About
Many of the individuals I see feel stuck and unsure of their capacity to manage life struggles independently. Providing a safe space in which to process these challenges nurtures hope and offers a sense of clarity. I intend for you to leave sessions feeling empowered to make decisions that bring you closer to living authentically. I engage with curiosity, sensitivity, warmth, and a bit of humour. I know that when you enter the room, you bring a wealth of experience that is unique to you. Therefore, consideration will be given to your individual characteristics, preferences, needs, beliefs, and abilities.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor Degree in Child and Youth Care. I have extensive training in developmental psychology and cross-cultural practices and have worked over twenty years with children, adolescents, and families.
While my formal education and training guide my practice, I believe the most valuable lessons come from personal experience and from being with and learning from others. I feel honoured when invited to walk with them on their healing journey and my hope is that with me, you will find a safe trusting person with whom to explore alternate ways of being.
