If you’re struggling with anxiety or depression, living with chronic pain or illness, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, you don’t have to go through it alone. I help adults in Kamloops—and across Canada via virtual sessions—cope with life’s mental and emotional challenges in a way that feels grounded, collaborative, and attuned to what matters most to you.

In my counselling office, you can unburden yourself and be fully seen. Together, we’ll meet your struggles with self-compassion, reconnect you to what’s most important, and take supportive steps towards the life you want to live.

My Approach

Counselling with me is down-to-earth, flexible, and centred on you. I bring a trauma-informed, compassionate lens to our work together, without assuming that trauma is at the core of everything. Sometimes, people simply need a place to talk things through, manage stress better, or feel less alone in what they’re facing.

I work from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based frameworks, helping you move toward a more meaningful, values-aligned life. Together, we’ll make room for your full experience—grief, joy, frustration, resilience—and support you in taking gentle, empowering steps forward.

Common Focus Areas

You’re welcome to work with me if you’re hoping to:

Manage anxiety, depression, or general stress
Process grief or burnout
Navigate life transitions, caregiving, or role changes
Increase self-compassion and reduce internalized shame
Build coping tools for ongoing or unpredictable health conditions
Explore your values and sense of purpose

My Areas of Focus

Living with Chronic Pain or Disability

If you're dealing with physical limitations, chronic illness, or long-term healing, I offer both clinical expertise and lived experience. My practice is especially attuned to the invisible weight of persistent pain, post-viral symptoms, fatigue, or disability—not just the physical toll, but also the emotional one.

Our work can gently explore:

The mental health impact of chronic pain or medical conditions
Internalized ableism and shifting identity
Coping with fatigue, brain fog, and reduced capacity
Grieving the life you thought you'd have—and reclaiming joy in what is still possible

My fully accessible office is located in Kamloops, BC. I also offer secure virtual counselling across Canada.
