I am a passionate, caring individual who believes we are at a cultural crossroads where mental health is finally being recognized as important. I have a unique ability to work with clients from a place of safety that allows them to fully explore and process their life, while providing ideas and solutions that are outside of the box. I enjoy working with teams, families, and community supports to create an all inclusive experience in order to provide the highest chances of success for my clients.

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor residing and practicing in Kimberley, BC.

I grew up in the Kootenays and early on discovered an intense interest and care for those around me. I feel privileged to have grown up in a place where my youth consisted of free exploration around town in the wilderness. My time here in my youth helped me discover my love for the area, the outdoors, adventure sports, and genuine conversation with others. I worked with the student council and social justice committees during my time at school and began advocating for equal rights and fair treatment at a young age.

While working towards my Bachelors of Education I worked as a tutor and International Student Activity Coordinator. These experiences in college and university helped me learn to work with people from all cultural backgrounds safely and effectively. I learned that honest curiosity in interactions opens doors to learn more about those you are working with and allows for a sense of safety and security for people in stressful and vulnerable situations.

My time spent in other communities helped me learn of the benefits that risks and new experiences can present. I worked in Lloydminster, Sk for three years and during my time there was able to work with children who were in protective care, families experiencing extreme poverty, and build social and emotional supports for students in the school environment. I learned to think from a biopsychosocial perspective and take interventions outside of the typical “box” in order to create success for individuals and families.

Experiencing compassion, care, and sense of safety from others in a traumatic time in my life showed me how important those safe relationships can be during trying times, and furthered my desire to provide that same care, safety, and compassion to others struggling.

I opened my private practice in October, 2020. You can email me directly at honeymancounselling@gmail.com for scheduling or any questions.
