Registered Clinical Counsellor

& Professional Art Therapist

​

My goal as a counselling art therapist is to best understand and accept each client’s inner world to help them move towards healthier functioning. I practice from a place of compassion, non-judgment, curiosity, and respect, and strive to facilitate each client's innate capacity for positive growth and development. I hold that the relationship between therapist and client is the primary healing factor for individuals experiencing developmental, internal, and interpersonal challenges.

Self-expression within a safe, non-threatening and accepting environment facilitates clients' natural processes for enhancement. With guidance and practical tools to effect change, individuals improve their communication skills, address self-defeating beliefs and behaviours, and overcome obstacles to personal growth and fulfilment.

Combining person-centred therapy, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy (MCBT), and expressive art therapy, I provide a confidential, focused setting to help individuals strive towards meaningful, lasting change. Whether coping with issues of disordered eating, body image, self-esteem, intimacy, communication, life transitions, or work-related stress, I offer a tailored approach to exploring and resolving issues according to the individual or couple’s goals and needs.

Clinical specializations include disordered eating, mood disorders  (depression, anxiety), addiction, trauma, childhood sexual abuse, interpersonal relationships.

​

I respectfully acknowledge the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEC people on whose territories I work and live.
