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.

In the journey of grief, nurturing "continuing bonds" with departed loved ones holds profound significance, offering solace, comfort, and connection in their absence. If you've experienced profound loss (human or pet) and have been grieving for over a year, I offer a unique therapy intended to help reduce sadness and foster a deeper connection with your loved one. Understanding the importance of allowing your mind to adapt to grief's natural rhythm, is part of this process; so we typically wait a year or more post-loss before beginning therapy, honouring the organic flow of grief, and trusting in the brain's innate healing capacity.

I'm located on Lekwungen territory (Victoria, BC) and offer in-person, walk-and-talk, and online counselling to folks residing anywhere in BC.

Living in today's world is hard and complex. Psychotherapies have also evolved a lot in the past 10 years, and the timing is ripe to heal intergenerational trauma. My approach seeks to meet people where they are at and provide a deep understanding from which change can happen. I've been a therapist for 14 years and retrained in trauma therapies such as EMDR and Somatic Psychotherapy halfway through my career. I have a lot of trust in people's ability to heal and change, having witnessed these profound journeys many times.

You have a lot going on, time is something that you have no problem filling, in fact, slowing down & quieting your constantly moving brain can pose a challenge. Maybe you’re concerned about your child; you thought it was going to get better, but it hasn’t & now you worry it’s going to get worse. You need help. You want solutions – for yourself, your child/teen & your family. You’ve consulted family, friends, Oprah & your Instagram feed & you’ve run out of ideas. It’s time for a change.

Feeling at war with your body? It’s not your fault! You have likely grown up in an environment with harmful messaging around body size and weight. Seeking counselling can be an important and courageous step towards healing the wounds and mending the relationship between body, mind and spirit.

I focus my counselling work around helping folks with their relationship to their bodies, body image, food, eating, and movement. I take an anti-oppressive, Body Positive approach to my work, centering anti-diet culture and anti-racism.
