Do you want change in your life that invites balance, calm, health and well-being? Are you seeking support with self-esteem, relationships, anxiety, trauma, grief, ageing, career burnout or stress management?

Curiosity about the human experience is what motivates my work as a therapist, and I see healing as a creative and nonlinear process that happens through deepening one's awareness of their lived experience. No matter what you've been through or are actively going through, we can make space together to slow down, connect, process, and build self-compassion and curiosity. My hope is that you can cultivate meaning and grow stronger in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

I am incredibly grateful to live in a beautiful costal community and honoured to have the opportunity to practice counselling on Vancouver Island.

Have you found yourself feeling out of sorts, overwhelmed, confused, down, fatigued, unmotivated or just not enjoying life anymore? Our world unexpectedly and drastically changed in 2020. For many of us, it shook our sense of safety, our sense of belonging and how we see our world. The silver lining is that it has given us an opportunity to pause and reevaluate our lives. It’s a time of rediscovering who we are and what matters most. When going through such rich but intense personal growth, it’s healing to have someone to help you make meaning of where you are going and what you are going through.

My primary work is in sexual, and complex mental health concerns. I have extensive training in ISTDP, Direct Neurofeedback (DNF), and behavioral approaches such as CBT, and DBT. This makes me highly effective working with disorders such as anxiety, depression, BPD, addictions, pain and medically complex conditions. My diverse range of skills, such including harassment investigation, and conflict resolution mediation, with my 25 years in the military proves me to be a very direct clinician. I work with individuals, couples and families/supports with varied needs. Most importantly, I strive to provide a safe space for all clients.

Relationships can give us purpose and joy, but they can also be complicated and uncomfortable. This can be especially true for women: many of us put extra care into tending and repairing relationships, which can leave us feeling lonely and frustrated. You may be craving care, acceptance, and belonging. Instead, you may be feeling stuck, discouraged, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and questioning if things will ever be different. Whether you’re feeling this way in your romantic, friendship, parenting, or family relationships, please know that you’re not alone.

Anxiety and depression are common issues in my practice and they can be the underlying condition in many situations. They can affect relationships, parenting, work performance, family dynamics to name a few. Therapy can assist with problem solving and gaining a better understanding of the behaviours that are causing difficulties in life. Some of my work involves life coaching and I am also a divorce coach. I offer expertise and support in the overwhelming process of separation and the difficulties involved in supporting children through divorce and separation.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Does conflict, abuse or loneliness describe your relationships? Together, we can discover how you can reclaim your life and enjoy well-being.

I can help. Do you have chronic conflict in your personal relationship? I provide counselling for couples to develop intimate connection, trust and an enduring, affectionate partnership.
