Hi, I’m Kate!

I’m grateful to live and work on the ancestral and unceded territory of Tla’amin Nation here in beautiful Powell River, BC. 

While I genuinely enjoy meaningful conversations and getting to know people, I’m an introvert at heart. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me on a nature walk, at the gym, cooking at home, or watching a good movie or TV series. Music has always been an important part of my life, and although my relationship with my guitar is a little on-again, off-again, I always seem to come back to it.

After graduating from CityU in 2024, I had the opportunity to join an incredible team at a treatment centre in Powell River. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals navigating trauma, addiction, and recovery. I’ve completed training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for PTSD and Complex PTSD.

Time and again, I’ve seen people heal from painful experiences, reconnect with themselves, and begin creating lives that feel more meaningful and authentic. That belief in each person's capacity for growth and healing is at the heart of how I work.

My own path to becoming a counsellor wasn’t a straight line, but I believe every step has led me to where I’m meant to be. It’s a privilege to walk alongside people during some of the most important moments in their lives, and I strive to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted just as you are.

If you're considering reaching out, I know that taking the first step can feel daunting. I’d be honoured to meet you, hear your story, and explore how we might work together. I hope we have the chance to connect.
