My mission as a counsellor is to create a safe and welcoming environment where individuals and families can come in their most vulnerable times.  I believe that with the proper support every one of us can move through the darkness and into the light.  As a counsellor I will walk beside you on your path to becoming your most healed and happy self. I am here to support you as you work towards personal growth and transformation. 

A little about me:

I am a trauma informed counsellor who is a recent graduate in the Professional Counselling Diploma program at Rhodes Wellness College. I have over 100 hours of face to face practical client experience.  My approach to counselling is rooted in client centered talk therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify their strengths, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies for achieving their goals. I believe that counselling is a process of self-discovery, and I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their values, fears, roadblocks and relationships.

I have over 10 years experience in education working closely with students from grade 1 to grade 12.  My experience includes working with individuals with behavior, cognitive and physical challenges as well as years of experience working one on one with students in the ELL (English as a learning language) program. 

On a personal note, I have been with my husband for 28 years total and married for 15 years.  We have two grown children and two grandchildren.   I have a passion for the outdoors and love exploring the mountains through paddleboarding, hiking and camping with family and friends.  I am a compassionate, caring individual who believes that everyone has the potential to reach their goals and be their best selves.
