About me
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). For the past 20 years I have worked in different roles as a facilitator, support worker, educator and therapist/counsellor. Since 2009, I have worked as an individual and family counsellor in Community Based agencies, Mental Health settings and Private Practice.
I completed my Master’s Degree in Child, Youth, Family and Community Studies at the University of Victoria (2012), with a specialized focus in individual and family counselling. I have received excellent clinical supervision, mentorship, and extensive training in a variety of therapeutic practices that inform my approach. This includes; Family Therapies (Systemic and Emotion Focused Family Therapy), Response Based Practice, Narrative Therapy, Expressive Therapies (art, movement), Mindfulness and Eco-therapy. I have also completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and completed a Diploma in Early Childhood Education (2003).
