I have a Masters degree in Clinical Counselling from Adler University and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC #14287). My journey to becoming a therapist started in 2011 where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Simon Fraser University. My experience started out as working as a Behavioural Interventionist and Educational Assistant with children and adolescents with special needs. Working for non-profit organizations in the community as an Addictions Counsellor and a Family Counsellor has also provided me with extensive knowledge and training.
I have a passion for empowering clients to uncover their best selves. This passion has led to career opportunities that have allowed me to walk alongside children, youth, men, and women struggling with a variety of life challenges and struggles. I believe that counselling should serve as a safe space that allows us to explore and discover our path to healing and transformation. I understand the vulnerability that clients bring to the therapy room and work to provide clients with a non-judgmental and accepting environment.
In addition to my private practice, I also work with the Primary Care Network Counselling Support Services (PCN) at Share Family and Community Services. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety and/or depression, I provide a safe, warm, compassionate, and empathetic space for you to move through many of these struggles, along with practical tools to begin to make shifts and changes in your life. I believe in people and know there is hope for everyone when they feel heard, understood and accepted.
