About Me
I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) licensed with Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT) and located in Abbotsford, BC (servicing the Fraser Valley and surrounding areas) where I am grateful to live, work and play on the traditional lands of the Stolo, Kwantlen and Nooksack Nations of the Coast Salish Peoples. I have a private practice that offers online and in person counselling sessions.
About Me
Life’s challenges and personal traumas can deeply affect our emotional health, mindset, and relationships. While we cannot completely avoid life’s hardships, we can take steps to regain a sense of control and balance. Resilience plays a key role in helping us navigate change, manage difficult times, and recover from setbacks.
As a counsellor, my focus is on helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of interpersonal relationships. Whether you’re struggling with communication, trust, or finding connection, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space to explore these challenges. My approach is rooted in empowerment, helping clients uncover their strengths, recognize their choices, and work through the difficulties that arise in relationships. I consider it a privilege to support others through their journeys, creating a space where they feel seen, heard, and valued.
A Little About Me
I bring not only professional expertise but also lived experience to my practice. I am a 45-year-old woman, a mother to two biological children (ages 21 and 16) and a stepson (age 11). Having been previously divorced and now in a committed relationship for the past nine years, I understand firsthand the joys and struggles of navigating blended families, co-parenting, and the challenges of maintaining healthy relationships.
I know what it’s like to feel the weight of self-doubt and the difficulty of overcoming patterns of negative self-talk. These are learned behaviors, but they can be unlearned. Together, we will work to uncover the inner strength and self-acceptance that have always been within you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel safe to explore your vulnerabilities and navigate the path toward healing and growth.
As someone who has experienced the ups and downs of relationships, I know how difficult it can be to rebuild trust, foster connection, and create harmony in your personal life. Whether you’re facing the challenges of divorce, stepfamily dynamics, or simply striving to strengthen your current relationship, I am here to walk alongside you.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma to process emotions that disrupt their relationships and communication. Through a trauma-informed lens, I utilize a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to each client's unique needs, ensuring a personalized approach to healing.
With over five years of experience and practicing out of my home-based private practice, I offer a blend of professional expertise and lived experience, particularly in navigating the complexities of stepfamily dynamics. As stepfamily relationships are common in today’s society, I provide a unique level of support where resources may often feel limited.
Drawing on family systems theory, I help clients explore their past, gaining insights into family dynamics that shape present behaviors and emotions. By incorporating cognitive-behavioral techniques, I assist clients in transforming negative thoughts that influence their feelings and actions. Additionally, my experiential approach focuses on emotional expression and the physical experience, unlocking the pathway to lasting change. Under an attachment-based model, I guide individuals in creating secure, fulfilling relationships that nurture emotional safety and connection.
Find hope, healing, and growth in a compassionate, supportive environment where you can overcome challenges and build stronger relationships. Your journey to better communication, deeper connection, and personal healing starts here. Reach out today—I would be honored to support you every step of the way.
