I offer a compassionate lens with an emotion focused approach when working with individuals, couples, and groups.

​

My experience and passion is drawn from holistic psychology, traditional therapies, and nature based practices to offer empathetic, authentic, meaning driven counselling. I will work with you at your pacing. I specialize in integrative counselling, emotional intelligence, and work around authenticity. 

 

My formal training is in holistic counselling, additionally completing a two year mentorship with Robert Masters, PhD in intuitive integral counselling with a special focus on shadow work. My other areas of study include attachment, mindfulness, relationship, and somatic work through a Hakomi lens.

​

My journey to becoming a counsellor began in my early thirties. I first encountered therapy as a client for many years working through personal issues around family, individuation, spirituality, anxiety and depression. 

​

Here I discovered the importance and necessity of exploring one's inner world as a catalyst to unlocking creativity, passion and freedom within ones life. During this transformative process I felt moved to share the work with others which eventually led me to my studies in Toronto, ON.

​

In 2018 after my training and practicum I began work as an addictions counsellor and farm program coordinator with men in recovery from addiction and mental health, north of Toronto. 

 

I now reside in Okanagan Falls, BC with my family and continue a local and online private practice. Additionally I offer men's groups, contemplative movement groups, and also work alongside Indigenous communities on food sovereignty projects. 

​

My other passions include hiking, contemplative movement practices, swimming in fresh water, and gardening. 

​

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada.
