About Jonie

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Canadian Certified Counsellor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals, children, youth and families. My background includes more than 1,200 hours providing mental health and counselling services to children and youth, along with experience helping families navigate challenges and strengthen relationships.

My approach is collaborative, relational and strengths-based. I work with clients to understand their concerns, build on their existing strengths and find practical strategies that fit their needs and values. I aim to create a supportive space where clients can explore difficult experiences and work toward meaningful change.

I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) and draw on evidence-informed approaches to support clients experiencing anxiety, trauma and life transitions. My work with parents and families focuses on strengthening connection, improving communication and supporting healthier family dynamics.

I have also served on the Kelty Mental Health and BC Children's Hospital Parent Advisory Committee, reflecting my commitment to improving mental health support for children and families.
