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.

I am passionate about supporting children, teens and young adults.

I have provided art therapy services through a number of local community services centers as well as for school districts.

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?

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.

Your child is amazing. You just want the best for them. If you're exploring the idea of therapy, it's likely that your child is currently encountering some difficulties. There's nothing more heart-wrenching than witnessing your child face challenges. Sometimes, you can pinpoint the underlying issue, but in other instances, it remains a complete mystery. Art therapists are trained in both art and psychology, and have knowledge about the psychological role of the creative process and the impact of using different art materials and techniques for helping uncover issues, build healthy coping mechanisms, and support healing and growth.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor living and working in Nelson British Columbia. I believe that developing trust and safety is the most important part of the counselling process. I hold a belief that we all have within ourselves the resources to grow and transform, provided we are given an environment of emotional safety that allows for self-exploration and authentic expression.

I identify as nonbinary and transmasculine, and I primarily use they/them pronouns but accept any and all pronouns. I welcome clients from all ages and backgrounds who would like to work collaboratively to gain greater health and wellness; as a neurodivergent person with sensory processing difficulties, I practice online or by phone only to have the greatest possible agency in creating and maintaining a workspace that is a good fit for my needs. Whether you are looking to process past traumas or focus on changing your present and future, I want to help facilitate that.

I have over 20 years of experience in mental health and substance use services.

I bring over 20 years of experience supporting children and families to my practice with Kelowna Professional Group. My longstanding interest in the role of attachment as a means to foster deeper and more empathic relationships speaks to the intuition of individuals and families.
