Helping Individuals, Couples, and Families Overcome Relationship and Personal Issues

About Me 

I am a certified clinical counsellor, registered with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I am also registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). Moreover, I am registered with the Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children as an Advanced Certified Trauma Practitioner (ACTP)


I have been a professional counsellor for more than 20 years. I started Smiling Spirit Counselling in Kamloops in 2013 after being a registered school psychologist, district behaviour consultant, and school and family consultant at the Kamloops School District.
