With nearly three decades of experience, my passion has always been creating a safe and supportive path for people as they move through challenges and toward growth. What has always guided my work is a deep belief in people’s resilience and a commitment to creating a supportive space where healing and hope can take root.
My journey has taken me across the world. Originally from British Columbia, I moved to Australia at eighteen, where I lived for eleven years, met my husband, and became a mom to three wonderful boys. In 2007, our family relocated to South-East Asia for three years in a rural village. Immersing ourselves in the culture, I learned the language and co-created small-scale projects to support neighboring communities. Later, I co-directed a non-profit dedicated to empowering youth and families through education, life-skills programs, a soccer academy, after-school support, prison outreach, and services for the homeless.
Through nearly three decades of working with individuals and communities, I’ve witnessed incredible courage and transformation. These experiences inspired me to deepen my clinical knowledge, and in 2021, I completed my Master’s in Mental Health Psychology at the University of Liverpool (UK) and then became a Registered Clinical Counsellor.
In my counselling practice, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to create a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore what matters most to you. Together, we will nurture your strengths, gently shift patterns that no longer serve you, and create space for the goals and growth that matter most to you.
I draw on an integrative approach, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): shifting unhelpful thought patterns
Mindfulness practices: cultivating presence and self-compassion
Solution-Focused Therapy: building on strengths with clear, achievable steps
Emotion-Focused Therapy: exploring and processing core feelings with care
You don’t have to face this alone, and I would be honored to walk alongside you.
Right now, I am offering counselling online only, so we can connect from the comfort of your own space making it a convenient and accessible way to receive support wherever you are.
