“Sometimes people just need to talk. They need to be heard...they need to hear the sound of their own voices speaking their own truths, articulating their own feelings, as those may be at a particular moment.”

Hello

Whatever the reason for starting a counselling journey, finding the right therapist to work with is an important step. I offer a trauma-informed, judgement free, and holistic approach to therapy - and I’m happy to schedule a free, 20-minute virtual consultation so you can see whether my therapeutic style might be the right fit for you.

I hold a Master’s Degree of Counselling Psychology and am an active, professional member of both the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I am also recognized as an Approved Clinical Supervisor through BCACC.

In-person and virtual services

  • Individual counselling for adults 19+

  • Counselling for parents in relation to their role as caregivers

  • Clinical Supervision for RCCs and CCCs working in British Columbia

  • Presentations/public speaking to organizations, schools, or groups on the topics of: attachment, emotion dysregulation, post-critical incident response, safety planning, suicide risk assessment, and maintaining positive relationships

My clients tend to seek therapy for the following reasons:

  • Trauma - single or multiple incident events, PTSD, C-PTSD, or PTSS, or impacted by natural disaster

  • Complex family of origin experiences / intergenerational trauma

  • Caregiver burnout / compassion fatigue - caring for children, parents, or other family members

  • Parenting a child with ADHD, substance use, emotion dysregulation, or serious mental health concerns

  • Grief / loss

  • Life transitions

  • Anxiety / depression / stress / workplace burnout

  • Experiences of abuse / victimization / systemic oppression

  • Challenges related to identity

Approach

I draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches in order to tailor a unique counselling experience according to the needs and wishes of each client. These frameworks include:

Narrative Therapy / Indigenous Focusing Oriented Therapy (IFOT - land-based, somatic, intergenerational) / Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Processing (AEDP - somatic, attachment-focused) / Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) / Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) / Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) / Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) / Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) / Community Reinforcement and Family Therapy (CRAFT) / Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) / Occupational Awareness for First Responders
