I support children ages 5–12 who are struggling with big emotions, anxiety, behaviour challenges, or confidence. Families often come to me feeling unsure how to help their child or how to reconnect during difficult moments. Through play‑based therapy, child‑centred approaches, and supportive parent counselling, I create a safe space where kids feel understood and parents feel empowered. Together, we build trust, strengthen communication, and help families move forward with clarity and confidence.

I have a Bachelor and Master's Degree in Social Work from UBC and over 23 years experience helping others with mental health, addictions, and relationship issues in a variety of health care, community and social service settings. When you come in for counselling support, I start by creating a relaxed atmosphere where you feel safe and reassured that you've found someone who can help you truly face the issues you're experiencing. Sometimes, the stress of life can be overwhelming and your world becomes very narrow.

Life can feel overwhelming when the past keeps showing up in the present. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, are weighed down by anxiety, or are exhausted from trying to keep everything together. You might notice yourself withdrawing, second-guessing, or struggling to set boundaries, even when you know what you want to change. If you’ve been carrying too much for too long, you don’t have to do this alone.
I work with a diverse range of clients, including those who have ADHD, autism, or both. I support children, youth and adults on their journeys.

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.

You may notice the same patterns repeating and want help understanding what is happening beneath the surface. Ultimately, you want more emotional closeness, clearer communication, and a relationship that feels secure, respectful, and supportive rather than exhausting, tense, or confusing.

You’re someone others rely on. You care deeply and carry a lot — work, family, responsibilities, the emotional weight of showing up well for others.
And sometimes, inside, you feel reactive, tense, or not quite like yourself. You might find yourself responding in ways that don’t match who you want to be.
Many of the people I work with have engaged in personal growth work before and understand themselves in important ways. Now something has surfaced — a life transition, a relationship, a season of pressure — that invites them to build on what they’ve already begun.
