Welcome, I am a psychotherapist currently working in Castlegar BC, although I have lived in several different areas of Canada where I have been able to work with people in various settings. In Alberta I worked with children and youth in the school system as a therapist and teacher's assistant and planned events for large groups at a lakeside resort, and in Vancouver I pursued my Master of Arts in Counselling. During and after this time, I worked as a post-secondary counsellor with film students, a family therapist, substance use therapist, peer support worker, and in a hospice environment. Now living in the Kootenays I am working in private practice, and drawing from the wisdom I have learned from others along the way. 

I believe in the power of vulnerability, and the healing that can occur when we are given space to be who we authentically are, safely, and without censorship or judgment. First and foremost, this is the space that I offer within our sessions. You can read more about what this looks like in my approach and specialties. 

​

While my identity as a therapist is a core part of who I am, I work to treat other parts of myself with the same care and significance. In addition to being a therapist I am a mother/wife, self-taught harpist, and cinema and literature enthusiast. When I'm not counselling I love spending time with my family, being out in nature, gardening, spending time with animals, cooking, and collaborating creatively.
