About Me

Most importantly, I have a passion and great respect for the uniqueness and individuality of each client. I trust in your ability to heal and I am honoured to be a witness and guide in this process - the real work occurs within you. I have a gentle nature and have been told I have a very calming energy. I believe humour belongs in the therapy room and the process should be lighthearted, as well as serious. I am inclusive, sex-positive, and believe in body diversity. I offer a welcoming and safe space for all sexual orientations, gender identities, and body types. I am also polyamory/non-monogamy affirming/informed.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I have completed additional training in treating post-traumatic stress and ADHD, and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - Level II (complex trauma) and a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider.

I started out in pharmacy and was a Registered Pharmacist for over 15 years. I was always more drawn to mental health treatment and found my relationships with those patients to be the most rewarding aspect of my job. The medical model is limited with respect to mental health - while diagnoses and medication have their role, I know there is so much more to psychological well-being and so I pursued my interest in counselling.

My dog Max is also excited to work with you! He joins me in the therapy room by request : )
