COUNSELLING
Let's do something real, in the moment, together.
EXPERIENTIAL
AUTHENTIC
HERE&NOW
RELATIONAL
WHAT I DO
We are born into a world that fears emotion. This means that most of us learn to fear our feelings, or at least certain ones. This work helps folks remove the shame we learned to feel about our stress, anger, sadness and even joy so you can be free to feel. I am working to wake us up from distraction. I want to bring you into the the here and now where what you feel and need matters to me. By returning to connection and expression we can find freedom from long lasting painful feeling. This work tends to be deep feeling or even spiritual as we reconnect to the ways we were meant to care for one another. Relationship is where we heal therefore; I encourage folks to bring their friends, a partner(s), or family members into a session to practice this connected and caring way of being with each other. I believe we can all get free of emotional repression and find the connection and acceptance we were meant to experience by doing this together. This way of being seen and accepted leads us to a powerful feeling of personal power, capacity, and hope. I am very interested in your feedback about this work and welcome your own personal & cultural wisdom to be a part of this experience. Healing happens in relationship, not in isolation.
Dyad Counselling . Friends, Siblings, Couples
I feel so engaged and enlivened by the healing work that people do with their community. While facing your loved one I will help you to notice the moments of hurt and lean in to provide effective care for one another. We will practice putting down judgment and analysis and practice a culture of care. Leaning into your gifts and strengths together and as individuals we will use those to move you closer and into more safety. I want to help you find one another and peace again.
Individual Counselling
I feel a deep peace as individuals experience true acceptance and start to give that to themselves. I have a strange comfort with intensity, anger and sadness. I want to help you learn to be with you and feel at peace with that being. Building a safe relationship together we can then explore painful and beautiful experiences that lead to transformation in your self and in your connections with community.

Accessibility
To work to bridge the gap in the ways that oppression harms many groups financially I offer free counselling to one client biweekly who is diabled, bipoc, and/or LGBTQ and in financial need, this slot is currently full and will be for at least a year (April, 2025). I also offer 15 sliding scale spots, which are also currently full (July 3, 2025). I am covered by many insurance companies including Blue Cross. I am in the process of completing membership with FNHA.
* Because of community crossover I do not work with polyamorous people who live in Lekwungen, W̱SÁNEĆ or T'Sou-ke Territory (Greater Victoria, BC)
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
When you enter my office I will ask you 'What's been feeling important?' or 'What are you noticing as you land here?' (feelings, sensations, images, thoughts, instincts). People I work with often exclaim how deep and present the therapy is from the start. I want to hear about what is what is real for you right now. To prepare for your session ask yourself "What do I feel, need, and want?". I want you to learn to ride the waves of every emotion so that you can experience the relief that your nervous system craves. Our nervous system knows how to navigate feelings of all kinds. Trauma in our culture, families, school, and workplaces prevent this natural flow. I want to reconnect you to that innate healing instinct which then frees you to be your 'core' self who knows very well what is next and needs to be done.
