Hi there! I'm so happy you're here. 

With gratitude and respect, I acknowledge that I am a settler living in Lake Country, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan people. 

I am dedicated to creating a warm, judgment-free space where you can connect with your authentic identity. My work is rooted in understanding your identities within your context. By exploring these unique intersections, I aim to help you find joy and meaning in your life while navigating life's complex challenges.

I’ve supported people navigating addictions, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, chronic health conditions, gender identity, relationships, and grief. As someone with lived experience of ADHD and chronic health challenges, I bring deep empathy to those living with invisible struggles. I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults, and I welcome clients of all ages seeking personalized support. I hold a bachelor’s degree from UBC Okanagan and a master’s degree from the University of Lethbridge. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), and my services are eligible for insurance plans that cover mental health counselling.

My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, neurodivergent-informed, and integrative. I draw from:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Emotion-Focused Therapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Feminist Therapy

Outside of counselling, I’m an avid reader, painter, runner, and volleyball player. I also enjoy all things fantasy and sci-fi and can often be found trying out a new game, or playing in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. I will never miss an opportunity to geek out with anyone who shares these interests!

My CCPA registration is CCC #11249309
