Hi, I'm a client-centered therapist, passionate about golf and hiking with my dog Joey. I understand reaching out for mental health support can be difficult, but we all need help sometimes. As a counselling therapist, I've also battled my own mental health challenges and faced life-altering situations. I know that therapy can be challenging and isolating, but you don't have to go through it alone.
I have a Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree with a minor in Psychology from UBC, and completed my Master's degree in Clinical Counselling in 2023. My work experience includes supporting clients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mental health challenges as a Kinesiologist, supporting a disability employment program, and two years as a Recovery Specialist with ICBC.
I started WorKin Rehabilitation Kelowna in 2020, providing Kinesiology services to ICBC clients while becoming a Certified Vocational Rehabilitation Professional. I'm a member of the CVRP (#1397) and a Registered Member of the BCACC (RCC #22658). I also hold a non-practicing membership with the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists (BCAK).
I also acknowledge and am grateful to live, work, and play on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Syilx Okanagan People.
The information disclosed and discussed during your sessions will be held in strict confidentiality consistent with the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of the Professional Associations. However, as a counselling intern, I may consult with my clinical supervisor about your case to discuss treatment plans and seek feedback, which is why Intern rates are reduced. We are both still bound by client privacy and confidentiality terms.
Personal information will only be collected and documented for the sole purposes of providing you with therapeutic services. All paper documentation is stored in a locked filing cabinet and any digital file material is stored on an encrypted and password-protected flash drive and on a secure online platform.
We comply with Provincial patient privacy laws to ensure discretion when accessing telehealth services. We use a secure platform that complies with the Personal Information Protection Act of BC (PIPA BC). It's important to note that we can't guarantee full privacy, but we have taken every measure to ensure your privacy.
Confidentiality will be addressed during your initial intake session and again throughout the course of our work together. There are a few exceptions to breaking confidentiality and these will be clearly outlined during your first session and as needed.
