Services
My approach:
I centre my work around the therapeutic relationship created in session, and believe that through connection and trust, every individual can show up to counselling feeling safe, comfortable, and supported. I do my very best to meet you where you’re at in your journey, and walk alongside you to achieve your goals for growth and development.
Practicing from a trauma-informed lens, I ensure to provide a safe space for all. I provide strengths based and client-centred treatment, implementing a range of complimentary approaches, which are individualized for each client. I also offer trauma-informed yoga practices, which include gentle movement, mindfulness skills and deep breathing for building safety and presence. Our work is for you, and so I openly encourage input and feedback on treatment direction, goals, and outcomes.

Virtual Counselling:
I am offering virtual counselling services through Janeapp. Some of the benefits of virtual therapy:
-
Virtual counselling is safe and confidential!
-
Virtual counselling provides the same opportunity for effective therapeutic work as in person counselling. With the Janeapp video calling technology, we can develop a strong therapeutic relationship and I am able to integrate all relevant counselling materials and worksheets as I would should we be in the same office.
-
Virtual counselling is highly accessible! As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I am able to provide counselling services all over the BC province and even nationwide (some exceptions apply).
-
Last but not least, the convenience! You are now able to access therapy from your living room, with your favourite blanket and your favourite snack. No travel time required!
-
As a 200 hour yoga teacher, I have the training and skills to integrate gentle yoga practices into our virtual therapy room. Therapy can activate our bodies a lot, and so bringing some mindful movement and breath-work into the session can provide comfort and safety. Working one-on-one, I am able to tailor a yoga practice to your needs (both mental and physical). Quiet down the mind and the body with yoga practices integrated into our counselling work.
Couples Counselling
I am trained in Emotionally-Focussed Couples Counselling. I will work with you to supportively identify challenges in the relationship and develop tools and skills to reconnect with your partner. I graciously work with couples from all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. I also welcome couples practicing ethical non-monogamy.
