It’s my goal to help people heal and grow through periods of transitions in their lives. Many of us experience loss, grief or unhappiness as we transition from one role to another in our daily lives. 

It’s my honour to help counsel you during these difficult transitions and help you heal from any of these experiences: 

  • Dream you don’t achieve
  • Changes in career
  • Diagnosis of a child with special needs
  • A loved one entering long term care
  • Divorce from a spouse 
  • Beginning of a new marriage

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) through BCACC. I am also licensed through CCPA and hold a CCC license. I completed my Masters of Counselling Psychology at Trinity Western University and began working in my own private practice in 2016.  Before going back to school to pursue my masters, I worked as a senior executive in sales and marketing.  I believe that my unique education has allowed me to help people grow and develop and create change for themselves.

About 10 years ago, I became involved in helping a family with special needs children and it was through that journey that I came to the work I am most passionate about; helping parents of special needs families.

    I am a mother of two children, and through my travels working with children in the school based system, I came to realize that I had a special gift for helping parents and children find solutions to difficult issues. Having resolved these issues, both parents and children experienced better quality of life.

    I have worked with children for the past five years in the school system as an Education Assistant.  This passion for helping children grow and excel propelled my quest for learning.  I began to learn and practice counselling through child play therapy.  I also have experience doing assessments with children to help get parents diagnoses for their child, and then put a plan in place to help parents access resources and funding within the community and the school district.

    My hope is to make a difference in the lives of these families and I would very much like to meet with your family and help make a difference in your lives.

    With my experience of working with children I have grown to realize that more children than not require more guidance in navigating the challenges of childhood. I have a strong passion of assisting children through these milestones and be a strong advocate for the support they need.

    For as long as I can remember I have worked with children, whether that be in the school system, out of homes, or through summer camps, I grew to realize that my heart has a large space reserved for these children who need this extra support.

    I believe in being an advocate for these children and educating and assisting families on how to pilot through these challenging years.

    Through my education of Music Therapy, I have adapted many of my interventions to tailor towards behavioural issues that arise. My goal is always to work through these behavioural attributes and get to the root of the behaviour.

    My passion of working with children has inspired me to continue my education and work towards my master’s in counselling psychology, as well as to practice the use of counselling through child play therapy.

    My hope is to make a difference for families, and to aid in guiding you through helping your child through any struggles that may arise.
