Client Services, Mental Health Intern, Low-Cost Therapy

If you’re a non-status Indigenous person, sessions with me are pay-what-you-can.

Hi! I am grateful to live, work and play within the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation, colloquially known as Kimberley, BC.  I attended Vancouver Island University for Child and Youth Care and I have worked in mental health with children, youth and their families, and parents for 15 years, supporting families to stay together or reunite and helping older youth without primary caregivers navigate some of life’s challenges.

I have been supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ community members and allies at Wildwood as Client Coordinator and the first point of contact for three years and I love to give folks a rewarding experience when asking for help.

I also bring the personal experience of being a mom in many roles. As a biological parent, stepparent and foster parent, I understand the many challenges that parents encounter raising their littles, and throughout the different stages of development from early days to high school.  I also recognize that I will always being learning when it comes to being a parent and this can be an isolating AND rewarding experience! 

I have been taking part in Wildwood’s internship program, training under Anja Hess, RCC #18489, and offering low-cost therapy. At this time, I am no longer accepting new clients.

Areas that I support include:

• Parenting

• Adoption and Fostering

• Anxiety and Depression

• Relationships and Boundaries

• Parent/Teen Conflict

• Identity & Self-Worth
