Registered Clinical Counsellor

Greater Victoria
Online, In Person
Accepting New Clients

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering online and in-person counselling in Victoria, BC for youth, adults, couples and families. The range of issues I help address includes post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and domestic violence. I also also helped couples and families in managing situations such as divorce, infidelity, communication issues, and parenting.

As a therapist, I am passionate about creating a safe and confidential space where you can explore your challenges and work towards meaningful change. Using this approach, it is my privilege to help people heal through a well thought out therapeutic process. This includes working together to identify patters that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we can find hope and work towards a healthier, more positive life. I believe everyone is capable of change with the right support and guidance, and I am here to provide that. 

The counselling approaches I use are evidence-based and include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and Systems Therapy. My treatment planning also incorporates biopsychosocial and neuropsychological perspectives into my treatment planning. My clients have found these approaches helpful in managing their mental health challenges. Each approach is tailored to your individual needs to support you in your healing journey. 

I provide counselling in both English and Spanish.
