Counselling in Qualicum Beach, BC. Find the Right Therapist.

Fortitude is defined as finding the strength of mind; enabling a person to encounter adversity with courage. My comfortable approach combined with solution focussed techniques help to promote a path to wellness that clients can be active participants in.

I am an adult/child/youth and family therapist and clinical consultant in private practice with 40 years experience. I founded the Centre For Expressive Therapy to provide counselling and psychotherapy based on my approach to healing, Holistic Expressive Therapy.

Let's CHANGE it together! Change for most people is daunting and challenging. However, when most people feel that something is not right in their life they need change to make it better. I provide the specialty knowledge, empathy and safety for you to make that change.

I believe that everyone is worthy and deserving of inner happiness and loving relationships. I feel privileged to have facilitated many individuals, couples and families in overcoming negativity thoughts and behaviors, in a safe, compassionate and accepting atmosphere.

I believe healing begins when we’re given the time and safety to be honest. As a therapist, I create a structured and caring space for that honesty — a place to explore the stories, patterns, and wounds that shape how you live and love.

I am committed to empowering my clients, supporting you to grow in confidence and self-assurance.

If you're having a difficult time, I am passionate about helping you cope better and feel happier! Working together we become a team, of sorts, to determine a deeper understanding of your situation and create helpful solutions
