I believe that every person and family is unique, and that therapy should reflect that individuality. My practice draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Solution-Focused approaches.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW) with the BC College of Social Workers and hold a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia, along with an undergraduate degree in Psychology. As an RCSW, I am licensed under the Health Professions Act to provide assessments and diagnoses using the DSM-5. Additionally I am also a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.

Over the past 15 years, I have worked in the mental health and addictions field supporting children, youth, adults, and families through a wide range of challenges and life transitions. I have extensive experience helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, and difficulties related to work, school, or relationships. I also have specialized experience supporting clients with ADHD, ASD, OCD, and psychosis-related disorders.

Throughout my career, I have facilitated workshops focused on parenting strategies, ADHD, and crisis intervention. I am also a certified facilitator of the Circle of Security program—an early intervention approach that strengthens parent-child relationships. Much of my professional background includes work on multidisciplinary Mental Health teams serving children, youth, and adults, as well as providing therapy and consultation within school settings.

My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care and guided by an attachment-based perspective, emphasizing the importance of connection and relationships in mental health and well-being. I often integrate play and expressive tools to help clients explore and express their strengths, challenges, and experiences.

On a personal note, I bring warmth, humor, and empathy into each session, and I view therapy as a collaborative process between myself and my clients. As a mother of two, I deeply value connecting with children and youth in ways that feel genuine and relatable, while also supporting parents with understanding and compassion for the many challenges of raising children.
