Practice information:

I believe that each person is capable of healing and producing growth and transformation in their life. People continually overcome difficult experiences in life and are able to accomplish more than they can imagine. I will journey alongside you through the highs and lows as you work through challenges and take steps toward change. You can expect genuineness, compassion, empathy, and laughter throughout this process. My approach to counseling does not involve telling you what to do but is rather about partnering with you to discover and bring about the growth and new direction you long for. 

I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of the Fraser Valley and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Registered Social Worker. My approach to therapy includes the use of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, as well as self-compassion and mindfulness practices.

I work with adults, youth, and couples from a variety of cultural backgrounds and identities. I incorporate a social justice-oriented and trauma-informed lens and my approach is always tailored to your unique needs and intersecting identities. I will collaborate with you to ensure that your needs are met and will continually adjust my approach as needed so that it fits for you and is moving you in the direction that you hope for. 

I also bring an anti-oppressive lens to the work that I do which means I am constantly holding an awareness of the ways that power and oppression impact and cause suffering for the individuals I work with. I strive to provide a safe, accepting, and empowering space where you can share your stories of both pain and joy and move forward in creating new stories that align with your values and hopes in life.
