I support Big Feelers, Strong Thinkers, and People Feeling Stuck. You know that feeling where you have so much more to give, but can’t seem to get moving? Whether it's the feelings that arrive faster than you can process them, the overthinking that won't stop, or the stuckness that shows up out of nowhere – I can support you in finding your path to a meaningful life that fits with how your brain works. I’ll help you get back to what matters most and address what’s getting in your way.

Growing up in the Beaver Valley, I understand the importance of licensed mental health professionals that you can feel safe and secure accessing services with. Most of my clients experience neurodivergence, trauma, anxiety, OCD, and mood disorders — though those are not requirements for accessing services. I regularly work with women, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, Indigenous Peoples, and other diverse groups.

I completed my education at Selkirk College and the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus. Between 2014 and 2023, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology, a Master of Science in Indigenous Health, and a Master of Clinical Social Work. Following this, I became a registered social worker and started gaining the necessary hours to register as an RCSW. I expect to obtain my RCSW designation in the spring of 2028.

I take a holistic approach to understanding mental health conditions within the context of an individual's lived experiences. I regularly support women and diverse people with empowerment and self-efficacy. I use skills and techniques from a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities,  such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and somatic therapies.

Schedule a complimentary intake assessment to discuss what services may look like for you, including expected commitments and service duration. I believe everyone deserves therapeutic care that fits their needs, lived experiences, and how their brain works.

Appointments are now available both online and in-person at 1519 2nd Avenue, East Trail, BC. V1N 1M3.
