I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the founder of Sage River Valley.
My path into this work has been shaped by my own healing journey and the countless moments of courage and transformation I’ve witnessed in others. Being invited into someone’s inner world is a profound responsibility; one that humbles me every day. I’ve been in the helping field for past decade, and what continues to move me most is the quiet strength people carry, even in their most vulnerable moments. In this work, I am reminded again and again that healing is not a straight line, it’s a deep unfolding, often marked by unexpected beauty.
My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I integrate mindfulness and presence into the therapeutic space, helping clients slow down enough to truly hear themselves. Together, we explore what it means to live with more clarity, compassion, and resilience — developing the internal resources needed to face life’s challenges with steadiness and self-trust.
I hold space with deep respect for your values, your lived experience, and the stories that have shaped who you are. Healing, in my view, is not about changing who you are, but about reconnecting with your inner wisdom and letting go of what no longer serves you.
As a lifelong learner, I continue to be shaped by the world around me, through studies, books, teachers, experiences, and the natural world itself. Nature is one of my greatest sources of inspiration and reflection. I find joy in travelling, skiing, and hiking with my rescue dog, River (who inspired the name of this practice).
My intention is to offer a space where you can show up fully, without having to explain or defend your humanity. A place where healing can feel natural, patient, and real — like water finding its way forward.
