Medavie Blue Cross Therapists in Saanichton, BC
I work with adults experiencing the effects of trauma, including survivors of sexualized and domestic violence, and first responders and front-line workers exposed to occupational stress and critical incidents. Many are navigating PTSD or C-PTSD, along with anxiety, depression, or substance use. Clients often present with dysregulation and the ongoing impact of trauma on relationships, safety, and daily functioning. I use a relational, client-centred approach and work collaboratively to identify and address these patterns. I hold a master’s in counselling psychology from UVic and am currently completing a PhD at UBC.

You might look completely fine to everyone around you, and still feel quietly exhausted, unsure, or angry on the inside.
Maybe you've learned to be accommodating, capable, and responsible — often to the point where you’re carrying far more than your share. You may overthink decisions, struggle to say no, replay conversations long after they’re over, or feel guilty for having needs at all. These patterns often get normalized rather than questioned.
If you’re constantly managing other people’s expectations, second-guessing yourself, or over-functioning, you are not alone. I've personally been there, too.

Your family means everything to you, but parenting can feel overwhelming when your child is struggling emotionally or behaviourally. You may be watching them cope with anxiety, big emotions, loss, trauma, or difficult transitions and wondering how to help. Many parents quietly ask themselves, Am I doing this right? Sometimes our own past experiences can make parenting even harder. At the heart of it all, parents want the same thing: for their children to feel confident, connected, resilient, and hopeful about their future.

On the outside, things may look fine. You manage your responsibilities and get through the day. But internally, there may be a sense of tension—reactivity, irritability, or emotional overwhelm that feels difficult to understand or control. At times, you may find yourself responding in ways that don’t align with how you see yourself, particularly in close relationships.
These patterns are often not random. They tend to reflect earlier emotional and relational experiences that continue to shape how you feel, interpret situations, and respond to others.

Racialized adults, trauma-exposed professionals, couples in crisis, neurodiverse people, and others. I've noticed a trend... Some people wait as long as they can before getting support, others reach out early, but no one is better off alone. Trauma holds us back. Neurodiversity complicates things (like navigating a society not designed with you in mind!). Grief, Loss, and other Life Transitions pile on extra stress during trying times. With support, I'm confident you'll find your way forward.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to cope with life’s current challenges? Sometimes our usual ways of managing stress stop working, or major life changes push us into uncharted territory. You may feel misunderstood by those closest to you or unsure how to ask for support.

Hello! As a South Asian woman of colour, I have grown up and experienced living in a multicultural society, balancing the different identities that may come from being a child of immigrants as well as having peers of differing backgrounds. This has helped me develop a unique understanding of the experiences of those similar and different to me. I understand that our cultural upbringings, beliefs, and values may both help and hinder us in some ways as we grow into who we are today. We are made up of so many parts that make us who we are, and that is so important to understand and work with for your mental health and wellbeing.

Do you feel overwhelmed by food, frustrated by your body, or stuck in a cycle of restriction and guilt? Do you live with a health condition like diabetes, PCOS, or high cholesterol and feel unsure how to eat in a way that supports your well-being without becoming obsessed with “doing it right”? You’re not alone. Many people feel anxious, confused, or ashamed when it comes to food—especially when health concerns enter the picture. If you’re exhausted by all-or-nothing thinking, chronic dieting, or trying to “eat perfectly,” I can help you find another way.

I work with children (4–12), youth, adults, parents, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, OCD, neurodiversity, trauma, C-PTSD, relationship or parenting challenges, and disabilities. I see those I work with as people optimistically seeking opportunities, possibilities, and hope as they move toward seeing themselves as accepted, valuable, and loveable. I believe this journey flourishes in a safe space that fosters confidence, self-acceptance, interdependence, and meaningful relationships.
