Practice information:

I can help.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor practicing in downtown Victoria.  Counselling can help you function better: to feel calmer and more effective, to give you insight, to help you meet challenges and live more richly, to improve your relationships, and to give you self-confidence.  Counselling can also help you access your creativity.  I help many clients with challenges ranging from

• depression
• anxiety and stress
• relationship concerns, boundaries, communication
• anger
• self esteem
• self confidence
• perfectionism
• life transitions
• grief
• abortion grief
• sexual health and intimacy concerns
• prenatal loss
• healthcare concerns
• workplace concerns
• creativity

My clients report significant results.  Not only do they receive reassurance and comfort in counselling, they can get clarity about what has been happening for them, and how to cope with it. They usually leave with tools to handle the situation -- approaches we have developed together that will help relieve the pressure on them.

My approach is varied, because I am responding to each person's unique situation. I hear your story fully and help identify patterns that are coming up, which are clues to recovery – it can be hard to see these patterns on your own.  In practice, I draw upon different theories of counselling, depending on your needs.  I am practical and caring, and my clients tell me that I am warm, funny, thoughtful, resourceful, and effective.  Counselling is confidential.
