I am passionate about supporting children and youth on their unique mental health journeys. In addition to my role as Counsellor at Colour Wheel, I work as a school counsellor in Campbell River. With five years of experience as a primary teacher and a background in supporting adults with addictions, I understand the importance of developing trusting relationships with clients in order for growth to occur.

I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves. Through play, I help children explore their emotions and develop social-emotional skills. My goal is to foster a space where every child feels heard and valued, empowering them to thrive emotionally and socially. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the beautiful forests, beaches, and mountains of the Comox Valley.
