I am a compassionate and dedicated Registered Clinical Counsellor committed to empowering individuals on their journey towards mental well being. A significant health challenge in my twenties fueled my passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based framework that emphasizes acceptance of one’s thoughts and emotions while committing to actions aligned with personal values. I work with youth (ages 12+) and adults facing anxiety, depression, stress & burnout, grief, life transitions, chronic pain, relationship challenges, & ADHD.

Hello, my name is Ava and I provide counselling support for children, youth and women. I have had the privilege of working with clients who grapple with emotional difficulties rooted in familial dynamics and postpartum depression. I have a deep conviction in the power of transformation and that we all can overcome our issues with guidance, and self-love. The initial step of asking for support can be a challenging one, especially when experiencing depression, and anxiety. I, therefore, extend a warm ‘Hello’ to all those struggling to take that first step. I look forward to embarking on a healing journey with you.

How well do we know ourselves and our ability to cope with life's challenges? This is a question I have assisted many people answer. My focus is to help people see their intrinsic strengths and deal with challenges in an empowered way. Having worked in the counseling field for over 30 years, has allowed me to gain a unique perspective on human resiliency. I work with individuals and couples in areas such as stress related issues, depression/anxiety, grief/loss, post-traumatic stress, career direction and cross cultural counseling.

Do you feel like your mental health gets in the way of connecting with who you feel you ought to be? Do you have a desire to have deeper, more authentic relationships? There are many reasons we might feel disconnected from our selves or the world around us. Through gentle, playful direction we can navigate your felt-sense of disconnection and associated feelings like: anxiety, depression, and loneliness. We then begin addressing and taking care of what keeps us disconnected such as: shame, guilt or past relational traumas. People often find an increased sense of self-compassion, authenticity, and empowerment from our work together.

If you are struggling to find meaning in life, wanting to find your passion and purpose, and take steps toward being your best self in many or all areas of your life, I am happy to help! Sometimes significantly challenging circumstances occur that lead us to question what we are doing and what do we actually want. While this can be painful and disorienting, it is a useful process to go through, and can be easier with a guide who understands. Grief, loss, anxiety and depression are at an all-time high, and many people either do not have access to their regular coping strategies, or those strategies no longer work.

My approach is gentle and authentic, with a focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am passionate about helping both adults and children with many issues, including; anxiety, allergy-related anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, self-esteem, school issues and parenting skills.

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor, with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association. I bring 14 years + of experience in the field of mental health. Through the lens of compassion & unconditional positive regard I support individuals to uncover old coping strategies, reveal core beliefs, release trauma/ suppressed emotions that hold one back from stepping into truth, finding joy, fulfillment and clarity. Also creating a deep connection to self, allowing for a deeper connection in all relationships. Our intimate relationships are where we have the opportunity to be witnessed, accepted, loved, & love in return.

Welcome! I am a registered clinical counsellor providing services in the province of British Columbia. In my practice, I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are on your journey. I understand that each individual's path is unique, and I value the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself. Together we will identify your goals and build a path that leads you toward a life that resonates with your authentic self. We will recognize what is already working in your life and what is getting in your way of where you wish to be.

Mid-life is a natural period of transition, yet it often brings challenges. Many people find themselves feeling stuck, asking, “What now?” Having personally experienced this journey, I can assist you in navigating the simultaneous transitions of mid-life, such as evolving relationships, empty nesting, career changes, caring for aging parents, and divorce. My approach is collaborative and supportive, making space to explore where to go from here.

Traumatic life events come in many forms. People feel powerless and groundless; often experiencing life on autopilot. If you experienced a traumatic event as a child or the care you received involved toxic amounts of stress, abuse or neglect, a variety of attachment wounds can interfere with your present-day relationships, parenting abilities, and general well-being. Experiencing loss, rejection, abandonment, abuse or neglect disrupts development and changes our focus to survival. There is no timeline for healing from trauma, but it is possible to recover and create the life you desire.

For nearly a decade I have been providing counselling services to individuals and groups in private, not-for-profit, and clinical settings in Alberta and British Columbia. I am located in the Greater Victoria area, and enjoy providing a wide range of mental wellness support for those experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, pain, chronic illness, grief, and more. I focus on client’s positive qualities and their strengths to assist them in generating effective solutions for issues they may be facing, facilitating positive growth through a relationship-driven integrative approach.
