When people talk about the challenges they’re facing, I often find myself saying:
“There’s counselling for that.”
Because there is!
For more than 30 years, I’ve worked in psychology and mental health, supporting individuals and couples through trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, sexual concerns, burnout, and major life transitions. Over time, I’ve come to believe something deeply:
Most of us are incredibly resilient.
But sometimes we shouldn’t have to do it alone.
Here on Hornby Island, and working with clients throughout British Columbia, I offer counselling that is grounded, experienced, and deeply relational.
Post graduate: Gottman Method Couples Therapy (level 1, 2, 3) and multiple Gottman workshops, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) certified, and multiple Sex Therapy & Psychedelic Assisted Therapy trainings. I work with youth 14+, adults, couples and families, specializing in trauma therapy, solutions focused approaches and mindfulness/CBT.
I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and am registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors: RCC 13220. I see clients in person at my home office on Hornby Island BC and online Tuesday to Thursday from 10 - 6:30. I also offer week-end individual and couple intensives booked directly through me.
