Meet your guide on the journey to healing
Welcome to Wild Dandelion Wellness. Just like the resilient wildflower that adapts, takes root, and flourishes in any soil, your spirit holds an innate capacity to heal and grow through life's most challenging terrain. As a solo practitioner, I provide a grounded, culturally inclusive space to safely process deep-seated trauma and navigate the heavy landscape of grief. Together, we will not only work through the pain of the past, but intentionally honour and mark the important milestones, transitions, and cultural chapters of your life journey. No matter where you come from or what you are carrying, you are welcome here.
My path to counselling
My journey to becoming a counsellor began with observing the profound need for empathetic listeners during life's transitions and crises. I believe counselling is akin to conversing with a trusted friend – someone non-judgmental, empathic, and truly reflective. My philosophy centres on a person-centred approach, empowering you to guide the therapeutic process. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where you can process grief and traumatic memories, fostering healing and enabling you to move forward. I utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, thereby improving your mood and daily coping skills.
My other career
After training as a "Certified Lifecycle Celebrant(tm)", I started marrying people. I soon realised how many people could benefit from being able to talk about their feelings.
Who I can help and what you can expect
I most effectively support clients who are ready to make meaningful changes in their emotional and cognitive patterns. If you've reached a point where you feel "enough is enough" and are tired of experiencing sadness, anger, or hopelessness, then you are precisely who I aim to help. By working with me, you can expect a transformative journey towards improved well-being, healthier coping mechanisms, and a renewed sense of purpose. Together, we will navigate your challenges, fostering resilience and empowering you to embrace a more fulfilling life.
More about me
Beyond my professional expertise, I believe it's important for you to know about my personal qualities and values. I am an ordained Life Coach minister with the Christian Leaders Alliance, and I perform weddings in British Columbia as a Metaphysical Minister. My commitment to continuous education ensures I can support people in various meaningful ways. On a personal note, I have a deep love for rescue cats and share my home with two wonderful little old lady cats. These aspects reflect my compassionate nature and my dedication to nurturing growth and well-being, not just professionally, but in every facet of my life.
