It takes strength to be yourself in this world...

Whether you're feeling stuck or simply need a place to feel seen and heard, counselling is an important step towards living a better life. 

Jessamyn Stewart

I am a Registered Social Worker and counsellor, living, working and playing on the unceded territories of the LkLÉ™k̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Esquimalt) and WSÁNEĆ Peoples, otherwise known as Victoria. I offer individual and couples counselling in person and online throughout British Columbia, and online only in Ontario.

The world today is loud with self-help and therapeutic insights, but nothing is more valuable than your own inner guidance and truth. Let me help you access that voice by tackling the things that get in the way of you hearing yourself. It's important that you find a therapist that works for you, so take your time here to see if it feels like a good fit and reach out if you have any questions. I would love to hear from you.

Approaches to Therapy

We might be a good fit if you...

  • Feel weighed down by shame or self-judgment, and are ready to explore where it comes from
  • Struggle to express your needs, emotions, or desires—especially in relationships
  • Want to understand how your past experiences—especially early ones—still shape how you show up in the world
  • Are experiencing grief, loss or heartbreak 
  • Are interested in therapy that moves beyond surface-level solutions and into the deeper story
  • Identify with being neurodivergent and need support navigating communication, relationships and atypical lifestyles
  • Want to rewrite old internal narratives and find more meaning in your experiences
  • Are opening your relationship for the first time or need a therapist who doesn't pathologize non-monogamy
  • Are interested in therapy that moves beyond surface-level solutions and into the deeper story

"The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door; if you have an old, old story, that is a door; if you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door; if you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door."

- Clarissa Pinkola Estés
