Holly (she/her) has provided therapy and counselling support for concerns related to fertility, reproductive health, and sexual health for over 20 years. 

Acting on a lifelong interest in reproductive health, Holly got her start as a counsellor in a number of Vancouver youth and women’s clinics. In 2004, Holly became a clinical counsellor at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre, gaining extensive experience in the departments of:  reproductive endocrinology & infertility (REI/IVF); pelvic pain & endometriosis (CPP); recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL); early pregnancy loss (EPAC); elective cesarean (Choices in Childbirth); and specialized women’s health (CARE); and completed an internship at the BC Reproductive Mental Health Program. 

Holly was the counsellor at the province’s only publicly funded fertility clinic at the time, the former BC Women’s Centre for Reproductive Health (UBC IVF) before joining the team that launched Canada’s first interdisciplinary Centre for Chronic Pelvic Pain & Endometriosis.

In 2018, Holly made the decision to leave her permanent position at BC Women’s Hospital to focus primarily on private practice, which she opened in 2007.

In her practice, Holly provides counselling/therapy to adults. She also facilitates workshops, presents lectures, and provides professional consultation. Holly is a member of several committees related to fertility counselling, medical ethics, and fertility law, and has co-authored publications related to fertility and pelvic pain.

Holly is committed to lifelong learning and holds several qualifications, including a master’s degree in counselling psychology from UBC. She is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association. She is an active member of the Canadian Fertility & Andrology Society and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine allowing her to stay up-to-date on research and guidelines. 

Holly grew up mainly in Winnipeg. She spent many years travelling, working, and studying across Canada and internationally before calling Vancouver home for over 20 years. Recently settling in Kelowna, Holly now provides virtual counselling from the sunny Syilx/Okanagan. She looks forward to connecting with you soon.
