My Story
I began my career in the mental health field, supporting people from all backgrounds coping with depression, anxiety, and psychosis. After a brief time working with children I found my passion working with adults. My interest in working with people with complex chronic health conditions such as fatigue and pain has led me to work at BC Women's Hospital and Health Center. Here I work in a multi-disciplinary team providing group intervention. This is where I deepened my expertise in supporting people of all genders living with invisible illness. I recognize the profound need for more services and support for people with these conditions, which led me to open my own practice.
I am committed to creating a supportive space for individuals with invisible health conditions like ME/CFS, long COVID, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and other energy-limiting illnesses. I aim to work collaboratively through a strengths-based approach, exploring together with you how to best develope strategies to manage life changes and challenges.
You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation to determine if I'm the right fit for your need. During this call, I am happy to answer any questions you may have about how I can best support you.
My practice has been influenced by ongoing learning about various therapeutic approaches and techniques, including:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Non-violent Communication
Persistent Pain Management
Mindful Self-Compassion Tools
