As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, I'm dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your challenges, develop greater self-awareness, and cultivate the skills and strategies needed to achieve your mental health and wellness goals.

A Collaborative, Safe and Empathetic Relationship

My approach is built on a foundation of warmth, empathy, and genuine connection. I strive to foster a strong therapeutic bond, built on trust, acceptance, and openness. With a person-centered and collaborative approach, I walk alongside you to empower you to discover your own strengths and resilience. My goal is to provide a calm and comforting environment where you feel comfortable letting your guard down, being vulnerable, and sharing your raw emotions. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment.

Trauma-Informed and Client-Centered

I'm committed to providing trauma-informed care that acknowledges the impact of trauma on individuals and families. My approach is client-centered, meaning that I prioritize your needs, goals, and values in our therapeutic work together.

Empowerment Through Education

At times, I may use psychoeducation to help you understand what's going on emotionally, mentally, physically, and interpersonally. This empowering approach enables you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your challenges, ultimately enhancing your mental health and wellness journey.
