For the past 15 years I have been working in healthcare and education gaining a wealth of experience that I am now eager to apply to my new career in counselling. I have been working with patients and students, supporting them both as they move toward the goals they have set for themselves. I will work with you, walk beside you, and be curious together on your journey through counselling. I believe my role is to hold space for whatever you may be feeling while exploring options to move you toward the changes you are seeking for your life. My role is never to judge, but rather to provide empathy, kindness, and encourage your growth even when you may not be able to provide that to yourself. My goal is to create a partnership of mutual respect and trust, and then empower you by helping you recognize your strength and capacity.
I am an intern completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, and I hold a Bachelor of Health Science from Thompson Rivers University. I have had the privilege of hearing the stories of the people I have worked with and have watched their persistence to improve amid chaos and heartache. I have been blessed to witness extraordinary acts of courage in seemingly small moments, and I have seen these to be transformative. This led to the change in my career and the opportunity and privilege to work with you
I will focus on your individual nature, the journey of self-discovery and your full potential as a person. I use positive psychology which focuses on the traits all people have to flourish, thrive and grow, even in the face of adversity.
Outside of work, I enjoy getting out hiking with her dog, paddleboarding, and finding new bakeries to try.
