A Registered Therapeutic Counsellor that guides other adults to more fulfilling relationships with others and themselves!
I grew up with self esteem issues that led to overwhelming depression and anxiety. I had unfulfilling and even toxic relationships and those led to more self hate, anger, and guilt.
I was overwhelmed with myself, others, my emotions, and then I got counselling.
I regained control of my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I learned who I wanted to be, not what others wanted. I learned how to process a situation before reacting to it
And that's what I want to give you.
Thinking Couch is a place to sit, to take a breath, and to begin to create YOU the way YOU want to be. It takes time and it takes work, however, I will sit with you, collaborate with you, and help you create the fulfilling world you deserve.
I lived and worked in the sunny Okanagan as a behavior interventionist for children with autism. I found that as much as I loved working with the kids, I loved connecting with the parents. There is so much we put on ourselves as adults, while just wanting the best for ourselves and our families.
When I relocated to Abbotsford, I went back to school to obtain my Diploma of Professional Counselling (which I did, with honors). I also obtained a certificate for Intimacy in Relationships. I have been counselling in private clinics for the past 5 years and started private practice 3 years ago. I love what I do and wanted to provide a safe space, a validating space... a Thinking Couch... for individuals and couples to be their most vulnerable and to only build up from there ❤
