  • I use a combination of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) , ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), EMDR, and Gottman Couples Counselling methods. I integrate tangible strategies with space to talk and process.

  • Therapy in Kelowna for ADHD, trauma, OCD, neurodiverse, and creative people. I support adults, couples, children, and teens in writing the next chapter of their story while navigating challenges. Together, we'll work towards building peace and a deeper sense of safety and control in your life. With a foundation of empathy, I aim to offer a safe, supportive space where you can be accepted just as you are while working towards living more authentically.

    As an artist, I love to support creative and artistic individuals who have passions that are important to them.

  • When I am not counselling, I enjoy painting, reading fiction, and being a dog mom. I have my own personal experience in navigating depression and ADHD. I know firsthand how reaching out for help and facing personal challenges can feel daunting. I understand that life comes with complex challenges that can bring up painful emotions that can be difficult to navigate. I work with youth, and adults to navigate these challenges. I support clients in living more fully while navigating life's painful and difficult moments. Through a collaborative therapeutic process, we'll work towards building peace and a deeper sense of personal meaning in your life. Through the therapeutic journey, I will encourage and support you to live more consciously and purposefully. With a foundation of empathy, trust, and active listening, I aim to offer a safe, supportive space where you can be accepted just as you are while working towards living more authentically.
