I specialize in individual, adult counselling.

I am trained in family systems and attachment theory, trauma resolution and developmental psychology. I know the personal challenges of recovering from illness, grief, relational trauma and traumatic loss. I understand the very significant difference between surviving and thriving. I can help you rediscover your joy and your natural exuberance for life.

I have a Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and a certified Somatic Transformation (ST) practitioner. I was a CSAT (Carnes) and then trained with Dr. Minwalla in Deceptive Sexuality Trauma (DST). I recently completed my Bodynamics Practitioner training (2024) , a three year developmental psychology model.

The Benefits of Counselling

Counselling with me will offer you insights into yourself and illuminate any patterns that might be there.

Sometimes these patterns show up in relationships: I keep meeting women who… I keep meeting men who… or sometimes they show up in yourself: this keeps happening to me or I can’t seem to get where I want to be.

Counselling will increase your self-awareness and your intimacy with yourself.

Enhanced awareness allows you to make choices that are consistently positive for you and end patterns that no longer work for you.
