Individual Counselling Therapy is a category that includes all modalities of psychotherapy between one practitioner and one client. This discipline begins with the relationship between client and therapist, and then uses established mental health principles, values and techniques to aid the client in achieving insight into existing challenges, gaining new skills and capacities, and earning emotional freedom from historical issues. The foundation of any effective therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist, and research confirms that this relationship is the single most important factor in the success of therapy.

Individual Counselling Therapy is not age restricted though minors will need the consent of legal guardians to access sessions.


Relationship Counselling Therapy

Relationship therapy begins with establishing shared goals and proceeds to sessions in pursuit of the identified goals. Relationship Therapy is designed to address the presented difficulties and to pursue desired outcomes, often to overcome barriers, blocks, and negative patterns, and to discover how to move towards lasting change.

Welcome to my practice. I believe that every person has the capacity for change. Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life’s circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.

As a counsellor, I bring my whole self to this work. My goal is to honour the dignity of each person in the room, so that you can experience support, and encouragement in the specific ways you need as an individual, couple, or family. At the heart of what I do is deep listening. This means, I not only listen when you speak, but I attune myself to the meaning and emotions underneath your words. I want to understand who you are, so that we can explore the issues, concerns, and patterns that are impacting your life. During our sessions, I create both a gentle and deliberate pacing, so that you feel calm and reassured to navigate your own healing and growth.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#23244) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and hold a Master’s of Counselling Psychology from Adler University, a Master of Arts in Acoustic Communication from Simon Fraser University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Victoria. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Observed & Experiential Integration (OEI). Official training aside, in my personal journey, I have drawn strength from my relationships built in community and from matriarch leaders. This education have informed all aspects of my life, including my work as a counsellor.
