I am here for you and will hold every aspect of you and your journey with tenderness and dignity. I offer counselling from an attachment perspective that is emotion focused and body-based. My education, research, and practice have focused on understanding deeply and responding compassionately while supporting resilience in those who have experienced trauma and relationship ruptures. This includes my being a Level Three Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy practitioner (AEDP).

As a member of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, I have met rigorous academic requirements, am committed to high professional standards of practice, and adhere to the BCACC code of ethical conduct.
I am registered as a service provider with FNHA and the BC Crime Victims Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance for individuals (and their families) who have been victims of a violent crime including physical and sexual abuse.
When I am not engaged with this work, you will find me in my sanctuary, the forest. I love to hike the forests, mountains, and ocean trails with Atlas, my adopted miniature poodle/co-therapist; tend my permaculture food forest; restore the forest on the land where I live; split wood; do yin yoga; listen to music that moves my soul; dance; and share time with friends and family.

My work is about connection and emotional release. What you feel and need matters to me. Together, we will explore what matters most to you, your unique strengths, and help release your pain. I want to help you find more peace, freedom and connection. My work is somatic, emotion focused, and relational. I practice AEDP and Hakomi therapy. Let’s do something real (experiential) in the moment (here & now) together (relational).
I work with individuals and dyads. ‘Dyad work’ means that I work with family members in pairs, close friends in pairs, or partners in pairs. I am experienced in working with 2SLGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent folks, trauma (CPTSD), big feelings, OCD, and attachment wounds. I believe that communities were made to heal together, we evolved as herd animals!
I love to dance, sing and swim in the Gorge. I have a loving community of friends, chosen family, and my partner who have all been a part of my healing journey. I’ve also had and continue to have life changing therapy as a client. I am a queer, bigender, white settler living on lək̓ʷəŋən territory (Victoria, B.C.). I am working out of downtown Victoria and am happy to work in person or over video.
I am a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I have an MA in Counselling Psychology and a BA in Child & Youth Care. I am in the midst of my 2nd level of AEDP training. I am registered with FNHA and Pacific Blue Cross.
