Intern Counsellors

Our counselling interns are graduate-level trainees who provide low-cost therapy under the supervision of an experienced Registered Clinical Counsellor. This is a great option for clients seeking accessible, high-quality support while contributing to the training of emerging clinicians.

Please note: sessions with intern counsellors are *not* eligible for extended health benefits.

Post-Graduate Counselling

Our post-graduate counsellors are emerging clinicians who have finished their graduate programs and are completing the final steps toward full licensure. During this period, they are considered pre-licensed and practice under supervision as they await registration through professional bodies like BCACC or CCPA.

Specialty: Adult Individuals, Couples & Youth

Issues: Anxiety / Depression / Stress / Narcissistic Abuse / Grief & Loss / Separation & Divorce / Trauma / Relationships

Modalities: Person-Centered / Trauma Informed / Solution-Focused / CBT / Emotion Focused / Gottman Method

​As a counsellor, my goal is to provide a safe space where authenticity, empathy, and honour are expressed. I will walk alongside you as you journey through the struggles of anxiety, grief, depression, domestic abuse, divorce, confusion, conflict, or anger. I want my clients to feel heard and understood without judgment. I aim to collaborate with you to meet your goals and tailor psychoeducational techniques to suit your individual needs. I have completed my Master of Counselling degree through Briercrest College, and am in good standing with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

​ Aside from pursuing counselling, I have raised two amazing children whom I am incredibly grateful for. I have also experienced the pain and struggle of navigating through divorce. My experiences have given me new understanding, clarity, insight, resilience, and strength.

Outside of counselling, I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors with friends and family, skiing, hiking, horseback riding, and taking my dog to the lake. I take every opportunity to appreciate the rejuvenating aspects of nature and feel blessed to call beautiful British Columbia my home.

​ Please feel free to reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation call.
