Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted? You don’t have to navigate this alone. I support teens 15+, adults, and couples navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, spirituality, and life transitions. Trained in Vancouver and based in Kelowna, BC, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed counselling in-person and online, creating a supportive space where clients can feel heard, gain insight, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and move toward healing and meaningful change.
As a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling, I offer evidence-based support in a confidential, judgment-free space. My approach is collaborative and client-centred, tailored to your unique needs and goal. I integrate practical tools, emotional support, and self-exploration to help you navigate life with greater confidence.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, grieving the loss of a loved one or beloved pet, or needing a safe space to process, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your healing journey. Free 15-minute consultations are available.
