MINDFULLY JOURNEYING TOWARD AUTHENTICITY & WELLBEING
I compled my Master of Clinical Social Work at UBC Okanagan in September 2025. My journey toward becoming a counsellor began when I received invaluable acceptance and guidance from my own therapist at a young age. Inspired by that experience, my goal is to help you navigate challenges and discover your most authentic self.
​​
Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences influence your current behaviours, identify recurring themes amongst challenges, and unearth new perspectives. I’ll guide you in aligning your daily actions with your unique core values, with the goal of enhancing your overall well-being. My focus is to help you gain insight into the sources of distress, disruption, and disconnection in your life, while working together to set practical, actionable goals that create meaningful change.
​
I aim to provide person-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based counselling to individuals, couples, and families. My approach is informed by narrative theories, psychodynamic theories, and positive psychology. I draw on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and emotion-focused therapy (EFT), while integrating mindfulness practices from my training and experience as a certified yoga and meditation instructor. Underlying all of these is a commitment to offering a non-pathologizing experience; this means you should never feel like you are the problem.
