Career Guidance Therapists in Victoria, BC
I draw from a range approaches depending upon your needs and preferences. Among them are cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiological ideas, family systems therapy, and attachment theory. It is common for clients to arrive with issues identified only to discover that there are other deeper and more fundamental issues which underlie them. I work at a pace compatible with your ability to integrate change. I am gentle and encouraging, but firm and forthright. I provide a free initial consultation so you can determine whether you feel comfortable with me. My aim is for you to feel welcome, safe and comfortably challenged.

I work with adults, youth, children, and families. I use a strength-based approach to address concerns, and draw on the theories of narrative, response-based, cognitive behavioural and emotion focused therapy in my work. I also specialize in EMDR, an evidence-based trauma-processing therapy. I also employ arts-based approaches, incorporating music and visual arts, especially when working with children and youth. I’m trained in Lifespan Integration Therapy, another approach that helps to resolve trauma symptoms and address other mental health challenges including addiction issues, anxiety and depression.

You keep up with your work and responsibilities, but inside it’s a constant balancing act. Maybe you lie awake replaying mistakes in your head, try to numb out, or feel mentally and emotionally drained no matter how much you push forward.

I help people move from overwhelm to resilience with compassion, clarity, and over 30 years of experience
Vulnerability can feel uncomfortable, yet when seen as a transition toward confidence, self‑esteem, and resilience, it becomes healthier to move forward and seek a therapist who can support you. Finding the right fit is the most important step in easing stress. Many of us face challenges such as unhappiness, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, sleep issues, separation, divorce, trauma, relationship and parenting struggles, emotion regulation, communication, boundaries, personal growth, caregiver burden, and more.

Please contact me directly if you are a Veteran, RCMP member, or CAF member who needs support completing the Medical Questionnaire for Psychological Conditions (PEN6248) for a disability application. I have extensive experience completing these disability assessment forms. The VAC disability application process can be daunting and painful. I always do my best to guide members through this process compassionately, with the precise relevant information gathered and presented, no more and no less. I try to reduce, as much as possible, the pain that can be caused by unnecessarily revisiting difficult and traumatic memories.

These feelings may be exacerbated by a new role, job, relationship, a recent loss, or a life transition.
We all long for and deserve to be seen and known. I offer curious and compassionate witnessing––walking alongside clients as they learn to see themselves in a new light, ask new questions and find meaningful answers.
Clients often initiate therapy in the midst of change. They may be grappling with questions of personal identity, family history or unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
I most often work with attachment injuries, avoidance in relationships, depression, isolation, overwhelming emotions, identity curiosities, challenges in relationships, prenatal/postpartum/parenting struggles, creative blocks and/or childhood trauma.

People with ADHD are bright, empathetic, and creative. We often struggle with harnessing our uniquely wired brains to fit into a world built for neurotypicals. We know we are capable of so much more, but we're functioning well under that capacity. Examples of the issues we experience include time management, organization, remembering things and motivating ourselves to do things. Other forms of mental illness may accompany our ADHD. However, with some support, we can improve our systems for functioning in ways that are actually fun. We can also improve our intimate relationships, which makes life better all-round.

Do you want to make changes in your life but find you keep hitting the same walls?
Stress, anxiety and depression can rob you of sleep, damage your relationships and make it hard to function at home, work, or school. Family and relationship struggles can be overwhelming and past traumas you can make you feel powerless to create a better life.
When problems feel too big, it can be hard to know where to start. Working together we will open up a space to untangle the knots of life; rediscover your innate creativity and strength; and identify the resources that you need to grow.

Do you ever wonder who you’re expected to be in different spaces, or catch yourself thinking, “Am I too much? Not enough? Doing this all wrong?” Do you ever feel you don’t quite fit anywhere, always shifting, keeping it together, or being the steady one while everything around you keeps changing? Maybe you’re carrying expectations from your family, culture, or relationships that feel heavy, and confusing. If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t need the right words or to over-explain yourself to belong here. This is a place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together, a space where you can be just yourself.

Are you feeling anxious, stuck, or weighed down by self-doubt? Life transitions, relationship struggles, or low self-esteem may be making it difficult to trust yourself or set boundaries.
