About
I am a queer, cis, chronically ill, neurodivergent, white settler of mixed Irish and unknown ancestry resultant of family adoption. I use she or they pronouns and invite you to share with me what identifiers currently feel right for you. I live on the unceded traditional and ancestral homelands of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I have been working as a counsellor in community and public health settings for over a decade, including mental health programs, hospitals, non-profit organizations, and schools. Alongside this work I provide clinical supervision for new and student counsellors.
My values are guided by social justice and being trauma informed. I aim to be anti-oppressive, body neutral, sex positive, and committed to unlearning colonialism. I offer tools from narrative therapy, family systems, somatic approaches, and parts work. I completed a post graduate program in Expressive Arts therapy, so if finding the right words isn’t for you, I have some creative tools we can try. I have experience with mental illness and substance use, chronic illness and pain, burnout, trauma and vicarious trauma, grief, and loss. I bring warmth, humour and respect to the connections I have with others.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#17871) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I have a Master’s in Counselling from City University of Seattle and completed the Expressive Arts therapy certification from the Justice Institute of British Columbia.
