Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists in Victoria, BC
You don't have to make yourself smaller, simpler, or easier to understand to belong in therapy.
If you’re carrying a complex story, I offer a space where you can bring all of it—your identities, relationships, experiences, grief, uncertainty, and the parts of yourself that may not always feel easy to explain. I provide virtual therapy for Queer, neurodivergent, and (dis)Abled adults & allies across Canada, with accessibility, curiosity, and genuine human connection at the centre of my work.

I support adults, and allies of the 2sLGBTQIA+ community who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying too much alone. Many clients come to counselling for support with trauma, stress, burnout, identity exploration, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, or life transitions. Together, we create a safe and affirming space to build insight, strengthen coping skills, heal patterns rooted in the past, and move toward greater balance, confidence, and emotional well-being.

If your mind gets caught in cycles of worry, rumination, obsessive or intrusive thoughts, you know how exhausting and isolating that can feel. You may also be carrying grief, navigating a painful family relationship, or feeling burnt out after spending so much of your life caring for others. I work with teens (13+) and adults across British Columbia who want more than temporary symptom relief—they want to understand themselves with greater compassion, learn practical skills to manage anxiety and OCD, and reconnect with what matters most in their lives.

“The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why.” — Mark Twain
Trauma can change how you experience yourself, other people and the world around you. You may appear capable and composed while privately carrying memories, reactions or patterns that no longer fit the life you want. I specialize in PTSD and complex trauma among military members, veterans, first responders and healthcare professionals. I also work with addictions, major life transitions, and the emotional effects of serious health or insurance-related challenges.

Sometimes life can feel harder than it used to, and what once felt manageable suddenly feels overwhelming. When that shift happens, having the right support can make all the difference. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic stress, ADHD, perinatal challenges including postpartum depression and anxiety, infertility, cultural pressures, and intergenerational conflict. In a compassionate, culturally responsive space, we process trauma, manage stress, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and support living in alignment with the values that matter most to you and your loved ones.

Are you feeling overcome with stress, anxiety and depressive feelings? Do you find yourself suffering from negative self-talk that contributes to a lack of self-esteem and confidence?
