Practice information:

I have a genuine enthusiasm for the work I do and bring a rich balance of personal, professional and educational experience. As a Registered Social Worker (#10030) with a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology, my unique education offers a fresh perspective and keen insights into the difficulties of being human. I’ve been helping others move through difficult life transitions for more than 20 years. My office is located downtown Vernon in the beautiful North Okanagan.

Seeking counselling is usually motivated by discomfort. You may be experiencing feelings of deep sadness or anger bubbling below the surface.  Perhaps you can’t quiet a ridiculously busy mind or obsessive thinking. It could be a physical manifestation—chronic aches and pains, difficulties with your partner or an intense nightmare you can’t shake. Whatever the motivating factor for reaching out, it is possible to feel better and live the life you love.

A transpersonal orientation explores the full range of human experience, addressing challenges within the context of the whole system—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and creative. This vantage allows me to address your pain and suffering within the context of a larger purpose. My counselling style is warm, collaborative and respectful, approaching each person with non-judgemental curiosity. I believe each of us is on a healing journey seeking meaning and purpose in life. I view obstacles as opportunities for growth and trust that life circumstances cultivate movement towards wholeness.

I see my role as a guide, gently encouraging recognition of unconscious factors that impact your daily life. I pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, bodily felt sense, intuition and dreams, ultimately strengthening all ways of knowing. Through increased awareness and self-compassion, you will step more fully into a life you love.
