I'm very excited to share an article I wrote about grief and hope for the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors' Magazine. And it's the cover story to boot! Click the link below and you can find it on page 14.
I am opening the door to more writing in my life and career. So if you have or know of any writing opportunities, please reach out to me here or through email at [email protected].

Thanks for reading!

When I started my counselling practice in 2014, my dream was to make a meaningful impact in a smaller community that knew me; to find my place as a professional as well as an embedded member of the community. I am proud to announce that I've been named among the 3 best clinics for mental health by readers of qathet Living.
A deep thank you to everyone who voted and for recognizing and valuing my gifts!

I excited to announce that I am exploring some new directions in my career and I can use your help!

I'm in the process of building an e-course to support those newly diagnosed with ADHD to make sense of what this means for their life, build a library of techniques to support improved daily living, as well as supporting students to begin to overcome any internalized stigma, shame, and regret that can come with this diagnosis. I was inspired to create this course by the countless clients I've worked with who were given no direction after diagnosis and had to begin this journey alone.

If you or someone you know has ADHD, I would greatly appreciate you filling out and passing this survey on. It will be a huge help to me in creating the course. I am also offering $20 gift cards to 3 random participants who leave their email addresses.

Thank you!
