“The Body knows before Knowing.”

For the past decade, I’ve experienced personal psychotherapeutic work in a variety of settings, trained and served extensively in the experiential practices of Systemic Family Constellation Work, Heart-Centred Hypnotherapy, and The Way of Council. Prior to entering professional training for certification as a counsellor, I had facilitated and participated in numerous group processes and had volunteered as a lay counsellor for 4 years at Cowichan Family Life Association.

In 2017, I graduated the well-established and respected Kelowna College of Professional Counselling, with a Diploma in Professional and Applied Counselling Psychology and completed my certification in Heart-Centred Hypnotherapy at the Wellness Institute in Washington State, USA. I am now completing an Advanced Internship in Heart-Centred Therapies there and practicing as a Candidate member of the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association.

Apprenticing with my own lived experience of childhood neglect, sexual abuse, depression, and complex PTSD, I have also witnessed countless other individuals in recovery from childhood trauma, addiction, codependency, and other long-term patterns these experiences can create, with lived experiences of the provincial mental health care system.

I am well-versed in the experiential practices above as well as conventional counselling practices, evidence-based interventions, and the approach of 12-step programs, specifically Codependents Anonymous and Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families.

Other influences and areas of knowledge include (NVC) Compassionate Communication, the study of Consciousness and Non-Ordinary States, Transpersonal + Soul Psychology, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Process Addictions, High-Sensitivity + Giftedness, the mind-body connection, and Holotropic Breathwork.

In the session space, I witness, reflect, and inquire from a deeply compassionate and wide-angled lens of human experience. I work with what arises most naturally, with a keen eye and ear for what is possible, most needed, and ultimately empowering from that place.

Whether you may simply seek a safe place to figure out what’s next or you are ready to dive in deeply to the root of a recurring life pattern, I offer you this space to explore and inquire, speak out loud, unpack and reconnect. Sessions can be illuminating, grounding, empowering, and transformative, in any order.
