First and foremost, human
Before the degrees and the decades of practice, I'm first and foremost human. I'm a wife and a mother of three nearly grown children. Parenting (especially with another person with their own ideas) has been my greatest teacher - it was hard, there were many tears, but also a great deal of laughter as my children grew into the young adults they are now.
My practice is not just shaped by a list of academic credentials - I bring a perspective rooted in real-world experience. I believe our most transformative insights often come from the mistakes we have made, and from learning how to heal ourselves when the mistakes others have made impact our lives.
I genuinely like helping people - believing in them when they're struggling to believe in themselves, and holding hope when it's hard for them to find it.
Now for that academic stuff…
…that qualifies me to practise as a therapist!

23 years of walking alongside people
I've had the privilege of walking alongside adults, couples and families through some of their most difficult transitions - in educational settings, emergency and domestic violence shelters, mental health and addiction programs, housing programs and private practice. These experiences shaped my ability to adapt my approach to the unique needs of each person, couple or family I work with.
Clients describe me as person-centred, warm and a calming presence - integrating humour when it's appropriate. Whether you're navigating parenting, anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, or a world not always built for ADHD and Autistic minds, I offer a space that respects your lived experience and celebrates the human behind the journey.
A little more about me
My family lineage includes Métis and Mi'kmaq roots on both my maternal and paternal sides, and this heritage is an important part of who I am. I was born and raised for the first half of my life in Nova Scotia - Kelowna was the first place I moved to when I wanted to see something beyond the borders of my small fishing town.
I enjoy time with friends and family mixed with a little quiet time alone, a good action comedy or martial arts movie, baking, and as much time as possible near the lake. I look back fondly on my days of lifting weights and learning Muay Thai, and these days I'm more likely to be hiking or biking.
When you're ready, I'm here
