Child, Youth, Adult & Couples Counselling in Nanaimo
Life can feel overwhelming when you or someone you love is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional stress, or major life transitions. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, your teenager, or your relationship, counselling can provide a safe space to gain clarity, develop new coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with a Master of Counselling degree and more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals facing emotional, mental health, developmental, and life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, youth, adults, and families in both community and counselling settings.
My approach to counselling is warm, collaborative, and client-centred. I believe that healing and growth happen within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, respected, and understood. I strive to create an environment where you can speak openly about your experiences while working toward practical and lasting change.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR-informed trauma treatment. Therapy is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances. Together, we will explore what is contributing to your current struggles, identify your strengths, and develop strategies that support healing, resilience, and personal growth.
