My background is as a music and theatre teacher of over 15 years. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC, and have a Master’s of Education in Counselling Psychology from UBC.
I have extensive training in Focusing and Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy (IFOT), which involves tapping into your body’s internal resources for healing. I have further training in trauma-informed practice, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), TheraPlay, Synergetic Play Therapy, and somatic therapy.
I work with adults, children, youth and families, in areas such as trauma, addiction, eating disorders, self-harm, depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, gender identity, grief, and more.
