I help people regain control of their relationships and their lives. If you feel burdened by something that happened in the past, or if your current relationship is not supportive, I can help you clarify your feelings and decide on the best plan for you. Often, our decisions are clouded by emotions such as guilt, shame, anxiety, worries, sadness, and hidden anger. Once we uncover what's really going on and help you connect with your authentic self, the heaviness will lift and you will naturally know what to do. You don't have to navigate this alone and I am here to help! Check out my google review on True Presence Counselling

For more than 30 years I have counselled people having problems with depression, anxiety and life adjustment, and as well, those wanting to grow personally. I identify with the Humanistic/Positive Psychology approach and am primarily a Rogerian by practice - utilising active listening and communicating back of understanding. Not only is this very affirming and helps people find relief from their problems and concerns, but they come to more fully understand their assumptive world, achieve greater self-understanding and acceptance and a desire to develop constructive and fruitful changes in their outlook and behaviour.

I acknowledge and admire the courage it takes to seek out a counsellor to work through life's challenges. I strive to create a strong, client centered connection, based on openness, honesty, daring and respect. My counselling style is collaborative, and focuses on increasing self-awareness, highlighting personal strengths, honouring one's own insights, and removing the obstacles standing in the way of growth and development. My experience as a counsellor has taught me that in the midst of personal dissatisfaction, individuals often engage in counter-productive, even destructive thoughts and behaviors.

I specialize in anxiety and self esteem issues. Anxiety can cause you to feel tense or "wound up", or frequently worried that something bad is going to happen. You may experience uncomfortable physical symptoms like chest tightness, heart bounding, shaking, or dizziness. You may be feeling anxious about being anxious. Maybe you worry a lot about what others think of you, and worry that you don't measure up. These feelings can leave you feeling overwhelmed, irritable, exhausted, and isolated. You want to relax, feel more confident, and enjoy your life, but something keeps getting in the way, and old patterns keep repeating.

Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs), in our tender years, whether they were caused by abuse, neglect or chronic parental mis-attunement are not only impediments to thriving in one's life, they increase the risk of serious physical disease in later life. Whatever hurts inside is simply asking to be known and loved. I believe that the difficulties and traumas of life need never define us as human beings. Rather, I believe that when safety, skillful caring and authentic connection are finally available for us, these very traumas can become the doors through which we discover our own unique gifts, talents and power as individuals.

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.

Now accepting clients at NeurAlive’s new location in Langford as well as virtually via phone or video.
