My passion for assisting others as a counsellor has been cultivated from both my personal experiences of navigating life’s challenges, as well as my professional experience as a Learning Resource Teacher over the past two decades, journeying with many neurodiverse learners and their families. I have a particular interest in working with those who have experienced loss, are adjusting to change and are navigating regulation or relational challenges. I have a range of ways to support connection and growth, but you will find I lean toward experiential modalities where mind-body connection is explored and harnessed to support the client’s desired change.

 

When working with clients, my goal is to empower them to connect with their inner wisdom using skill development, transforming limiting beliefs, and imparting hope that change is possible. My approach is founded on attentive listening, openness, and empathy, with the aim to support clients to come into realignment and welcome all parts of themselves. 

 

I hold a Masters of Education in Special Education from UBC and I am thrilled to now be a practicing Intern in the final stages of completing my three year Masters of Counselling with City University of Seattle. I am registered as a student member of BCACC.
