EMDR Therapists in Victoria, BC
I approach therapy as a creative and collaborative process that involves the whole being of both the therapist and client. In order to lead fulfilling, joyful lives, humans need access to the intelligence available through their physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual selves. Trauma, shame, and fear can disrupt our ability to access and experience these aspects of self fully, and can leave us feeling dissatisfied with our lives. By working directly with clients' felt sense of their bodies, as well as their stories and their feelings, I support clients in deepening their relationship to all aspects of themselves.

Welcome! I know that just when we think things are going right, something happens to shift everything off balance. Even at the best of times, we are dealing with all kinds of stress (ex. money, family, work). This is why I got into counselling; because I truly believe that with 1:1 support you are provided a whole new avenue to explore those feelings, emotions, behaviours, and find practical tools to experience relief. While I counsel adults and couples, I also really enjoying counselling children and youth. I'm accepting new clients, so please reach out!

Accepting new clients. Are you experiencing anxiety, and/or depression? Life can be challenging, it can get messy and complicated leaving us feeling vulnerable, confused, and disconnected, our self-esteem suffers and our happiness and well-being become elusive. Life then just becomes one big struggle. With empathy and respect, I work from a trauma-informed, person-centered perspective. This means I recognize that you are the expert on your own experiences and worldview and understand that you just need support and guidance to figure it out.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

Having an addicted person in your life can feel like a nightmare and tear your family apart. In order for addiction to have a chance of healing, we must first address the dynamics of the addict's relationships with their loved ones. Many loved ones unwittingly enable the addiction to continue, sometimes because they want to avoid confrontation and conflict. As the enabling continues, the addiction continues as well-and becomes progressively worse. It is important to understand that enabling an addict is never a loving act-and only leads to more severe consequences as time goes on.
