Trauma Focused Therapists in Kelowna, BC
As a Trauma-Focused ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) therapist, I collaboratively build awareness and skills to improve regulation, relationships, and values-driven action across all areas of your life.
Are you looking to get back in control of yourself and your life? Often, we can feel like we are victims at the hands of our emotions, like someone else is running our lives and we are just watching it happen. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, or trauma, you may find yourself distant from your loved ones, your values, and even yourself. I work to empower you back to a place where you are able to decide what you want your life to look like, so that when difficult thoughts and emotions arise, you can face them, decide what you want to do with them, and act in a way that you can be proud of.

Experiences of abuse, violence, or betrayal by someone we know or trust can profoundly shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether you're navigating the effects of childhood abuse or neglect, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, or other difficult life experiences, therapy can offer a space to make sense of your experiences with curiosity and intention.

I support clients in understanding their nervous systems and reconnecting with their internal experience. Together, we slow things down creating space to notice, feel, and make sense of what’s coming up.

Life can sometimes feel like a rough sea and counselling can help you navigate the turbulent waters. It is my goal to provide a space where you can work through challenging issues and provide support to navigate these areas of your life. I will support you by acknowledging your unique experiences and struggles with life circumstances, inviting you to explore new ways of coping.

Our feelings, thoughts, and relationships can be messy. Sometimes, it all feels like it’s just too much. I know what that’s like. I also know it’s a little bit easier when, instead of turning away, someone chooses to sit with you in those moments and says: "This isn’t too much. You’re not (insert terrible thing you fear is true about you). You don’t have to hold this alone.” I believe that’s my job as a therapist – to sit with you in the midst of all that messiness and help you hold the painful and overwhelming parts. From there, we can work together to untangle it and move towards your goals.

Trauma Therapist. Early relationships shape how we learn to connect with others and ourselves. When those bonds were unsafe, inconsistent, or overwhelming, it can show up later as anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or difficulty trusting and setting boundaries. You may feel stuck in painful patterns in romantic relationships, friendships, or work, carrying shame, hypervigilance, or a sense of not being enough. These are not flaws — they are adaptive responses to relational trauma and attachment wounds.

My approach is multidimensional and personalized, drawing from various evidence-based practices, which include somatic, attachment, and mindfulness. While we can’t predict how we might respond to challenging situations, we can work to renegotiate our memories by accessing our body’s unique means of responding to triggers. The method is layered; together, we might consider your earliest attachments in childhood, how you have interpreted a traumatic experience and even your intersectionalities on a macro level. Once this evidence is gathered, activation is located in the physical body, energy is addressed and worked with somatically.

Being authentic means that you can live according to what you care about and do what you are good at. It involves knowing yourself, recognizing pressures to be a certain way (from inside and outside), and acting in a way that is consistent with your values.
When you can't be authentic it can lead to feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or avoidant. This can result from messaging and roles put on you growing up, from a traumatic experience, being in relationships where you feel pulled to be a certain way, not being validated, or not having had the opportunity to figure out who you are.

I work with individuals from childhood through adulthood, as well as couples and families. What unites my work is not who you are but what you have experienced and what healing and wellness means to you.

My passion and expertise is in helping you and your loved ones heal from "Big T" and "Little T" traumas (chronic stress, abuse, loss, divorce, life transitions like new baby).
My approach is science based, collaborative, and steady.

Hello! I work with people who have experienced trauma, violence, relationship harm, or neglect. You might feel disconnected from your body, your boundaries, or your sense of who you are. You may have found ways to cope and survive — whether through your relationship with food, substances, work, caretaking, or other patterns that helped you get through but no longer serve you. You want to understand these parts of yourself. You want to learn and change things in your life to have genuine and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. If this resonates, you deserve this space!

Are you feeling stuck in repeating patterns, disconnection, or emotional overwhelm? Have you noticed that what you’ve been trying is no longer working, and you’re ready for deeper, lasting change?

Your body holds stories your mind hasn't yet put into words. You may find yourself stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps, and in those moments, the right support can make all the difference. As an intern counsellor, my goal is to walk alongside you in creating a compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work from a strength-based, attachment-informed, and nervous system-focused lens, helping you slow down, tune into your body’s wisdom, and move at a pace that feels right for you.

Sometimes life presents us with challenges that we didn't ask for. This can feel unfair, and navigating our struggles can feel overwhelming. It's not lost on me the strength that it takes to seek help. I believe in resilience, and that you know yourself better than anyone. Sometimes you just need some support discovering your true self.
