About me

 
 

I am a BC Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Art Therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting children, youth, and families on the Sunshine Coast. I’ve worked in both school settings and private practice and am an active member of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and the BC Art Therapy Association (BCATA).

Originally from northern New Brunswick, I have Acadian heritage rooted in the Celtic regions of Brittany (France) and Ireland, and I offer counselling services in both English and French. I began my career as a French and art teacher before moving into counselling, where I felt called to support students’ emotional wellbeing. My work is rooted in Adlerian Psychology, especially the concept of Gemeinschaftsgefühl—a sense of social interest, belonging, and connection. Over the years I’ve added training in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), and Life Stress Reduction (LSR).

Since 2020, I have trained extensively with Thomas Hübl, completing his two-year Program on Timeless Wisdom Training in 2023, focusing on individual, intergenerational, collective, and ancestral trauma healing. I also completed couples therapy training as taught by Hübl in collaboration with Terry Real, founder of Relational Life Therapy.

These foundations allow me to offer practical tools for emotional regulation and wellbeing. I believe people have the innate resources to meet challenges, and my role is to help them access their strengths without pathologizing natural responses to difficult circumstances.

As a long-time meditation practitioner, I bring a grounded, warm, and creative presence to my work, helping clients and families navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, ease, and resilience.

 

CREATIVE & DYNAMIC
I hope that my empathic nature & keen sense of humour will help make you feel at home.

My aim is to help people move from simply coping to truly thriving in their daily lives. I support clients in creating lasting change and reconnecting regularly with their inner joy, creativity, and sense of possibility.

I also maintain an eclectic art practice, working with acrylics, oils, encaustics, gold leaf, and collage. Outside the studio, I enjoy yoga and meditation, hiking, cycle touring, and spending time with family and friends.
