Education & Experience

I am a graduate of Rhodes Wellness College, a nationally respected institution known for its trauma-informed and experiential approach to counsellor education. I hold a Diploma in Professional Counselling and a Life Skills Coaching Certificate, which together provided over 1,000 hours of in-depth training in counselling theory, ethics, human development, somatic practices, and applied coaching.

This immersive program emphasized both clinical skills development and personal transformation, equipping me to support individuals through grief, trauma, emotional regulation, life transitions and so much more.

​

I currently work three days a week as a grief and bereavement counsellor at Alberni Hospice Society on Vancouver Island, where I support individuals and families navigating and anticipating end of life experiences and life altering transitions. Alongside my formal education, I bring the depth of my lived experience. Having personally journeyed through many deeply impactful losses and life transitions; my approach comes from a deep understanding of how life can bring us to our knees.

​In addition, I am a trauma-informed breath work facilitator, trained in body-based practices that support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and self-awareness.

As a Registered Professional Counsellor - Provisional (RPC- P) with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA), I am committed to ethical, client-centered care and lifelong learning. I continue to expand my education in psychology and somatic therapy to better serve the people I work with.

The Provisional (P) in my RPC -P designation means I am currently completing my required clinical hours under professional supervision to ensure ethical, accountable, and high-quality care. This process is part of maintaining good standing with my association and supports continued growth and integrity in my counselling practice.
