About Me
I arrived in Squamish from Victoria in 2003, drawn by intuition to the Advanced Wilderness Leadership Program at Capilano University. Though I intended to return to the Island, Squamish quickly became home.
Over the past two decades, I’ve worked across high-intensity and service-driven fields: backcountry and mechanized guiding, first response, youth advocacy, and wildland firefighting. Each role deepened my understanding of human resilience, relational stress, and the need for developmentally grounded support.
In 2009, I shifted from youth advocacy into wildland firefighting to explore physical capacity and fund formal education at Thompson Rivers University (2013). My studies focused on human psychology and sensory-based neurology—seeking to understand how we process experience and build adaptive capacity.
This led me to coaching. In 2015, I completed an ICF-accredited academic life coaching program for youth, refining my approach to personal development. By 2017, I began integrating somatics and body-based wisdom into my practice, followed by evidence-based Positive Psychology Coaching fundamentals in 2022.
Today, I offer trauma-aware, strengths-based coaching rooted in developmental science and positive psychology. My practice is built on 19 years of experiential and academic learning, and is designed to support emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and resilient flourishing.
I coach with clarity, compassion, and the wisdom earned through post-traumatic growth. I honour the losses that shape us and remain committed to ongoing education and integration.
It is with immense appreciation to be of service here on the unceded land of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) and surrounding area.
