unseen, or disconnected from your own inner voice. Perhaps your younger self still carries pain that was never acknowledged. Whether you’re learning to understand and express your emotions, or a parent working through family challenges, or an adult ready to heal from past experiences, I’m here to help you reconnect with your inner strength and move forward with confidence. As a B.C. Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) I bring both professional expertise and deep compassion to my work.
I draw from evidence-based methods like CBT, SFBT and humanistic approaches to help clients gain self-awareness, navigate challenges, and set meaningful goals. I believe that healing happens through strong, trusting relationships, and I work collaboratively with clients to empower positive change.
Don't let yourself trap in the past trauma. It's time to move on, and I can help. Taking the first step can be daunting, but it’s also incredibly empowering. You will find your life more in order and full of hope and exciting adventure. Let’s connect and see how we can work together to create meaningful change in your life!
