Chronic Illness Therapists in Kelowna, BC
I view the counselling space as an opportunity to re-remember what you already know. I come into the space with the belief that we are all born with everything we need. It is through trauma, adversity, oppression, systems of power and various other life-experiences that close the doors to our inner world of knowing. Just as our bodies are able to heal from physical wounds, I believe we are also capable of healing our emotional wounds when we are able to access the innate Self. Accessing Self energy can heal our more vulnerable & wounded parts. Holding space for you to turn your greatest wounds into your greatest gifts.

Some of my areas of focus include working with veterans, first responders, health care workers, male survivors of sexual violence, suicidal ideation and self-harm, people dealing with the impact of trauma and PTSD, late in life ADHD diagnosis, chronic illness, as well as major life transitions.
- Will open waitlist March 2025 - I believe one of the most courageous things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I remember what it feels like to be on your side of the couch, overwhelmed by the idea of sharing my most vulnerable stories. When we've hit (or passed) the point of burnout, or we have a stressful experience like a loss or traumatic event, it can be hard to imagine finding joy or fulfillment again. You deserve a space to discover your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and find a meaningful path forward.

I am a registered psychologist working in private practice. I received my PhD from the University of Saskatchewan (2019) and began my career working at a children’s hospital for two years providing services for mental health concerns within a medical setting. Since then, I have been working in private practice providing a range of in-person and remote assessment and intervention services to children, adolescents, parents/caregivers, and adults. I use a collaborative approach that focuses on your individual needs and cultural preferences while ensuring the treatment and techniques are proven effective for your mental health concerns.
