About

Professional profile

After years of unhealthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, depression and burnout, I reached out for Counselling, and completely changed my life.  I have always had an interest in Psychology, which I minored in while completing my business degree back in 2005.  Since then, I have worked with people in corporate settings, focusing on Human Resources.  This led me to start teaching yoga, as I was noticing that more and more people were feeling burnt out or experiencing chronic stress.  I now incorporate mindfulness and movement practices into my Counselling and Coaching services.  I am currently located in Vancouver, BC but have traveled the world and relocated overseas before.  When not seeing clients or hosting workshops, I can be found exploring the forest, browsing my favourite bookstore or local library, or attending community events.  

Areas of Specialization: Are you feeling burnt out, anxious or stressed?  Perhaps you feel stuck or unable to make a change, in spite of wanting to move forward.  I specialize in supporting clients in many areas of life including: depression, burnout prevention and recovery, nervous system regulation, relationships, life transitions, grief and loss and addictions.   I blend together modalities to provide an integrative and holistic approach, using a person centered approach to ensure that you receive the support you are looking for.  Some of the modalities include Somatic Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I offer both coaching and counselling services, and can support you in assessing what you need at this time. I am located in Vancouver, but offer session virtually so that you do not need to leave the comfort of your home
