As a graduate of the UBC Counselling Psychology department and a Registered Clinical Counsellor I bring over 20 years of experience working with adults 18+ who seek counselling for Trauma, PTSD, impacts of Indian Residential Schools, Depression, Anxiety, Grief & Loss, Stress, Life Transitions, Loneliness/Isolation and Relationship issues. I work from an integrated framework, drawing from evidence-based and experiential modalities to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. Not one counselling modality will fit all clients’ needs; therefore, I prefer to incorporate modalities from several areas such as: Somatic Therapy & Body Awareness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Parts Work, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

My clinical approaches used in session are person-centred & strengths-based for prioritizing the client’s autonomy and unique lived experience, focusing on inherent resilience, capabilities, and internal resources. Psychoeducation for empowering clients with clear, accessible information regarding nervous system regulation, behavioral patterns, and psychological concepts to foster self-discovery. Holistic wellness addressing psychological, emotional, physical, and relational dimensions of well-being to achieve comprehensive healing.

I am a kind, compassionate, and down-to-earth person and I strive to establish a client-first environment that balances authentic warmth with professional, high-standard clinical care.
