I am an RCC specializing in treating addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and interpersonal issues. My approach is rooted in the belief that a greater awareness of where our actions and reactions come from can give us the power to change. I work with my clients to understand how their attachment styles and life experiences have informed how they relate to others and to themselves. With this knowledge we work together to address unwanted behaviours and implement new coping skills for emotional regulation and communication.

NEW: Accepting Clients at $60/session - Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I am a Master in Counselling Psychology practicum counsellor seeing clients under the supervision of Kirk Beasse, MC, RPsych 2207 (Registered Psychologist) as part of my counselling practicum. I am passionate about helping clients through an integrative, body-mind approach that recognizes clients’ innate ability for change, growth, and healing.

Welcome to my site! Psychotherapy is an invaluable process that can benefit your overall emotional and mental health. It can help you develop an awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep you stuck . You will be assisted in developing deeper insight into the patterns that are causing you to experience emotional distress and preventing you from making changes that will help you move forward in a positive direction. I will guide and support you through this process of change through the integration of evidence based strategies and tools.

Are you suffering with depression, anxiety or trauma? Or are you struggling with unrealistic fears and worry? You may have suffered childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or other more recent trauma. If you feel stuck in a rut, and find yourself repeating the same old unhealthy patterns, I can help you to make positive change, transform negative, limiting core beliefs, and move forward into a more fulfilling, joyful, and satisfying experience of life. If you'd like more peace in your life, please feel free to give me a call. I offer a free phone consult of up to 20 mins.

Vulnerability can make us feel very uncomfortable, but if we view it as a transition, into higher self-esteem/confidence & therefore more life resilience then it is much healthier to forge ahead to find a therapist who can support us. Finding the best fit in seeking a therapist is the most important step in relieving your stress. Many of us struggle with unhappiness, anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, sleep deprivation, separation, divorce, conflict resolution, trauma, relationship, and parenting issues, emotion regulation, communication and assertiveness, boundaries, personal development, caregiver burden and so much more

My focus is to address your issue(s) and teach practices such as meditation/relaxation, feeling feelings, managing mind, and how to recognize and access intuition. I use methods such as CBT , EFT, Gestalt Psychology, and guided imagery for intuition development. Also I am recovered from anxiety, an eating disorder, relationship challenges and more and so I use the practices too. I address various areas for example anxiety, depression, eating issues, ADHD, sleep issues, grief, burnout, pain management, separation, family issues and dating issues.

I offer psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments primarily for children to young adults. I specialize in learning disorders, ADHD, executive function challenges, as well as the impact of complex developmental and neurological issues on learning and behavior. I do not provide diagnostic assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorders, however I believe that a comprehensive assessment to outline how an individual on the spectrum learns best can be extremely helpful.

NEW: Accepting new clients for Psychology and Counselling services. Fairfield Psychology provides community-based psychology and counselling sessions in the Greater Victoria area. Our Registered Psychologist (Patricia Miller, MA, RPsych 2741) is currently accepting new adult and teen (12+) clients for sessions (individual, couples, family) as well as assessments and mediation. Our Clinical Counsellors are also accepting new adult individual clients for in-person or online sessions. Weekday and evening appointments are available.

Over the past few years our work, schools, homes, families, and daily occupations have been disrupted. As a result, we may feel stressed, overwhelmed, or deeply discouraged. In the absence of the activities we typically 'do', we may have become increasingly vulnerable to unhealthy behaviours and patterns. As an Occupational Therapy I can support you to build awareness of your internal and external challenges, develop new skills and capacities, and reveal new opportunities for growth.

Welcome! I appreciate your actions in deciding to take care of yourself in dealing with whatever stress, pain or change and transition you may be experiencing at this time in your life. I approach my work compassionately acknowledging one’s difficulties as well as one’s strengths. I support clients in identifying personal needs and creating plans for healing and growth.

Psychotherapy is the confidential process where you can get insight from an experienced registered Psychologist in understanding how life-stressors can interfere with your thinking patterns, feelings, beliefs, needs, behaviour and relationships. Prolonged exposure to stress, unhappiness, conflict, trauma, abuse or problematic relationships can lead to anxiety, depression, grief, anger or other behavioural problems. Brain research clearly indicated that early psychological intervention can prevent mental and physical illnesses. Clients now have the opportunity to be proactive and learn the skills on how to protect their mental health, restore their competence and happiness and develop a strong sense of well-being and resiliency.

I specialize in working with individuals, adolescents/children and their families. I offer counselling for parents who are struggling with their parenting role. I also specialize in helping families and couples that are going through restructuring due to illness, death, separation and/or divorce. I am collaborative and strengths-based in my approach. I meet the client where the client is and work from there in a non-pathologizing way.
