I am extremely passionate about helping people achieve wholeness, get unstuck, find purpose and recover from anxiety, depression and myriad other issues. I love to bring humor, optimism, empathy and compassion into my person-centered, and non-judgemental approach to therapy. Becoming partners with you in your journey of self- discovery while helping uncover strengths and resources, already inherent and present, is my pleasure and honor.

I am a graduate of the Vancouver College of Counselling Therapists and have Life Coaching Certification from Rhodes Wellness College in Vancouver, BC. Having a thriving private music studio for over 30 years has taught me many things, primarily that we all need community and don’t do life alone well for long! We all need genuine connection and a big part of my approach to therapy is not only building relationship and trust within the therapeutic sessions, but ultimately helping you integregrate this in your life as well. My clientele has encompassed all ages but I have a particular affinity for teens and young adults. They continue to inspire me with their creativity and insight.

My drive to pursue counselling came from a hunger to assist these very same students in their impediments to succeeding in their worlds filled with increasing angst and depression. My background with “one -on- one” as well as group teaching has helped equip me in this exciting and rewarding field of counselling!

When not counselling, teaching, or performing, you will find me at the CrossFit gym, hiking, reading, baking or volunteering!
