For over 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people in their healing journeys. My path originally began in bodywork, where I completed a diploma in Shiatsu in 1997 and continued to study various hands-on healing modalities. Over time, this deepened into a calling toward social work, where I’ve spent the past two decades, supporting individuals as they’ve moved through times of difficulty—whether it be related to issues related to parenting breakdown, trauma and injury, life transitions, addiction, or mental health.

I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work and am registered with the BC College of Social Workers.

I also recognize that social work comes with a complicated history. I acknowledge I am a white, cisgender settler living on the unceded lands of the Snuneymuxw people. I am acutely aware how the profession and practice of social work has contributed to oppressive practices that have harmed Indigenous peoples - both historically and currently. I continue to educate myself on ways to reduce these harms and incorporate these into my practice.

My ongoing professional development includes training in somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed), Compassionate Inquiry's Suicide Attention Training, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I’m also in the process of completing a three-year training program to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Personally, I’m nourished by practices that bring me into connection—with myself, others, and the land—including daily time in nature and the expressive joy of dance.
