Adults Therapists in Victoria, BC
In my therapeutic practice, I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support to clients navigating trauma and life’s challenges. Specializing in Expressive Art Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I blend talk, creative expression, and body awareness to help you process difficult emotions. Trauma isn’t always easy to express through words alone, so I use creativity and alternative forms of self-expression to offer a safe and freeing space for exploring complex feelings.

I work with couples, parents, and individuals wanting support with their relationships and personal development. Intimate relationships require an investment of time, care, commitment, and trust, as well as a willingness to be vulnerable. When difficulties do arise, experienced support and guidance can make a significant difference. As a relationship-focused counsellor, my goal is to provide the specific support you and your partner need to deeply understand - and begin shifting - your interpersonal dynamics in order to build a capacity for greater emotional freedom and connection.

I will help you access your body based intuition so that you can find answers that are right for you. Your inner somatic wisdom holds the answer to what you need to feel good. While our minds are busy trying to figure things out, our body's somatic felt sense has a sense of what resonates. For over 20 years I have helped people heal from personal, intergenerational, and collective trauma, depression, and more using focusing therapy, art therapy, EMDR and more. Psychedelic somatic interactional psychotherapy uses cannabis or low dose ketamine to help your nervous system release stored trauma.

As a social worker specializing in sex therapy, I help clients explore sex and intimacy with openness, curiosity, and compassion. We work together to uncover and understand the factors that shape sexual experiences, including early messaging about sex, cultural narratives, and individual desires. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can express their needs, confront barriers to intimacy and deepen emotional and physical connection. Whether through communication skills, self-exploration, or somatic techniques, I work with clients to determine how they can best experience fulfilling and authentic sexual lives.

My focus is to support you to build inner safety so you can embody your power and essence.

The challenges I work with include emotional (terror, anger, shame), grief & loss, nervous system patterns, relationships, anxiety, depression, self-worth, and spiritual.

I work with folks who are experiencing post-traumatic stress responses, anxiety, depression, the effects of abuse and early attachment wounds. Through a relational, attachment-based somatic approach to counselling, I can help clients develop a stronger sense of self, increase their capacity to tolerate emotions, learn to self-regulate the nervous system, repair relational injuries, get "unstuck", and heal from the effects of trauma in an embodied way.
