Welcome to Healing Horizons Therapy!
I am accepting new clients for both individual and couples sessions. I am currently seeing clients online and in-person.
To let you know a little about me, I have a master’s degree in counselling from Providence University and Seminary in Manitoba. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BCACC (BC Association of Clinical Counsellors) and a Certified Professional Counsellor (CPC) witih PACCP. Additionally, I am a professional member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists in the USA.
I am originally from Victoria, BC, and recently moved back with my family to the island after spending many years in Calgary, followed by 12 years as a missionary counselor in Rwanda, Africa, establishing the Lighthouse Counselling Centre in Kigali. www.lighthouserwanda.org
With over 20 years of clinical experience, I consider myself to be an empathetic and active listener who is passionate about helping people overcome the problems in their lives that impact their daily living. As a counselor, I am honored to walk alongside you as a guide assisting you in navigating the issues that are concerning to you and uncovering resources, to support you along this journey. My goal is to create a space where you can be authentically yourself.
- I believe that developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients is essential to the process of emotional and psychological healing.
- I believe that my clients are the experts on their own lives and that they need to be in the driver's seat when it comes to therapy.
- I believe that counseling is a journey, not a destination, and that each person requires an individualized approach to their counseling.
I work from an integrated approach, utilizing person-centered, attachment-based, and emotion-focused methods to inform my therapy. My areas of expertise include pre-marital and couples therapy, identity issues, mental health, cross-cultural living, and spirituality. I am also an Enneagram Accredited Practitioner.
It would be my pleasure to connect with you soon and begin working together.
