I'm a trauma-informed counsellor and coach passionate about helping people, like you, navigate tougher moments with more ease, strength, and confidence. Whether you're trying to navigate parenthood, relationships, healing from past trauma, or just ready to rediscover your spark, I'm here to listen and guide you forward.
It's about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported...exactly as you are.
I'm a proud mom of two young men and a devoted dog mom to Lola. Living in the beautiful West Kootenays, surrounded by forest and mountains, keeps me grounded and inspired—it's the same energy I bring to my work with clients.
Locally, I serve on the Board of Directors for Diverse Family Roots Society, building stronger connections for families and communities, and I work as a 'Stopping The Violence' Women's Counsellor and Safe Home Coordinator in our small community.
Outside the office, you'll find me hiking trails, road biking, snowboarding, nordic skiing, camping, or simply soaking up lake time with family and friends. These moments in nature recharge me deeply, and I make space for quiet reflection and self-care downtime—because I know how essential it is to refill your own cup before you can show up fully for others.
That balance between adventure, reflection, and rest is what fuels my passion for helping people reclaim their strength and live with more intention.
Like many of you, I've walked through my own challenges with parenting, relationships, trauma, healing, and growth. That lived experience lets me connect with real empathy—no judgment, just honest understanding of what it takes to show up and keep going.
Warm, practical, and tailored to you. I blend tools like Solution-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices for releasing stored trauma, and life coaching insights to create a safe space for real change. Together, we'll focus on what works for you and your life, building resilience, finding clarity, and taking steps that feel right for you. No rush, just steady support rooted in compassion and respect.
What I love most is walking alongside people as they reclaim their strength. With over 20 years supporting families and individuals, plus my own journey through healing and parenting, I get it...the ups, the setbacks, the wins.
Many clients love how this solution-focused foundation allows for real momentum: after listening deeply, I'll share straightforward reflections and optional tasks to try between sessions, helping turn insights into everyday change. We always check in to ensure it feels supportive, especially in trauma work where your pace and choices guide everything.
