BIOGRAPHY

Hey there, so glad you found your way here! A bit about me… 

My counselling education journey began back in 2011. Since then, I have worked in a variety of health & wellness support roles throughout Alberta and Vancouver Island. Most recently I had the pleasure of providing counselling services to Coast Salish communities on Vancouver Island and worked within a small counselling practice. 

I weave my formal counselling background with my inner heart-centered knowing, pulling inspiration from various clinical approaches, while also drawing on the wisdom of my own human journey. My counselling approach is rooted in an integrative, non-pathologizing, trauma-informed, and strengths-focused perspective. In a nutshell, this translates to an intention to approach our work together holistically and collaboratively, to place less emphasis on “treating” and more on “co-creating,” to identify and harness your innate strengths, and acknowledge and honor your inherent wholeness, all while maintaining awareness of trauma and its impacts. 

I find inspiration in Humanistic Psychology (Values the whole person), Transpersonal Psychology (Where psychology and spirit meet), Internal Family Systems (Inner “parts” work), Somatic/Body-centered approaches (Connecting with the wisdom of the body), Self-Compassion practice (Weaving compassion into one’s healing journey). 

An insight I continuously return to through the years is that healing is less about arriving at a particular destination where we get “fixed,” and more about a journey of compassionate integration and radical acceptance of all parts of ourselves. Yes, even the parts of ourselves we dislike!

I am pleased to offer individual 1:1 counselling services for adults. If you connect with what you see here, I encourage you to reach out. I look forward to meeting you!
