How do I know if I need counselling?
Counselling will help you to navigate through a challenging time in your life by providing you with the opportunity to develop a greater perspective on your life. Counselling will also help you to learn new skills to make long desired changes in self-limiting behaviours you may be enacting; as well, I will support you in the expression and processing of emotions that at times can seem overwhelming and confusing.

About Me

Hello and Welcome! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I have over 15 years of supporting both individuals and couples through challenging passages during their lives. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling from Gonzaga University (2002). I bring both breadth and depth to my clinical practice having worked in the field of palliative care for ten years, as well I have experience supporting clients overcoming drug and alcohol addiction as well as patterns of disordered eating. Currently I also work supporting clients and family members through the Patient and Family Counselling Services at the BC Cancer Agency here in Victoria. I work from both a systems perspective, which acknowledges the impact of culture, gender and class and race on our lived experience as well as from an interpersonal perspective, recognizing our own strengths and resiliency in spite of outside forces and conditions. My passion is in supporting people in removing the obstacles that sometimes block us from pursuing a richer, more creative and more satisfying life, no matter what is happening.
