Welcome!  I am DeAnna, a distinguished mental health professional and the CEO/Founder of Renew Counselling & Health Coaching. Recognized as one of Brains Magazine’s top 500, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and couples overcome their personal and relational challenges.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UBC Okanagan and have amassed thousands of hours in clinical counselling. With over 10 years of university and post-secondary education, I combine extensive academic knowledge with practical experience to offer comprehensive support to my clients.

As an expert in elevating self-worth and unlocking true potential, I specialize in helping individuals navigate their journey towards self-improvement and personal growth. I am also adept at guiding couples through the complexities of infidelity and trust in the digital age.

With deep expertise and a compassionate approach, I continue to make a significant impact in the field of mental health, empowering my clients to achieve lasting transformation and fulfillment.
