As a neurodivergent and highly sensitive person, I understand what it is like to experience the world with greater intensity. My person-centered approach situates the client as their own expert, with myself as the guide towards a variety of counselling goals such as increased self-awareness and insight, building a toolkit of skills or unlearning maladaptive ways of feeling, thinking and responding. Utilizing mindfulness, somatic, cognitive, emotionally focused, dialectical behavioral, harm-reduction and narrative techniques, I strive to help clients 10 and up regain agency through acceptance and management.

Hi there! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Langford, BC. I love to work with a wide range of clients in terms of diversity, age range and ability. As a therapist my role is to facilitate inner peace and positive growth. To me, counselling is an important part of cultivating peace and justice in our world.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

ARE YOU A TEEN, OR A PARENT OF A TEEN? Are you feeling challenged, misunderstood, or feeling pressure in teenagehood? Or are you are parent who is challenged by your teen? Depression, anger, and anxiety are common feelings that can be running the show for teens and parents during this developmental stage of teenagehood, and can feel overwhelming. Staying trapped in the same fights, frustrations, anxieties, and unhappiness is a harmful cycle that can have lasting effects.

I am currently accepting new clients for virtual counselling - I work collaboratively with my clients to gently and curiously explore their lived experiences and life contexts. My goal is to help you foster greater insight, understanding, and acceptance of the patterns in your life that have gotten you to where you are today. At the same time, I will help encourage you to explore meaningful and empowering changes so that you can begin to live the life you want.

I offer a respect-focused, narrative approach to help you navigate life's challenges and discover solutions. I am honoured to support individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, interpersonal challenges, and burn-out.

Imagine stepping out of survival mode into thrive mode to live your best life! If you have been contending with the negative impact of trauma and past impactful experiences, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) may well be a best option for you. Through the use of rapid eye movements that evoke the relaxation response, ART facilitates the resolution of problematic reactions and coping strategies. ART works to file past negative experiences in the brain more effectively so they no longer impact you in the present, freeing you from negative patterns of reactivity.
