I began my career in the helping profession after completing a Bachelor of Science in Recreation Therapy from Dalhousie University in 2007. Raised in the Rocky Mountains, I was drawn to the healing potential of nature and the power of meaningful, intentional experiences to spark reflection, insight, and change.
Wanting to deepen my impact, I completed my Master of Social Work at the University of Calgary, where I developed the foundations of my therapeutic approach, grounded in family systems theory, attachment theory, post-modern perspectives and neurobiology. This training shaped the way I understand people in the context of their relationships, environments, and lived experiences.
Since moving to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, my practice has evolved toward providing clinical supervision, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor – Approved Clinical Supervisor Candidate. Over the years, I have supported adults, couples, families, youth, children, and groups, and continue to believe that our relational worlds profoundly influence our well-being.
Today, I bring together my clinical training, supervisory experience, and a longstanding appreciation for experiential learning to support practitioners in developing confidence, clarity, and grounded therapeutic presence.
