I’m so glad you’re here!
Whether you're at the beginning of your journey to find support or whether you're actively looking into counselling options, one thing is sure: you're half way there. Just taking the step to come to this page places you on the path to meaningful change.
Finding help, building trust and a sense of safety in sharing requires a best fit. I have over 20 years of experience supporting a variety of different needs and situations, from neurodivergent kids, youth and adults, autistics, to those suffering with trauma, those navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, blended family or parenting challenges, transgender youth navigating complex circumstances (neurodivergent or not), in an often unsupportive world. Grief, loss, heartache so deep it seems impossible to imagine anything different. My journey to this point involves much of the above, along with feelings of being ‘stuck’ and with some wonderful counselling peppered in along the way.
It is with this background, in combination certification as a Behavior Analyst and a Registered Clinical Counsellor, with lived experience as a teen parent, single parent and parenting as part of a partnership, parenting neurodivergent children and youth, that I hope to create a culturally safe place where you are seen, heard and accepted as you are as we navigate what's on your plate.
We all have a story; I'm excited to hear yours.
I received a Master’s of Science in Behavior Analysis in 2011 and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (#1-13-13271) in 2013. In 2022, I went back to further my graduate studies and became a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#20462) under the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.
