GET TO KNOW ME

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor living in Kelowna, BC Canada. I am a cis-gendered woman using she/her pronouns. Together with my husband and our 3 children, I love to explore the outdoors, rain, snow, or shine. I also have a passion for global travel. My family and I have travelled extensively throughout the world and we have lived and worked in Canada, England, and Sweden. Part of my love for travel is experiencing different cultures and learning about how people across the world experience life. I love to do this by literally tasting my way through new places - I enjoy bringing new food ideas home to my own kitchen where I like to cook and bake and experiment. I also find myself particularly curious about how various countries provide for the social and mental wellbeing of people. My international work and life experience have allowed me to bring a unique multicultural perspective into my counselling work.

I love stories. I have been an avid reader since I was a small child and I always have a large selection of books on the go at home and at work. This lends well to counselling as I am curious and enjoy hearing about others’ stories and personal narratives. Using my skills and resources, I can help you take these stories and begin to create meaning, learn new skills, and find better ways to cope and engage with your life.

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.
