Hiya! I'm honoured that your search has led you here. I work with adults and children offering play-based, nature-based, and integrative therapeutic techniques in Kelowna. Together, we'll create more awareness, nurture what needs healing, process what is stuck, and move towards the best version of yourself. I believe that we are intrinsically good, that we are all capable of growth and change, and that your very existence means that you are worthy. I want to help you believe that, too.
If you are a parent, you already know this - kids often struggle to handle their emotions! I want children to have the opportunity to learn about themselves in a nurturing and caring, play-based therapeutic space, to work through their stressors and manage them, rather than grow up being at the whim of their emotions and experiences.
I care equally about supporting adults of all ages who have experienced life's roller coaster and are still reeling. My approach is integrative, tailored to what your unique nervous system needs, and focuses on all aspects of your wellbeing. I am excited to meet you and walk beside you on your journey to wellness.
