I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with an empathic and educated approach to challenging life situations. I specialize in supporting professional adults including health care workers, teachers, mental health professionals and government employees. I provide short term counselling for solutions to specific problems and longer term therapy to address patterns of challenging behavior. In this current world climate we are collectively experiencing unexpected life changes. I am dedicated to provide space to share and discuss issues that have come up in these challenging times.

It is never too late for meaningful change in your life. Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Stuck in negative thought patterns? Worried about your child's development? Suffering from PTSD, anxiety or nearing a separation? I provide short-term counselling to explore solutions to specific problems and long-term therapy to address historical issues and persistent patterns. I work collaboratively with you to build an individualized treatment plan based on your current needs, motivations and strengths. I utilize CBT, EMDR, DBT, EFT and other science-based interventions to help you overcome your symptoms and any related distress.

I specialise in working with clients who have built a strong identity around their athletic pursuits but are facing a fork in the road – an injury, loss, family responsibilities, loss of interest, burnout – that is causing them to take time away from activity and to question who they are, and who they will be, without this outlet. I offer an non-judgemental space to explore the questions that you might have arising, about what your life means now, how to move through the grief, and how you are going to find your purpose.

I am a Registered Psychologist (R.Psych.) with the College of Psychologists of BC. My home office is located in downtown Castlegar, British Columbia. I provide psychological, psycho-vocational, psycho-educational and learning disability assessments for children (ages 6-18) & adults, as well as individual therapy for adults & teens for trauma/PTSD, anxiety panic attacks, OCD, depression, chronic pain/illness, transitional life issues (i.e. bereavement, occupational), stress, relationship issues, and sleep problems. Please note I’m not currently accepting new therapy clients. For assessment inquiries, please email me.

It is seeming all too normal these days to experience feelings of disconnection. A separation from ourselves, our passions, our bodies, our communities, etc. We spend so much time in our heads trying to figure out how to survive when we so desperately want to be thriving. Where has our aliveness gone? How do we get our bodies and our senses back online and truly show up for our unique experience?

Compassion and authenticity are at the forefront of my practice. Providing a safe space for clients is crucial for successful therapeutic outcomes. I work from a person-centred, holistic perspective, using CBT and Somatic interventions. I value empowering my clients by bringing them into awareness of their innate strengths and using them as part of our treatment plan.

I am passionate about supporting children, teens and young adults. Over the past decade I have been committed to providing therapeutic counselling services to children, adolescents and their families in the West Kootenays. I have provided art therapy services through a number of local community services centers as well as for school districts.

I know that inner peace and healing are absolutely attainable and I am excited to walk with you as you find a new path.

Physical pain, anxiety, and depression associated with trauma and/or overwhelming experiences can be compounded by frustration and hopelessness and telling our story does not always bring relief. After trauma, we may feel stable for many years until one day the body's management strategies begin to falter. The nervous system has reached capacity to cope. Trauma is often misunderstood by doctors and therapists, family members, friends and co-workers and they offer advice and support in ways that inhibit our healing process. Old methods of belief, behaviour, and coping may no longer offer relief.

We all face difficult times in our lives. If you find that more of your energy is going into managing life’s challenges rather than enjoying life’s beauty, that is when the support of a skilled therapist can help. I love to work with people who are committed to their growth and unfolding, drawing on my experience and training as a therapist and meditation practitioner to help people live richer lives of meaning, joy and purpose. If you feel there is meant to be more to your life, if you feel a call to move beyond stuck patterns to greater freedom, if you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, I am here to help.

Having an invisible illness doesn’t mean you have to feel invisible. As someone with personal experience living with chronic illnesses, I know what it’s like to feel like you’re always pushing past your limits to get through the day. To feel like your body aches, your brain feels foggy, and the life you long to have seems out of reach. If you’ve been trying to deal with these issues on your own for a while, it might be time to bring in the reinforcements. That's why I specialize in teaching skills and providing support to anyone, anywhere with online therapy. You can book in anytime you need and get supported by someone who gets it.
