I am a dedicated and compassionate Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) with a Diploma in Professional Counselling from Kelowna College of Professional Counselling. I'm naturally a person people come to for support and advice, friends, family, whoever needs it,

and that pull toward helping others is what guided me into this work.

My personal and professional journey has given me a deep understanding of what it's like to feel overwhelmed, self-doubting, or out of step with your own mind. Combined with my clinical training, that lived experience lets me create a space where clients feel genuinely seen and understood. My cozy office in downtown Kelowna offers a warm, private space to do this work, with free parking.

I specialize in ADHD, particularly in teen girls and women, along with anxiety, self-esteem and confidence, life transitions, and personal growth, as well as relationship and grief support. My own experience with ADHD is a big part of why I do this work. I wanted to be the counsellor I needed when I was younger and didn't have the language for what I was going through.

What sets me apart is my unique blend of directness and empathy. I ask probing questions that help clients better understand themselves, identifying areas for self-reflection and growth. I am passionate about research, professional development, and finding the techniques that best support my clients.

Balancing my professional life with personal interests and family commitments is crucial. I prioritize family while ensuring I spend enough time on self-care. I love outdoor activities like hiking, paddleboarding, and spending time at the beach. I enjoy going to the gym, yoga, and travelling whenever possible in colder months.

For those thinking about counselling for the first time, please look at the 15-minute free consult to ensure you are a good fit with your counsellor. The counsellor-patient relationship significantly impacts therapy's progress and outcomes.

In my practice, I support clients in setting and achieving personal goals through achievable short-term and long-term objectives, regularly reevaluating and adjusting them. I also incorporate recommended reading and homework to maximize the benefits of our sessions.

Looking ahead, I am committed to honing my skills, and my dedication to personal growth and professional development ensures I provide the most effective care for my clients.
