Sometimes navigating challenges can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage when our capacity feels full.

I see humans as holistic beings through a biopsychosocial lens, acknowledging the interplay of the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of our contexts. I have had the privilege of working with an array of clients and their challenges, including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, stress, eating disorders, ADHD, processing grief, and life transitions. At the heart of my approach is the therapeutic relationship, which is built on unconditional positive regard, non-judgment, empathy and safety.<\/p>\n I have a background in Psychology and World Literature from Simon Fraser University, and currently at the end of my Master of Arts in Clinical Counselling Psychology thesis program at Adler University. Prior to graduate training, I worked as researcher within the field which influenced my keen interest in understanding the human experience, along with supporting and advocating for individuals in crisis and at risk. I take it to be the greatest honor to be a witness to and have the opportunity to hold people\u2019s stories in a therapeutic setting.

I took my passion for working with children and started working in the school-based system where I enjoyed 5 plus years. <\/span><\/p>\n My time in the school-based system opened my eyes to the increasing behaviors in the classroom, but most of these children had no support as they were diagnosed with ADHD or other behavioural issues. I felt there was a need to understand and help these kids to understand themselves and to navigate the school setting that was so turbulent for them, so I designed a program based on accountability and awareness that has been extremely successful. I felt there was so much more to learn so I broadened my scope and took Expressive Play Therapy and Play Therapies at the Justice Institute Of BC. <\/span><\/p>\n I have also attended Sand Play Therapy at Trinity Western University.

I also believe in a collaborative relationship with parents and other caregivers to promote a positive support network to surround the child or youth.<\/span><\/p>\n At the start of your therapeutic journey, we will <\/span>collaborate on individualized goals that align with your unique needs. My warm, gentle, and attentive nature will hopefully foster validation, empowerment and encouragement.
