Canadian Certified Counsellor #11246447

Registered Clinical Counsellor #22897

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over a decade working in emergency services, supporting individuals and families through crisis, trauma, and complex relational dynamics. This experience gave me a strong foundation in calm, compassionate communication, conflict resolution, and trauma-informed care. It also shaped something that remains central to how I work today: a deep belief that there is always more to understand beneath a person’s struggles.

As a parent of two neurodivergent children, I’ve also gained invaluable insight into flexibility, advocacy, and the everyday realities of navigating systems that don’t always understand or accommodate different ways of experiencing the world. This lived experience has deeply influenced my counselling practice and my commitment to neuro-affirming care. I bring curiosity, creativity, compassion, and unconditional acceptance into my work, with the hope that clients feel genuinely understood rather than simply treated.

That same belief in the importance of connection and supportive environments has shaped the creation of North Shore Therapy Group (NSTG) — a collaborative space where independent counsellors can build and maintain their own practices while being part of a connected professional community.

Opening this fall, I’m thrilled to bring NSTG to the North Shore and create a space where counsellors feel supported, connected, and inspired in their work — so they can continue showing up fully for the clients and communities they serve.

When I’m not in session, you’ll find me hiking one of the local trails with Charlie and Bentley, recharging in a spin or pilates class, or spending quality time with my family.

Co-Therapist

Charlie, CGN

Hello, I’m Charlie! I’m a three-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I love making new friends—especially people who might need a little extra comfort. Some days I help by quietly sitting nearby, offering a gentle nuzzle, or curling up for a snuggle when someone needs it most. Other days, I just wag my tail and share my calm energy to help everyone feel safe and supported.

Chloe and I are part of the Pet Therapy Team at BC Children’s and Women’s Hospital, where I get to bring smiles and a sense of calm to children and families. I’ve completed the Canine Good Neighbour Program (CGN), so I’m ready to lend a paw whenever it’s needed.

And don’t worry—if you’d prefer me to hang out in the background during your session, or stay home with my Cavalier brother Bentley, that’s perfectly fine too. I’m here to make therapy as comfortable as possible for everyone.

Theoretical Approaches

A note on my approaches
Some traditional therapeutic approaches have historically emphasized masking, compliance, or changing autistic and ADHD traits rather than understanding the underlying needs driving them. My approach is different. I believe therapy should build self-understanding, self-compassion, and regulation—not teach you to hide who you are.
That said, I do draw from evidence-based approaches when they can be adapted in a neuroaffirming way. Every intervention I use is carefully chosen to honour your neurotype, lived experience, and goals, rather than expecting you to fit into a neurotypical mold.

Attachment-Based Therapy: Builds secure, trusting relationships as a foundation for healing.
Trauma-Informed Care: Emphasizes safety, empowerment, and understanding trauma’s impact.
Person-Centered Approach: Respects clients as experts of their own experience, grounded in empathy and authenticity.
EMDR: is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories through guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements.
Strengths-Based Focus: Highlights resilience and existing resources over pathology.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice: Celebrates natural variation; centers respect, self-advocacy, and inclusion.
Developmental & Relational Lens: Considers emotional needs through growth stages and relationships.
Mindfulness-Based Tools: Cultivates present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.
Somatic Therapy: Uses body awareness to support trauma healing and self-connection.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): Strengthens relationships by transforming emotional patterns.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps clients explore and heal the different “parts” of themselves by fostering a compassionate inner dialogue led by the core Self.
