Serving: Children Youth Adults Young Adults Couples Families

Years ago, as a corporate manager, I asked myself, “How can I help others get unstuck?”. I then turned to coaching. This pursuit lit a fire within me, and I knew the next step was to become a clinical counsellor. Around this time, I sat across from a counsellor and worked through an area where I felt stuck. Counselling helped me consider new possibilities and perspectives, releasing me from stronghold judgments. I reflect on how delicate my issue was and what a vulnerable place I found myself in. As a counsellor, I want to ensure you feel safe when sharing. I see you as the expert in your life. You will not feel rushed, and I will respond to you from a place of empathy. My focus is on your needs. I avoid judging you for any reason and accept you fully and unconditionally. You will lead throughout our sessions. You will decide how much information to share and at what pace. I will create an environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your unfiltered truth.

Get To Know Me Personally

  • I love being in nature, noticing the stunning view, or listening to the birds. I feel bliss when my daughter brushes my hair. I adore Banter’s ice cream, especially the Melted Chocolate flavour.

  • I wanted to help others in a more meaningful way. I am honoured to walk alongside people who desire growth and wellness. I celebrate you as you overcome obstacles, discover new possibilities, and transform your life.

  • My commitment to balance. I reflect on the different areas in my life and try to stay balanced. I take steps to feel calm, grounded, and clear-headed. I want to honour my commitments, values, and the beautiful people in my life.

  • The prime minister of Canada! I even attended a youth academy in Ottawa focused on the House of Commons and Senate.

  • I’m planning my next adventure! I love exploring new trails with my kiddos or trying something new with my husband, like kayaking down the Vedder River!

  • Counselling is a safe space where you can share without experiencing judgment. You can name what you want from counselling, whether it is to be heard and understood, uncover a solution, or another goal entirely. The time is yours; you drive the session forward and decide how the time unfolds.

  • I love connecting with others and hearing their stories. I am honoured to hear of someone’s journey. I want to walk alongside you and let you know you are seen.

  • Clients have often mentioned that I have a calm and stable presence which makes them feel comfortable. They have also remarked on my warmth following my interaction with them. Additionally, clients have found my approach to be refreshing and appreciate that they can be themselves and choose the direction they want to go in.

  • I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it. – Maya Angelou
