Inclusive Counselling in Kelowna – 2 Locations in Kelowna and Online Across BC
I provide in-person counselling in Kelowna at two locations, as well as virtual therapy for clients across British Columbia. As a 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, my practice welcomes people of all identities and backgrounds. I work from a strength-based, anti-oppressive lens that recognizes the ways systems and structures can affect our mental health, self-worth, and safety.
Therapeutic Modalities I Use
I integrate evidence-based therapies to support healing, self-awareness, and resilience:
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Helps process and release traumatic memories in a grounded, manageable way.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
Identifies and shifts unhelpful thought patterns rooted in trauma or self-doubt.
DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)
Builds skills for emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and mindful relationships.
My Approach to Healing
You are not broken. You’re surviving in a world that hasn’t always made space for your truth. I see your resilience—and I honour it.
In therapy, we’ll move at your pace. Whether you’re exploring your identity, working through past trauma, or simply trying to feel more grounded in your day-to-day life, I’m here to support you with care, curiosity, and respect.
You are the expert in your own life. I’m here to walk alongside and support you as you work through your hurt.
