Practice Information

Are you feeling stuck in your relationships, mental health, career, or life in general? I want you to know that you're not alone. 


Since 2018 I've had the privilege to journey with and witness multiple clients rewiring old patterns, shifting limiting beliefs, and integrating new ways of thinking and feeling. 
I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling from Trinity Western University. I’m here to listen without judgment, to offer thoughtful feedback, and to help you uncover and heal what might be hidden beneath the surface.

My main counselling approach is Observed Experiential Integration (OEI) which gently releases trauma in the mind and body through somatic work. Derived from EMDR, OEI can be powerful when working with trauma and stuck emotions. It helps uncover and release core challenging emotions gently, quickly and effectively.

Besser Van Der Kolk, an award-winning author and psychiatrist, speaking of the key for transformation, wrote that "for our physiology to calm down, heal, and grow, we need a visceral feeling of safety." This feeling of safety is what I want to facilitate for my clients.


Please click on the book now button on my website or email me to book a free 15-minute consultation.

I offer individual, couples, group and family counselling sessions. 

I also lead an assertiveness workshop on a weekly basis to help clients grow in their communication skills and experience new ways of showing up while being true to who they are and respectful to others.

When the Light Fades: Understanding and Coping with Seasonal Affective Disorder

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, many people notice a subtle change within themselves. For some, it’s simply the natural slowing of autumn’s rhythm — a pull toward warmth, reflection, and rest. But for others, the shift in seasons brings something heavier: low mood, fatigue, irritability, and a loss of motivation. This experience is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, most often appearing in fall and winter when daylight hours decrease. The Science Behind the Seasonal Shift Our bodies and minds are deeply attuned…
