I provide comprehensive in-person counselling in Victoria B.C. and remote counselling services throughout B.C. for couples, families, and individuals.
Individual
Individual counselling is an opportunity to build up your inner resources to face the inevitable storms of life. We will take a close look at how you act, what you think and feel, what you sense in your body and how these different parts of you work together, increasing resilience, healing and growth in your life.
I work individually with clients aged 12+
Family
Family relationships can be complicated, especially during times of change, conflict, or stress. Family therapy provides a supportive space to improve communication, understand one another, work through conflict, and strengthen connection. Together, we can build healthier patterns and create a more connected family.
Couples
Couples counselling provides a place of safety and honesty to work on your most important relationship.
In couples counselling we will look at what patterns keep popping up in the relationship, how to build a deeper connection with each other, and how to work toward an intimate attached partnership that is based on friendship, trust, care, and love.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused therapy that can help reduce the emotional intensity of difficult or distressing experiences. It can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and experiences that continue to feel “stuck” long after they happened. EMDR helps your brain process these experiences in a way that can bring greater calm, clarity, and freedom to move forward.
Parenting
Parenting can be rewarding, challenging, and sometimes overwhelming. I offer support to help parents better understand their children, navigate challenging behaviours, strengthen connection, and feel more confident in their parenting. Together, we can explore practical strategies while also making space for the emotions and pressures that come with being a parent.
Pre-Marital
Premarital counselling increases marital satisfaction, improves communication, and facilitates conflict-resolution skills, which can contribute to healthier and more enduring marriages.
I am facilitator of “Prepare/Enrich” a pre-martial and marriage assessment.
