Many of us feel stuck in our daily lives, not knowing exactly how to get the progress that we want. Depression, anxiety, and trauma can hold us back from where we deserve to be and can negatively affect our well-being and relationships. No two people are the same and it is my goal to help you recognize your own unique strengths, integrating a case-specific approach to create your unique therapy plan. I am here to offer mental health support in a non-judgmental, friendly, and compassionate space.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and licensed with the BCACC with an RCC designation. I am also registered with the CCPA and have a CCC designation. I am a member of the BC Chapter of the Association of Family Conciliation Courts.
Additionally, I am registered as a counsellor with the Crime Victim Assistance Program and have further training and certification in Trauma-Focused CBT to be able to help those who have symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, fear, anxiety, or depression, related to traumatic life events.
I am part of the Crossroads Collective High Conflict team which specializes in working with families who are navigating heightened levels of conflict, and/or have been court-involved. I am trauma-informed and have specialized knowledge and extensive training in high-conflict family dynamics.
I have experience working with clients who are neurodivergent and recognize the unique differences that come with that. I have supported children, youth, and adults with ADHD, Autism, ODD, and OCD.
I have a play therapy certificate and love working with kids to offer mental health support in a fun, friendly, and compassionate space. Trained in the foundations of play therapy, I use this method to help children express and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while guiding them in building coping skills and emotional regulation.
As an option, I am able to meld my two passions: psychology and music to offer music-integrated therapy. This can be particularly useful in calming the autonomic nervous system, reducing anxiety, and building self-confidence and competency through a creative outlet that brings joy.
