"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Arthur Ashe -
Although we have likely heard 'time heals all' in my personal journey as a trauma survivor and clinician, I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change .... and finding the right therapist can be the first step in accomplishing your counselling goals!
We all need support sometimes... I am honoured when people allow me to offer support & counselling during a season when anxiety or depression, grief or loss (including pregnancy loss), trauma or intra-personal distress becomes overwhelming, or when you simply feel it's the right time to work through some issues.
Authenticity, trust and respect are the values of my practice, and I am available to support you as you pursue the changes you want your life.
Please feel completely welcome to contact me to schedule a complimentary 15 minute telephone or video consultation so we can decide if working together is the right fit for your needs and my areas of expertise!

I hold a masters degree in social work and bring 21 years compassionate experience in community-based & healthcare settings providing trauma-informed, spiritually sensitive and culturally safe counselling for individuals, families and groups. I am registered with both the BC and AB Colleges of Social Workers and a member of the BC Association of Social Workers.
I also offer Eye Movement & Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for individuals, first responders or veterans suffering with anxiety, trauma and PTSD. EMDR is a brief trauma therapy that can be very cost effective, as it can move you through the root of chronic symptoms that traditional talk and cognitive therapies cannot address as effectively. EMDR can alleviate PTSD related stress and enhance your quality of life by unblocking negative thoughts and sensations from the past that are distorting your present and future. EMDR can increase your resilience to negative experiences and support you to recover from them faster when they are unavoidable.
