I support youth and adults dealing with anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, phobias, and relationship challenges. If your mind feels stuck in loops or “what if” thinking, we’ll work together to break those patterns, build effective coping strategies, and help you feel more calm, clear, and present.

You're not broken. But something is wrong — and you've known it for a while.
The shame you carry alone. The relationship that keeps breaking the same way. The version of yourself that shows up when things get hard — the one you don't fully understand.
The men I work with are done managing. They're ready to go underneath — into the history, the patterns, the wounds quietly running their lives. Through that work, they begin to understand themselves, relate differently, and build a life that actually feels like theirs.

My own journey through illness in my 20's woke me up to the value of our inner world. That a sense of peace and connection to ourselves can give us the strength to face challenging situations and loss. I learned that having a compassionate witness to see yourself through is very empowering and reassuring.

When life stops making sense, and the support you thought you’d have isn’t there, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or worn down in ways that are hard to explain. I primarily work with women who aren’t failing at life. They’re exhausted from holding too much for too long, navigating relationship ruptures, chronic stress, trauma, or major transitions while trying to keep it together on the outside. If you’re feeling flooded, shut down, or quietly lost, this is a space where you don’t have to perform or explain your way in. We start where you are.

My practice focuses on supporting individuals (8 years and older) with Trauma, Dissociation, ADHD, Autism, and OCD in Kelowna BC. I believe there is a "why" behind every behavior and emotion. When we can find understanding of the "why" behind these patterns, we can gain greater self-compassion and ability to change. I also help my clients to ground themselves in their personal values.

My goal is to help my clients feel supported in making lasting changes and give them tools to handle daily challenges.

When life feels suffocating and you’re not sure how to cope, reaching out for support is a courageous first step. Sometimes another set of eyes can help us see our blind spots. So, if old beliefs about yourself are keeping you stuck, if communication is feeling strained in your relationships, or if anxiety and depression are draining you of hope and joy, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I walk alongside people through these struggles, helping them reconnect with their inner strength and regain control of their lives. Much of my work has involved young adults and youth who feel powerless to change these personal circumstances

Many of my clients come to me after trying multiple forms of therapy, mindset work, health protocols and personal development, yet still feel stuck in the same patterns. What they discover is that their exhaustion, anxiety, or repeating cycles are not failures of willpower. They are signals that deeper subconscious and nervous system layers need to be addressed.
My work blends clinical hypnotherapy, mind–body regulation, emotional processing, and internal family systems work to help clients change patterns at the level where they were originally formed.
