Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Victoria, BC
As a registered counsellor in clinical counselling, I am certified to implement a variety of therapies, such as mindfulness based CBT, to understand and make meaning out of new or continued difficulties and changes in life.
I focus on recognizing and managing changes in stress or mood such as anxiety, depression or suicide thoughts. Life transitions are difficult and I offer counselling to get through these times with understanding and growth. I also offer counselling concerning relationships: work; family (childhood and present); intimate partnerships; and friendships.

My approach is psychodynamic and is rooted in attachment theory and family systems, while incorporating CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and EMDR when appropriate.
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.

It is my pleasure to assist clients in connecting with their innate capacity to heal, supporting them to know their inner self and to trust themselves. I have extensive experience assisting a diverse range of clients with symptoms of ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Stress, and Relationship Conflict to achieve their goals, develop new skills, regain emotional balance, and increase their sense of well-being. Clients can expect to feel deeply understood and validated while being gently invited to identify distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviour patterns that interfere with their ability to live their best life.

My practice is informed by my deep passion for embodiment practices such as mindfulness, vipassana meditation, dance, and contact improvisation.
My intention is to hold clients in a space of warmth and care, recognizing the inherent worthiness and beauty that lives within each person and reflecting that back to them. If you choose to work with me, I will support you in building the resiliency needed to endure and alchemize life’s pain and discomfort. We will do this by gaining awareness of what is happening below the surface of the mind; in the body and the emotional world, and staying present with your experience. Ultimately, my goal is to help you bring love, compassion, and kindness to the most neglected parts of yourself.

Living in today's world is hard and complex. Psychotherapies have also evolved a lot in the past 10 years, and the timing is ripe to heal intergenerational trauma.

I use a blend of approaches including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, existential therapy and mindfulness.
Most importantly, I don't believe in telling people what to do. Instead I believe in helping people get to where they want to be with their quality of life. Depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction often involve loss and I believe that people can most effectively recover from these challenges when they have the proper support to help make sense of loss.

I integrate parts work (IFS), mindfulness & neuroscience findings that encourage clients to heal from the inside out.
From working in highly-capitalist, patriarchal & fat-phobic industries, I know how much unlearning, self-advocacy & grace that are required to attempt well-being in this world. Throughout my journey of healing from adverse childhood experiences & shame, I know it’s not always smooth sailing. Rather, the shores can be choppy or unpredictable & we may need support of an anchor to feel more stable. Through genuine authenticity, compassion & curiosity, I strive to cultivate a soft landing place where clients can drop their defenses & anchor into their inner truth and authority (You may notice by now I also love a good metaphor)!
