Some of my highlights

Nadine (she/her) is a registered social worker (#08802) with a masters degree in social work and post graduate certificates in emotion focused family therapy, trauma informed interventions, including EMDR and Aboriginal Family Systems.

Nadine brings to the team counselling approaches that are person centred, response-based and which locate the problems people experience within the sociopolitical context of our society and community. Nadine attends regular therapy and clinical consultation to best serve her clients. Nadine also volunteers on the crisis line for the local domestic violence sexual assault response team, is a member of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and works with both Crime Victim Assistance, Veterans Affairs, and First Nations Health Authority.

Nadine has been working in the counselling field since 2001, primarily with individuals and families responding to oppression, abuse, neglect, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, in both non profit and private practice settings. She feels a deep privilege to give back to the community through these efforts of joining people in a counselling relationship.

Nadine also appreciates the opportunity to join individuals who are working through life transitions, sexual/gender identity concerns, a fertility journey, separation/divorce, understanding their neurodiversity and families looking to support themselves and their children through these experiences.  She is also consistently engaging in community to build her ongoing capacity to work in a culturally safe way and to contribute to Kamloops being a community that is an inclusive place for us to live.

Nadine welcomes the opportunity to collaborate on how best to work together.
