Currently on maternity leave. 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.
Specific challenges I might be able to help with include: Anxiety; emotional regulation (everything from feeling tingly and buzzy all over, to feeling so furious you think you’re going to burst, to feeling completely empty and detached); self-injury, depression, academic stress, and OCD (those annoying or downright terrifying thoughts that leave you stuck).
Finding a therapist isn't easy. It can take a few tries before you find one that fits. If you think I might be a good fit for you, or you'd like to learn more, send me an email to book a free consultation. After my maternity leave, I'll be available virtually throughout BC, in-person in Kelowna, and for walk & talks in Revelstoke, Kelowna, and Sicamous.

I have an MA in Counselling Psychology and an MA in English. As part of my MA in English, I researched the novel as a tool for helping communities work through intergenerational trauma and xenophobia. The novel I explored was based in Slovenia, which used to be part of the former Yugoslavia.

A quick note on OCD: One of the most effective ways of working through OCD is to do exposure work. I do exposure work with clients, and have done a lot of it myself, but I tend to gravitate more towards values-based exposures and sprinkle them in as experiments. When working with OCD, I rely more heavily on mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also take a relational approach.

As a therapist, I don't draw on any one modality. I blend, mixing and matching different approaches depending on who you are, what's brought you in, and what works for you. You know yourself and your life best. My job isn't to give you advice or tell you what I think. It's to sit with you and join you in getting curious and exploring what works and what doesn't, and how we can build on that.
