I work with children, youth and adults to manage anxiety, depression, grief and loss and other life challenges. Having worked for over 10 years in elementary and middle schools in Canada and abroad, I have a strong understanding of the challenges faced by school aged children, both in and out of the school environment and enjoy working with this age group. I am also passionate about offering parenting support that encourages parents to feel confident in their role as a parent leader while maintaining and developing strong, connected relationships with their child.

Welcome! If your relationships are feeling confusing, painful, or stuck, you don’t have to navigate that alone. I offer therapy that is grounded, focused, and designed to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—and how to change it. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology. My work is focused on relationship challenges, couples therapy, and relationship-based trauma, including complex PTSD and PTSD. These experiences often show up as anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, shutdown, difficulty with intimacy, or repeating patterns that feel hard to break.

I understand that struggling can make us feel hopeless, unmotivated, and frustrated. My human experience allows me to identify with the challenges you are facing, because I face them too. It is my calling to help others at a human level on this journey of healing, and through counselling, you can feel empowered to reclaim your confidence and take back control of your life. You will not be seen as someone who is needing to be fixed or who is broken, but as a whole being who is currently struggling. Let me help you deal with the challenges and transitions that show up along the way, and lead you to a more empowered and authentic life.

I work with adults navigating heartbreak, grief, loneliness, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, neurodivergence, sexuality, and questions of identity and belonging. Many of my clients feel disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by emotions, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we create a safe space to explore what is beneath the surface, develop self-compassion, and reconnect with inner resources. My goal is to help clients move toward greater authenticity, resilience, and meaningful connection.

Curious, worn, tender, lost, grieving, hopeful, uncertain, overwhelmed - there is room for all of it here. Just show up as you are. I offer a warm, calm, and gentle space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore what’s going on for you. Sometimes this involves using words. Sometimes it involves using images, symbols, colours, lines, and shapes. I will always take your lead. My approach is strengths-based, arts-based, trauma-informed, systems-aware, somatic, accessible, and inclusive, grounded in respect, care, and cultural humility.

Victoria, BC V8W
My core work is depth-oriented therapy for high-achieving women who feel existentially alone inside a life full of people - exhausted by patterns of self-silencing, people-pleasing, and conflict avoidance they can name but can't seem to change. I also work with couples/partners across all identities and relationship structures (monogamous, polyamorous, non-monogamous, queer) who long for relationships that are deeply attuned, not simply functional. We'll find the learned pattern underneath your disconnection - reaching, retreating, with a partner or within yourself - and build a capacity for closeness that lasts.

I am a Registered Psychologist (CPBC #1774) who sees adult clients in Victoria, BC. I work with clients to develop coping skills to face challenges and accept limitations. I believe that clients benefit most from therapy when it matches their unique needs for emotional and personal growth. I use several research-supported approaches (e.g., Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to address: depression, social anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessions and compulsions (OCD), adjustment to chronic pain, trauma, anger management, stress management, life transitions, parenting, and family relationships.

My approach is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space to explore life challenges and work toward improved functioning.

My practice is centred around values of curiosity and respect for the client’s lived experience, with a focus on creating increased self compassion and internal safety. I believe that we can access internal strengths that foster improved wellbeing through increased awareness and intentional practice.

Are you going through a transition that feels bigger than you expected? Maybe it's a career change, retirement, a relationship shift, or a period of burnout where your usual ways of coping aren't working anymore. If you're someone who feels deeply and tends to carry the weight of change more than most, these times can feel especially overwhelming.
