About Me
We walk on the healing path together: though I am a professional, you are the expert in your life. I respect your boundaries while encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and do things differently so you can grow/change. It is my hope that through counselling, people who struggle with life’s adversity will grow and change towards living and feeling empowerment, love, and compassion. I have been in the mental health and addictions field for approximately 20 years. I work with individuals on a range of areas including relationships, communications, grief, loss, addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (2019) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (2021), with a Masters in Counselling Psychology; my thesis was on “AA members’ vocational journeys in their recovery” and I completed my practicum at Living Systems. The modalities I mainly use are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have completed the Core Indigenous Cultural Safety Mental Health training; Neufeld Intensive I: Making Sense of Kids, and Levels 1, 2, and 3 of Clinical Training Gottman Method Couples Therapy; IFS Online Circle; and, EMDR basic and advanced trainings. I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR counsellor.
