I approach my work through a two-eyed seeing framework, holding both western modalities and Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, and being close to my heart. My practice is decolonial, person centered and strengths based, and includes modalities such as narrative, emotion focused, and solution focused.

My approach to therapy is unique to the problems, strengths, and experiences of each individual person. Increasing our awareness of sensations in the body and gaining insight into the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours is the foundation of my approach.

In my therapeutic practice, I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support to clients navigating trauma and life’s challenges. Specializing in Expressive Art Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I blend talk, creative expression, and body awareness to help you process difficult emotions. Trauma isn’t always easy to express through words alone, so I use creativity and alternative forms of self-expression to offer a safe and freeing space for exploring complex feelings.

Negative thoughts race through your mind all day, and keep you up at night. You go through the motions, pretending everything’s fine, but inside, you're exhausted. Life’s challenges feel overwhelming, and your relationships are suffering. You’ve started avoiding the people and activities you once enjoyed, and it feels like no one truly understands what you're going through, leaving you feeling isolated and unsupported. All you want is to feel "normal" again and get your life back. You’ve had enough, and you’re ready for change. That’s where I can help.

Located near Uvic, my practice continues to be working with children, youth and adults who are experiencing anxiety, ADHD, trauma and the behavioural outcomes that accompany these experiences. This includes working with families and the family system to create treatment and interventions that can aid the client and their family to develop a greater understanding of the causes and effects of their dynamics. I often build my counselling relationships with all family members, either individually or in small group sessions, to create a clear picture of the family dynamic we will be working with.

If you are wondering if your life is "on the right path," you are not alone. Support and awareness in times of change means that the change process reflects your values and hopes for life. Therapy includes understanding two kinds of stories: the external stories that are told about us (usually these are very unfair!) and the internal stories that emerge in response (usually these are overly protective!). I will help you to understand your Self and all the parts of who you are, increasing your ability to generate inner wells of autonomy, confidence and peace. With this knowledge, you're equipped to manage whatever life throws at you.

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.

Have you spent your entire life trying to get over your childhood? Do you deal with crippling anxiety, PTSD, crushing depression, severe sleep problems, or struggle with ADHD? My professional area of interest, and my expertise, is in helping people deal with the aftermath of trauma. I offer neurofeedback in-office. Neurofeedback reduces or eliminates symptoms that block your ability to live life to the fullest. Severe trauma--residential school survivors and their families, war veterans, those with histories of childhood abuse--may need two to three 20-session blocks.
