Working with the whole family, couples or individually, I offer counselling services in Victoria, BC, to adults and youth. Using a multi-theoretical approach, I attempt to understand you in your context to better match the counselling process with your needs and belief systems. Some of the theories that inform my practice include family systems, somatic, emotionally-focused, relational, solution oriented, response-based, and EMDR.
I believe all families and individuals experience difficulties periodically over the course of their lives and seeking counselling services can often be helpful. Additionally, I believe everyone has the capacity for wellness and counselling can help people create solutions and discover their internal/family resources to bring about resolution to presenting concerns.

Services
In the first few minutes of our initial appointment, we will go over an informed consent and brief intake form. After that, we will have the rest of the session to discuss what is bringing you in for counselling and what your goals are. It gives me an opportunity to get to know more about who you are and how I might best be helpful.
