Who I Work With
West Kelowna
I work with children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, women’s health and perimenopause, and the many challenges that can come with growing up or simply getting through a difficult season of life.
I also have a particular interest in working with first responders, military members and veterans, healthcare professionals, and other helping professionals who are used to being the person everyone else relies on.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), my services may be covered by your extended health benefits.

Who I Work With

Sometimes you know exactly what’s wrong. Other times, you just know you’re not feeling like yourself anymore. You might be anxious, burned out, grieving, struggling in your relationships, carrying something from the past, or trying to figure out what comes next.
Counselling is a place to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and start changing the patterns that are keeping you stuck. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you better understand yourself, develop practical coping strategies, and move toward the life you want to live.

Kids don’t always have the words to explain what’s going on and sometimes their behaviour tells us more than they can. Worry, big emotions, changes in behaviour, trouble at school, shutting down, or difficulty at home can all be ways kids show us they’re having a hard time.
I use play, creativity, conversation, and evidence-based approaches to help children and teens understand their emotions, build confidence, and develop skills that uniquely work for them.
Parents and caregivers are an important part of the process too, and we’ll work together to better understand what your child needs and how you can support them outside the counselling room and in everyday life.

There are seasons of life when it feels like everything is changing at once…your relationships, your body, your responsibilities, your identity, or what you thought this stage of life was supposed to look like. Add hormones, motherhood, work, caregiving, anxiety, grief, or burnout to the mix, and it can be hard to know what’s actually going on.
I work with women navigating these changes, with a particular interest in perimenopause (including parenting hormonal teenagers!) and midlife.
Together, we can make sense of what you’re experiencing, figure out what you need now, and help you feel more like yourself again.

When you’re used to being the person who stays calm, takes care of others, and gets the job done, it can be surprisingly hard to recognize when you’re the one who needs support.
Operational stress, trauma, burnout, moral injury, grief, and years of carrying responsibility can eventually take a toll.
Before becoming a counsellor, I served as a Pharmacy Officer and Platoon Commander in the Canadian Armed Forces and worked in healthcare, so I understand some of the culture that comes with these roles. You don’t need to translate the acronyms or pretend everything is fine.
My approach is practical, straightforward, and evidence-based, with room to talk openly about the things that can be difficult to say anywhere else.

Working in healthcare means spending your days caring for other people, and often while putting your own needs somewhere near the bottom of the list.
Long shifts, difficult cases, workplace pressures, moral distress, grief, burnout, and the responsibility that comes with caring for others can follow you long after you’ve gone home.
Having worked in healthcare myself, I understand that sometimes you need a place where you don’t have to be the professional in the room. Whether you’re questioning your career, feeling burned out, carrying experiences you can’t quite leave at work, or simply running on empty, counselling can give you space to sort through it and decide what you need next.

Sometimes the hardest part of a car accident isn’t the physical injury. You might find yourself gripping the steering wheel, avoiding certain roads, replaying the accident in your head, sleeping poorly, feeling on edge, or wondering why something that happened in a few seconds is still affecting you weeks later.
I provide counselling for people recovering from motor vehicle accidents, including support for driving anxiety, trauma symptoms, sleep difficulties, pain-related stress, changes in mood, and adjusting to life after an injury. We’ll work practically and at your pace to help you feel safer, more confident, and more like yourself again.
If your accident was recent, ICBC may cover counselling sessions without a doctor’s referral. I can help you understand the process so getting started feels like one less thing you have to figure out.

Being a counsellor means regularly finding yourself in situations where the answer isn’t obvious.
Supervision gives you a place to bring the complicated cases, ethical grey areas, documentation questions, professional growing pains, and the occasional “I have no idea what to do with this” moment.
My supervision style is collaborative, practical, and curious. We’ll think through cases together, strengthen your clinical reasoning, and make space for the parts of this work that affect you too. The goal is to help you become more confident in your own practice.

When families are going through separation or other family law matters, children can have important things to say about their lives and experiences.
A Hear the Child Interview gives them a neutral, age-appropriate space to share their views and have their voice heard.
As a trained Hear the Child interviewer, I meet with the child and prepare a clear, impartial report reflecting what they have shared.
My role is not to make recommendations about parenting arrangements or decide what should happen next, it is simply to make sure the child’s perspective is represented in a respectful and neutral way.
