I offer online and in-person counselling in Langford, BC to help youth (13+) adults, couples and families navigate personal, relational, professional, and situational distress by creating a space of safety, exploration, and support. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Meditation Instructor. I believe that meaningful and lasting change happens when we deepen our self-awareness, build on our existing capacity for self-healing and expand our toolkit with new insights and skills. My goal is to provide a support space where clients can explore new possibilities, gently push boundaries at a pace that feels right for them, and experience meaningful growth and transformation.

Here are some key areas that I focus on in my practice:

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) & Anxiety: OCD is more common than many people realize. Anxiety can run deep, shaped by past experiences and patterns of thinking. OCD and Anxiety can show up in our bodies, yet we may tend to intellectualize and overthink, leaving us feel stuck and overwhelmed. In our work together, we gently explore the sources and patterns of anxiety and OCD. Drawing on my specialized training, I can help you develop new skills to respond to life’s challenges and regain your confidence to move forward.

EMDR and Trauma: I have extensive experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I use trauma-informed evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and heal from the effects of stress, trauma, and PTSD. Whatever your story may be, I provide a safe and supportive environment as you resilience and strengthen your capacity for change and growth.

Transition & Change: Life is filled with transitions and changes, both expected and unexpected. Many clients share how difficult it can be to navigate these experiences. Uncertainty, stress, and a loss of connection or purpose can be challenging. But transitions can also provide opportunities to re-evaluate priorities and grow.  Together, we can explore these experiences, build resilience, and define new goals for moving forward.

Relationships: Relationship challenges, such as breakdown in communication and trust or difference in parenting approaches, can cause breakdowns in the relationship and dynamics that leave us feeling stuck. Together, we can explore the dynamics in your relationships to better understand your communication skills, values, and problem solving in a way that aligns with your strengths, and allows both parties to feel heard and validated within the relationship.
