About me
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from City University of Seattle and a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care Studies from the University of Victoria.
Based in the beautiful Sea to Sky corridor, I provide virtual and in-person counselling services to children, teens, adults, and families across British Columbia. With over a decade of experience working with children, young adults, and families, my approach integrates evidence-based theory with authenticity, curiosity, and a light touch of humour—helping to make even difficult conversations and thoughts feel more approachable. By focusing on building trust and fostering a genuine connection, I aim to support you in a way that feels both relatable and empowering.
My passion for authentic human connection is what led me to this career and continues to inspire my work. I believe that meaningful relationships are at the heart of effective therapy, and I strive to create a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and safe. In our time together, you’ll experience a genuine therapeutic relationship—one that integrates evidence-based theory with a grounded, human approach. I use thoughtful self-disclosure when it supports the therapeutic process, helping you feel more at ease and connected.
I recognize that many clients come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma, and I approach this work with deep respect for your lived experience. This is a space where your emotions, stories, and healing are honoured. Your time is valuable, and I aim to make each session feel purposeful, empowering, and attuned to your needs. While therapy can bring vulnerability and a wide range of emotions, it’s also a space for growth, insight, and celebration—of both the small shifts and the big breakthroughs.
Living in Squamish, I’m lucky to be surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest—towering forests, rugged mountains, and the ever-changing ocean. These landscapes aren’t just the backdrop to my life; they’re a reflection of what grounds me. Whether I’m hiking through the trees, swimming in the ocean, or simply taking in the view, nature is where I feel most like myself.The theme of my website—ocean blues and lush greens—draws from both my favourite colours and the environments that inspire me. I’m also drawn to warmer destinations, where palm trees and coastal waters offer a different kind of calm and joy. Travel is a big part of my life outside of work, and it’s often in these places that I reconnect with myself.To me, the ocean is more than a visual theme—it’s a metaphor for our emotional world. Like the tides, our moods ebb and flow. I bring this understanding into my work, holding space for the natural rhythms of healing and growth.
