About
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor I value the opportunity to work alongside and collaborate with my clients to promote their growth and wellbeing. I work from a place that is grounded in compassion, acceptance and empathy to connect people with their natural abilities and resilience to face everything that life brings forth.
In my practice I work with individuals who are experiencing grief and loss, depression and anxiety, parenting and family challenges, and the impacts of trauma. I draw from my varied experience as a community-based counsellor and group facilitator for grief, loss, separation and divorce, as well as professional studies in Emotionally Focused Couples and Family therapy, attachment-based research, mindfulness training, EMDR, trauma-informed practices, and perinatal psychology.
Part of my professional role in the community is in promoting Maternal Mental Health, working with women and families as they navigate their journey as mothers and parents. I am trained as a Postpartum Support Group facilitator through the Pacific Post Partum Support Society, and provide individual counselling for women, mothers and parents supporting them in postpartum depression and anxiety, the transition to parenthood, processing birth trauma, and parenting challenges. I am a mother of two and a wife and I understand that meeting the needs of mothers is essential for healthy families and communities.
