I graduated from the University of British Columbia Okanagan in 2023 with a bachelors in health sciences; my specialization was clinical human-kinetics. During my degree I worked as a Laboratory Technician with NIMBL, a psychology lab directed towards brain plasticity and motor behavior. We used Electromyography (EMG) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to learn more about motor behavior in a wide variety of volunteers, further progressing ongoing research into motor imaging. After graduating, my girlfriend and I were addicted to the beautiful weather and abundant friendships in Kelowna. We decided to make a home here with our pet cat and dog, Pippin, and Indie. My goal is to give back to my community with care. Making sessions comfortable and simple will be my top priority. It is a privilege to provide for the people of this wonderful city. While away from the office, my summer days are spent at the beach with my girlfriend and golden retriever. During winter I am at home studying a chess board and reading about fantasy, or science fiction.

I am a registered Clinical Mental Health Counsellor and a member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I began my career working in crisis counselling as well as working with individuals, couples, and families in a private counselling practice.

My treatment philosophy is rooted in Existential psychology and Humanistic psychology with and emphasis on evidence based treatments. Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neuroscientist and psychiatrist shared, ”For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment.” I work collaboratively with each client to develop a treatment plan that is unique to the goals they want to accomplish. Each person and their life experience are unique and therefore require individualized treatment modalities.

When I am not in the office I can be found enjoying the mountains with my husband and our four children, writing literary fiction, traveling internationally to advance my education in the fields of counselling psychology and cognitive science, advocating for our local youth and… napping.
