How I can be of help?
Are you finding yourself having stronger than expected reactions to stressful circumstances?
Having difficulty remaining in the moment without thoughts of past upsetting events tripping you up?
Living with recurring nightmares or sleep disturbances connected to traumatic experiences from your past?
By combining various therapies such as EMDR, CBT and Mindfulness,
I help my clients:
Identify negative thinking patterns; areas of emotional dysregulation and physiological discomforts related to their triggers; stress inducing experiences, and trauma.
Develop skills to navigate through these impactful areas of their experience, and,
Move through their past and present traumatic experiences with the hopes of receiving healing, recovery and hope to move on in their everyday life.
Experience
I have extensive experience, both as a counsellor and as a pastor, walking alongside others helping to guide them through their various life experiences and challenges. Life can be difficult at times and having someone with the education, skill and life experience to walk alongside you through those difficult times can help you discover the reassurance that you are more resilient than you realized and that there is a way through.
I work with clients who are living with and experiencing various emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational struggles such as anxiety/depression, loss/grief, burnout/stress, loss of purpose and meaning, relational concerns, and trauma of various kinds.
Credentials
I have my Master of Counselling degree (MC) and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in good standing with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).
I am trained in Level I & II EMDR therapy – an effective and researched based approach to working with clients who have experienced various traumatic events.
Let’s work together
If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

As a counsellor, my goal is to provide a safe space where authenticity, empathy, and honour are expressed.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck in life’s complexities?
In today’s fast-paced and challenging world, it’s natural to feel confused, isolated, exhausted and trapped, or unsure about the next step. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, emotional turmoil, low self esteem, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, I’m here to help you find clarity and regain your balance.
Regardless of your age or relationship status, my goal is to walk alongside you with respect and compassion, helping you explore your experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space where your story truly matters.
Reconnecting with your emotional needs and fostering a relationship of respect with yourself is the foundational step to finding your centre and building authentic connections with others. I believe that the best healing happens through collaboration and trust. Our collaborative work will cultivate a strong therapeutic alliance, enabling you to enhance your self-awareness and reconnect with what is essential to you.
No one is an island. We are immersed in our environment, constantly interacting with it, which influences us. The unique story of every individual is crucial, and i acknowledge how social and cultural contexts play a role in influencing your life, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This enables me to provide a sensitive and understanding perspective regarding your life and relationships.
What It Is Like To Work With Me
I believe in a holistic approach that is grounded in Gestalt Therapy, Person-Centred, Existential and Zen philosophy, Transactional Analysis, and Mindfulness practices—integrating insights from these traditions to meet your unique needs. This means focusing on the here-and-now experience, developing mindfulness, and considering the entirety of a person, encompassing their mental, physical, and emotional aspects.
