Welcome and thank you for taking time to explore my page! I am a highly trained & experienced counsellor for women with an online practice and an in-person practice. I aim to create a warm and welcoming place where clients can come to explore, grow, and find healing. As a highly relational person, my attuned attention and compassionate nature support a large part of my practice. I firmly believe that healing takes place, partly, in relationships. It is within the therapeutic relationship that I tailor theoretical approaches to meet each individual's unique strengths, desires, processes, and needs.
I have over 15 years of experience and training in working with clients who battle OCD (all subtypes such as harm based, contamination, scrupulosity etc), cPTSD, phobias, anxiety, chronic illness, & depression. I am dedicated to lifelong learning to continue to develop as a therapist. My canine helpers join session adding a comforting and playful presence!
I have extensive training and experience and clients describe me as a counsellor who "finally gets it" after having tried many previous therapists. If you feel desire more freedom, or feel stuck and misunderstood, please reach out. My office is located in beautiful Harrison Mills, near Mission, Agassiz, and Chilliwack. Please note I have a current waitlist

I work with women who are seeking healing from PTSD/trauma, OCD, and anxiety. As we get to know one another and trust is established, I draw from various approaches such as ERP, ACT, EMDR. I believe it is important for clients to work with therapists who have specific and extensive training in their focus/specialization areas in order to fully understand and assist women in their healing.
