Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out! I currently offer video, phone or walking counselling sessions from Whistler, BC. I’m particularly passionate these days about mentoring new nature-based therapists.

I am a graduate of the Naropa University 3 year Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program in Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy. Through this Buddhist-inspired school located in Boulder, Colorado, my studies focused on mindfulness-based, somatic and nature-based healing modalities.

Prior to my graduate studies, I completed a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, specializing in Outdoor Pursuits. This early background provided me with a strong understanding of biology, the body, the brain and the nervous system, as well as how humans perform and interact in nature, all of which I incorporate into my therapeutic practice. I believe in an integrative and collaborative approach that supports the whole person.

My approach is relational, as I truly believe that it is through relationship that we heal. My approach is to move beyond symptoms to underlying root issues, gently and with compassion. I feel most joyful when I can be present with people during their “aha!” moments, and to witness and support as they come back into connection with their own basic goodness and brilliance.

If you’re ready for a change, walking with me could be for you. I look forward to walking by your side towards optimal wellness!
