About Me

This Registered Clinical Counsellor offers compassionate support to individuals and couples. A welcoming space is created for exploring challenges and fostering understanding. Here, you can feel truly heard, navigating concerns with skill and care towards greater clarity. This approach suits those seeking a grounded, supportive relationship to help them move forward.

Approach

Conversations begin with curiosity and steady pacing, so you can explore hurts and patterns without feeling rushed. I offer both virtual sessions for people across British Columbia and face-to-face meetings in West Kelowna, keeping language clear and practical. Sessions blend attentive listening with gentle skill-building—breathing, boundary practice, and narrative reflection—alongside collaborative goals you can try between meetings to slowly shift anxiety, grief, or relationship patterns. This way of working often suits adults seeking thoughtful, supportive change.
