Whatever brings you here, welcome. 

Perhaps you have been struggling with difficult emotions, and you want to feel better inside. Maybe your relationships have been feeling more challenging than fulfilling lately. You might find yourself at a crossroads in life, unsure which direction to go next. There may be no specific reason at all, just a sense that something isn't quite right.

Counselling offers a place to bring your challenges and receive support. You don't have to navigate life's struggles alone. Together, we can make sense of what is happening and clarify your path toward greater well-being.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering online counselling for adults in British Columbia. I support people with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. You are also welcome to bring questions about identity, values, meaning, and spirituality. Counselling is your space. You can bring whatever feels important to you.

My Approach

Effective counselling involves more than choosing a specific type of therapy. It is also about the relationship we build, a shared understanding of your goals, a plan that makes sense to you, and our willingness to adjust when something is not helping.

That is why my approach is grounded in client feedback. I check in with you at every session to see how you are doing and how you feel about our work together. Your goals and preferences guide the type of therapy we try and what we do in each session.

Depending on what you are looking for, sessions might include:

• Questions to help you explore new perspectives.
• Mapping patterns to help you understand where you feel stuck.
• Slowing down to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, or body sensations.
• Exercises to help you process inner conflict or difficult memories.
• Skills to help you manage strong feelings or navigate relationships.

My favourite part of counselling is how creative it is. I love learning what resonates for each client and exploring their unique view of the world. My aim is for you to feel heard, understood, accepted, and empowered as a result of our time together.
