I am a Nurse Practitioner and Registered Clinical Counsellor serving clients across British Columbia. With 20 years of nursing experience, I bring a strong foundation in health education, behaviour change, and mind–body care to my counselling practice. My CBT-I training included adaptations for individuals experiencing trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and perimenopause/menopause-related sleep disturbances. I’m particularly interested in how emotional patterns and nervous system regulation can affect sleep. I work collaboratively with clients to address unhelpful sleep patterns, reduce cognitive and physiological arousal, and build sustainable habits that support restorative sleep. I welcome adults who are looking for structured, skills-based support for chronic insomnia within a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic relationship.
