Therapists in Langford, BC

I can help. Counselling can help you feel more effective, give you insight, help you meet challenges and live more richly, improve your relationships, and give you self-confidence. I help many clients with challenges ranging from depression, anxiety and stress, relationship concerns, boundaries, communication, anger, self-esteem, obesity and eating concerns, perfectionism, life transitions, grief, abortion grief, internet addictions, intimacy concerns, prenatal loss, healthcare concerns, and creativity. My clients say I am warm, funny, thoughtful, and effective. Counselling is confidential.

I am a registered clinical counsellor with the BCACC. I specialize in counselling men in Victoria, B.C. Anxiety and Depression can drag many people down and paralyze them under the weight of sadness and worry. I work with you to find a leverage point from which you might release the pressure enough to gain perspective and move toward a better way of living. I am trained in Narrative Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Trauma therapy. It takes a lot of courage to begin counselling and I consider it a privilege to meet with clients when they recognize that it is time to talk about the struggles that they are experiencing.

Do you wake up in the morning and your anxiety starts to creep in? Do you feel like you have tried everything and you’re losing hope? Are you often triggered emotionally and feel as though you lose control? Do you struggle within your close relationships and wonder “how did I get here?” My approach to therapy is always rooted in compassion and genuine curiosity. I have a mindful and gentle presence, which guides my considerate sensitivity and attunement to each of my clients. Together we can cultivate unique goals and illuminate your wellness path through exploring, connecting, healing, and harnessing strengths.

Currently accepting new clients! Are you searching for warm, empathetic support? In my practice, I create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe that each person is the expert of their own life and has the capacity for positive change. Challenges I often work with include anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and trauma. While I work with variety of concerns, I am particularly passionate about working with adults who are navigating the impacts of childhood trauma.

Children, youth and young adults, who are dealing with past or present trauma with symptoms that include anxiety, depression, sleep problems, disorder eating, aggression or mood swings.

Our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health are deeply connected. Building and maintaining health and well-being requires an understanding of these connections and the ways that your personal history, relationships, environment, and communities play important roles. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or any challenging life circumstances, exploration into the underlying sources as well as present-focused tools to manage these difficulties can help on the path to healing and greater vitality.

Is addiction is complicating your life? And your busy career, family and lifestyle won’t give you time to get better? We will help you to regain control of your chaos, reset your roadmap and get you back on track. We can also help when your life is affected by someone else’s addiction. We are evidence-based, confidential and effective.

Childhood and adult experiences can impact the way we manage life. At times it can affect our connection with others, our ability to feel happy and our mental health. Reaching out for help can be a first step in recovering our sense of self, building health coping tools and feeling connected to our lives. Though counselling change is possible.

Sometimes therapy feels scary and intimidating, I am here to be with you and provide a safe and comfortable place to share your stories. My approach is genuine and you'll find me an easy person to talk to. Working together in a professional relationship will help you free you from emotional pain and able to deal with life and discover meaning and purpose in relationships, family, friendships, and spirituality.

Now accepting clients at NeurAlive’s new location in Langford as well as virtually via phone or video. It can be challenging to determine who to confide in & where to begin, especially when it comes to the sensitive matters that bring people to therapy. Feeling heard, understood, accepted and respected is foundational for developing trust and inspiring meaningful change. With genuine curiosity, open-mindedness and empathic understanding, it is my intention for clients to feel safe & supported in our work together. I enjoy working collaboratively with people from all walks of life and have experience addressing an array of concerns.

Every person has inherent strengths, abilities, and knowledge; however, when life gets challenging, we could all use a non-judgmental guide to partner with, to find goal-oriented solutions. I have extensive experience helping adults who are struggling with heartbreak (separation/divorce), lower mood, feeling anxious and/or using substances more than they would like, combined with a passion for working with neurodiversity and people with disabilities or life changing diagnoses. I value working with those who served in the military or emergency services including police, fire, and ambulance.
