Everyone can live their dreams. We all deserve to feel happy, healthy and loved. Before starting my practice, I worked with counsellors who helped me recover from additions. As a patient, I began to understand what worked—and what didn’t. After my recovery, nearly 15 years ago, I became a Registered Behavioural Therapist and began working in addictions counselling in the hope I could guide others toward sobriety and a better life.
Working in the hospital system has taught me a fundamental truth—pain is the culprit behind most addictions and mental trauma. Beginning the healing process, whether it’s managing addictions or grief, is about understanding and addressing this root trauma. From there, it’s possible to move forward and build the skills necessary to thrive and excel. Inner Calm Outer Power is a book for people ready to embark on their own journey of healing and self-fulfillment. I wrote it as a starting point toward a life where reality is reconciled with your greatest purpose and aspirations.
I believe that in counselling, there can be no hidden agenda or deceit. Complete commitment is required to move forward. A counsellor is a giver, someone who facilitates healing for those in need of advice and guidance. After my recovery, I earned my certificate in Behavioural Cognitive Therapy and began working as an addictions counsellor in the BC medical system. After ten years, I decided it was time to create a business that leveraged everything I experienced and learned. I have since participated in countless workshops and courses, including advanced courses in leadership and counselling.
It has been 15 years since I began my journey. Whether you’re working towards sobriety, peace, or empowerment, I would be honoured to act as your guide. From addictions counselling to leadership and life coaching, I have created a series of impactful and holistic programs that leverage what I learned as a counsellor and a patient. I invite you to reach out and schedule a free 30-minute discussion to talk about your goals.

Counselling and coaching are for people looking to make a fundamental change, and this applies both to mindset and lifestyle. Patients come to me with challenges that often stem from an unknown source. As a behavioural therapist, I believe everything is interconnected: sleep, exercise, emotions, diet, and performance.
