    I have been in private practice in the Bulkley Valley since 1999. I work with individuals and couples. I support people who are looking for direction, information, and tools as they work with and transition through challenging life circumstances of all kinds, including:

• depression,
• anxiety,
• historical & recent trauma,
• chronic/life-threatening illness & pain management

• loss/grief
• anger and aggression
• relationship issues
•  addiction
• stress
• self-esteem
• sexual orientation & gender identity

        My credentials include:

• Certificate in Indigenous Focusing Oriented Therapy (IFOT) (2015)
• Master of Counselling degree with a specialization in counselling psychology from the University of Calgary (2011)
• Graduate Diploma in Art Therapy from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute (1998)
• Bachelor of Anthropology degree with a specialization in Archaeology from the University of British Columbia (1984). 

Start where you are.
            Use what you have.
                            Do what you can.
