Available both in-person and online
2541 Empire Street 2nd Floor Victoria, BC V8T
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.
I specialize in non-directive and directive play therapy, sand tray, and expressive arts play therapy for children, and utilize CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy with youth and adults. For couples wanting to improve the quality of their relationships I use the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy.
Reading this profile is an optimistic action. Be encouraged because you now know that you have the courage to move forward in a way that is meaningful to you. You are not alone. Together we can work towards clarification of what you value and believe so that you can decide how to be the best version of yourself. Consider taking the journey of your life.
