A Few Words About Me
I initially started providing counselling services while pursuing my degree in Psychology from the University of Victoria. I worked as a lay counsellor and later as a street outreach worker. I underwent three years of rigorous experiential counsellor training at the ClearMind International Institute and have received advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I am also a Board Certified Counselling Hypnotherapist. I have led groups focused on anger management and mindfulness meditation.
Additionally, I have previously volunteered as a lay counsellor, crisis counsellor, big brother, and suicide response outreach worker. I work with individuals and couples, facilitate group counselling sessions and mentor entrepreneurs. I have also invested significant effort into personal growth, as I believe in healing oneself before healing others.
