Educational Background

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, and a proud Mom of two daughters. Recently, our family made an exciting decision to move back “home” to Delta, BC, from Calgary, AB; I continue to maintain my designation as a Registered Psychologist in Alberta (College of Alberta Psychologists - Alberta only) to continue supporting Alberta-based clients virtually. I offer in-person counselling locally in South Delta, and virtual services to folks in BC and AB.

I am passionate about providing trauma-informed, perinatal (pregnancy/postpartum) counselling. I have over a decade of experience providing compassionate counselling services to help individuals and couples cope with challenges related to anxiety, depression, perinatal mood disorders, trauma, parenting, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at University of Victoria, in 2009, and my Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology at Adler University, Vancouver campus, in 2015.

Since 2015, I have been providing compassionate counselling services to individuals and couples in private practice, corporate, and agency settings. I help my clients learn practical tools to manage challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parenting, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

Perinatal Mental Health (Pregnancy, Postpartum, Fertility)

I feel privileged to support parents through the complexities of parenthood. I have a specialized focus in working with Moms navigating through their perinatal journeys, from conception to pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. My own experience through pregnancy and motherhood has helped shape my interest in perinatal and maternal mental health. I have completed specialized training in maternal mental health, holding certificates of completion for Bringing Light to Motherhood: Perinatal Mental Health Certificate Training from Maternal Mental Health Now, Advanced Perinatal Mental Health Psychotherapy Training Certificate from Postpartum Support International.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

I am an EMDR trained therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), holding an EMDRIA-approved basic training certificate from the Envision Academy at Envision Workshops. In therapy, I use an integrative approach, drawing from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and self compassion. Our approach is guided by your unique needs.

In my spare time, I love to be outdoors doing physical activity and enjoying nature with friends and family.

I believe that having a “good fit” with your counsellor is one of the most important aspects of counselling, so if you feel like we might be a fit—feel free to reach out! I also offer a 15 minute free phone consultation to help you decide, if you’d like.

I can’t wait to meet you (or re-connect, if it’s been a while)!
