Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in Victoria, BC
Hello! I’m Max, I’m a counsellor with a generalist focus who works from an existential lens. Your mental health is important to me, and I want for us to work together to help you experience relief from what’s bothering you and clarity about your life. The way I work is by first teaching coping strategies to help you regulate in the present, then to explore the deeper emotional and existential basis for what brings you to counselling in the first place.

I work with children, seniors, and people of all ages to navigate complexity, stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions through art, talk, and body-based practices.
Are you feeling unclear or unsure of what’s next? Whether you’re navigating a life transition, a time of change, burnout, health challenges, anxiety, isolation, overwhelm, or something else - you're not alone. Whether in-person or online, I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to listen deeply and bear witness - helping you connect with the answers within you.
I believe imagination is accessible to everyone regardless of experience, confidence, or abilities. Art therapy isn’t about making good art; it offers a space to move, create, and communicate beyond words, connecting with the quieter parts of ourselves.

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.

It is my life goal to help people overcome adversity and live fulfilling, joyful lives. As a queer woman with lived experience in alternate relationships and familial arrangements, I seek to bring an inclusive, anti-oppressive and social justice lens to my practice. As a yoga instructor and practitioner, I bring a holistic and mindful approach to my work.
My primary approach is AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), which emphasizes 'undoing aloneness.' I deeply value the somatic and relational aspects of AEDP that help us to move through overwhelming emotion, stress, or stuckness that happen in our lives.
