Description
I bring experience working with children, youth, and families in community, school, and in-patient environments. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BCACC and a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I specialize in addressing the distinct needs associated with developmental stages, whether guiding teenagers through identity exploration, helping adults navigate life transitions, or supporting children facing emotional challenges. Together, we’ll embark on a collaborative journey toward emotional balance, growth, and healing.
