Educational Background
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), and I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling from City University of Seattle. I completed a 3-year intensive training in Somatic Experiencing, a modality developed to support healing in those affected by traumatic impact. I completed undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia in Anthropology where I focused on Eastern philosophies and perspectives. I am a 500-hour yoga teacher and also hold certification as a Trauma Informed Yoga Practitioner. I have engaged in extensive research on using the body as a resource in the therapeutic treatment of individuals exposed to trauma. I view challenges and wellness from a holistic perspective and my work is influenced by Eastern philosophies of psychological and physical wellbeing.

Philosophy
My approach is holistic and integrative and the beliefs which most directly inform my counselling practice are; I believe that everyone has the capacity for wellness. I believe the body holds immense wisdom and there is a complex interplay of biopsychsocial factors influencing distress and well-being. I believe health and wellness is not passive but a practice and that what you are thinking is what you are becoming. I also believe that change is not possible but inevitable. I believe you can feel better and by approaching issues with curiosity and openness your natural inclination toward optimal health and functioning will unfold.
