I’m passionate about empowering individuals who have lived through traumatic experiences, are facing grief & loss, or struggling with a health crisis to reorient themselves towards a healing pathway & restore their resiliency!
My counselling practice, Sacred Circle Counselling, is informed by over 15 years of experience working as a helping professional in the health care system, and focuses on promoting practices that are nurturing, healing, and balancing. At the heart of my work, I bring the culmination of my experience as a clinical nutritionist & registered clinical counsellor into my holistic therapeutic practice specializing in grief, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain & endometriosis, cancer recovery, eating disorders, body image issues, stress management, high sensitivity, and anxiety. My private practice has been complemented by her work with organizations such as The Bloom Group, Surrey Hospice Society, Centre for Pelvic Pain & Endometriosis at BC Women’s Hospital, and BC Cancer.
I offer a welcoming space where you are invited to ‘come as you are’. Within this space, I provide trauma-informed, culturally-responsive, gender-affirming, queer-friendly care. I am committed to inclusive anti-oppressive values and welcome folks across the diverse spectrum of abilities, gender, sexuality, race, culture, body size, and religion.

I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.
I provide a calm, non-judgmental, and supportive space for my clients to explore deeper emotions and gain insight. Further, by using a strength-based, solution-focused approach, I help my clients by collaboratively finding strategies to move forward, which is especially helpful when clients feel stuck with their mental health and relationships.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. You can email me or book a free phone consultation on my website. And if I’m not the right fit for you, I’d be happy to help you find your therapist!
