My approach

We all find ourselves in moments where life feels hard. In these moments, we are called upon to explore our soft spots. It is in these spots that we can find flexibility.

I have been working with adolescents and their families for over 20 years as a Canadian Certified Counsellor and as an experienced educator in the school system.

My therapeutic approach is to offer support and guidance through kindness, compassion, empathy and a dash of good humour. I offer teletherapy counselling across BC and welcome all folks. In particular, I am passionate about working with people who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ and their families.

Adolescent counselling (12+) aims to prevent and treat challenges facing young folks during a complex and influential stage of development.

individual counselling

Individual counselling is self-care. Often, we are the last ones we offer care to in our lives.

2SLGBTQIA+ folks and families counselling

I offer an inclusive and affirming space where 2SLGBTQIA+ identifying folks and families can be present and share without cis or heteronormative presumptions.

Relationships and families are complicated. Let’s explore how to honour and support each other, and how to continue to be present for the ones we care about.
