Accepting new clients. Available for in-person sessions in Nanaimo or virtual sessions anywhere in BC. - After over 12 years working as a counsellor within government and non-profit organizations, I have decided to open my own practice. In my years of working with people, I have come to strongly believe that people and their problems make sense. I can help you understand your struggles, your emotions, and yourself. I aim to understand you holistically, including your complex life. I strive to listen deeply, to be genuine, and to really see you.
You’re probably here because you’re struggling in some way. Maybe you find you’ve lost your way or feel stuck. Perhaps you’re hurting emotionally. Or you feel alone and like no one understands you. It could be all of that and more. Life can be so messy and hard. Counselling can help. There is hope. You may be struggling, but you are not broken.
I fundamentally believe we are all doing our best with what we’ve got right now. And sometimes we need extra support from someone, like a counsellor. I would love to help you find relief, connect with what matters to you, and experience greater fulfillment in your life. With warmth, compassion, and curiosity, I will walk with you on this journey of change.
