Areas of Specialty

I work with many different areas of one’s life for healing and wellness. Often in counselling we are exploring the impact of the past on our present, how it influences your current patterns of feeling, thinking and responding, how we manage our emotions and how we relate to ourselves and to others. Often it’s so difficult to “get over the past” because our past is intruding on our present.

I work with individuals (adult and youth) and couples of all backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and non-traditional couples, in the following areas:

 

Trauma, PTSD, Complex-PTSD, and Occupational Injury

Religious Trauma, Recovery, Deconstruction

Occupationally Aware Services for First Responders

Relationship Difficulties and Couples Counselling

Separation. Divorce, and Co-Parenting

Emotional Experience and Regulation

Intra-personal Healing and Self-compassion

Identifying and Healing from Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse

Understanding Personal, Relational, Family, Community Dynamics and Boundaries

Anxiety, Depression, and other DSM-V presenting disorders, as well as neurodiversity such as ADHD

 

I am grateful to the Lekwungen peoples on whose traditional territory I live, work, and play. My deepest respect to the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples who continue to tend and protect their ancestral and unceded land that colonization and associated attitudes, policies and institutions have significantly harmed.
