Hi, I’m Andrea — it’s lovely to meet you.

I’m deeply passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and return to the truest version of who they are—before life’s demands, traumas, and expectations pulled them away from their own knowing. I believe that when we heal all the way down to the roots, transformation becomes not only possible, but inevitable.

I support individuals navigating grief, depression, anxiety, stress, caregiver burnout, trauma and intergenerational trauma, addiction, and other concerns that are affecting your emotional or psychological wellbeing. My therapeutic approach is integrative and trauma-informed, blending EMDR, OEI, polyvagal-informed practices, inner child work, compassion-focused therapy, DBT, and other modalities. Everything about the therapy process is customized using evidence-based approaches. Together, we’ll focus on you—your unique needs, your lived experiences, and the tools and practices that genuinely support your healing.

One of my guiding values comes from the quote: “Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces.” My clients often share that I’m easy to talk to and that they feel safe bringing their whole selves into the room. I hold deep respect for the stories that are often carried silently, and I consider it an honour to witness them with care. As someone with my own history of complex trauma, including military and residential school trauma, as well as addiction, in my family lineage, I understand how healing can feel nonlinear—sometimes steady, sometimes turbulent. In those moments, having a steady, skilled guide beside you can make all the difference.

My practice also includes clinical supervision and consulting for fellow counsellors and social workers, as well as clinical consulting for mental health and helping professionals across a range of disciplines. Supporting clinicians as they deepen their skills, strengthen their clinical judgment, and expand their confidence is a meaningful and energizing part of my work. Whether you’re looking for ongoing supervision, case consultation, or guidance as you grow into your role, I aim to offer a space that is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in real-world practice.

I hold a Diploma of Professional Counselling, an Addiction Worker Certificate, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor, a Registered Social Worker with the BC College of Social Workers, and a Clinical Supervisor. As a lifelong learner, I’m continually engaged in professional development—fueled by genuine curiosity about people, healing, and the many ways we make meaning of our lives.

Originally from the Kootenays, I now call Kamloops home. I love the small-town feel, the proximity to nature, and the endless beauty of all four seasons. When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll often find me spending time with my partner and daughter, camping, skiing, hiking, listening to records, going to concerts, reading, or being near any body of water.

If you’re considering counselling—or seeking supervision or consultation as a helping professional—I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
