About Me

I am a therapist, educator, Buddhist meditation practitioner and teacher. My practice is holistic and client-centered and integrates a variety of cognitive-behavioural, emotion and body-focused therapeutic approaches to meet the individual needs of the people I serve. I work from a trauma informed perspective and incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, spiritual wisdom tradition principles and nature therapy to develop a treatment plan that will work for you. When we work together I guarantee I will be fully present and committed to supporting your growth. I promise to provide honest, direct, professional, supportive and non-judgmental focus and support. I am based in Cranbrook, B.C. I provide in-person counselling services in Cranbrook and virtual counselling services across BC and Canada. I love to work with people who are committed to their growth and unfolding, drawing on my experience and training in meditation, counselling and the natural world to help people live richer lives of meaning, joy and purpose.
