About
As a registered clinical counsellor and supervisor in BC, my therapy experience ranges from supervising MA in Counselling Psychology interns in addition to providing therapeutic support to individuals, couples and families.
Over the years, I have supported individuals struggling with management of depression, anxiety, infertility, grief, parenting, complex trauma, ADHD, chronic pain and couples/family relationship stress. My primary goal is to help guide my clients into their own healing path from a strength based philosophy. I truly believe that clients are the true experts of their journey.
Throughout the therapeutic process, we will build a relationship based on empathy, trust and openness to address your needs. My approach to therapy draws from modalities such as self compassion, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness/somatic interventions, emotion focused therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy training. I look forward to learning about you and identifying what your care plan of support will look like based on your unique needs of support.
