MEET OUR CHILLIWACK TEAM
Our therapists are trained across a broad range of modalities because no two people heal the same way. Every person who walks through our doors brings a different history, a different nervous system, and a different set of needs. Each therapist on our team has their own unique clinical identity, built through years of specialized training and genuine passion for the people they work with. Your therapy should reflect that.

Supporting therapists is my focus, offering clinical supervision for registered counsellors and interns who want to deepen their practice, build confidence, and stay grounded in the work. With over 15 years of experience and a feminist, narrative lens, I bring curiosity, reflexivity, and genuine investment in your growth as a clinician.

Chronic illness, eating disorders, and the overwhelming emotions that come with navigating a body or life that doesn't cooperate are what I understand deeply, both professionally and personally. Drawing from somatic therapy, emotionally focused approaches, and lived experience, I offer energy-aware support that meets you where you are, no toxic positivity, no pushing through.

Office Manager
Getting you connected to the right support is what I do, whether you're a new client figuring out where to start or an existing client with a scheduling or billing question. I handle intake, scheduling, billing, and the day-to-day admin that keeps the practice running smoothly. Reach me at admin@eternacounselling.ca.

Trauma, grief, substance use, and relationship conflict shape much of the work I do, supporting women, men, LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, families, and victims of crime. Using narrative therapy and feminist, anti-oppressive approaches, I create a collaborative, non-judgmental space to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward.
