I’m deeply committed to walking alongside women and Indigenous clients on their recovery journey. I’ve witnessed the strength it takes to rise above trauma, stigma, and systemic barriers—and it fuels my drive to create safe, empowering spaces rooted in cultural humility and compassion. As an FNHA-approved provider, I’ve worked across Coast Salish communities to deliver community-driven care. My approach blends clinical skill with heart—drawing on evidence-based therapies, peer connection, and holistic healing to support change.
With over 15 years in mental health and addiction care and a Master’s in Social Work, I bring deep clinical expertise and a compassionate, grounded approach. Using trauma-informed practices, emotional regulation tools, and recovery-focused strategies, I help clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and lasting change.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're navigating anxiety, addiction, trauma, or life transitions, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and rediscover what’s possible. Healing is never a straight line, but together, we can take the next step forward.
