Find a Therapist in Saanich, British Columbia.

Who are you? Why did you do that? What affect did that have on you? How would you like to do that differently? Together we'll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and gain some insight in order to increase your sense of well-being, improve your relationships, and achieve higher levels of functioning. We will pay close attention to the information your body gives us, and work at regulating the intense emotion through somatic awareness, inquiry, interventions, and reflections.

Psychotherapy can be effective and greatly beneficial for couples, individuals and families. We strive to create a safe and understanding environment where we work in a collaborative manor based on your goals and needs. We will work with a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs providing optimal results. Through psychotherapy you can begin to see yourself and your world through a non partial and neutral lens. Through the clarity and acceptance of your authentic self we will work to build your tools for ongoing personal growth and success, independent of counselling.

Clients who receive psychotherapy from me will learn about the root of their issues and how to heal these wounds. Many issues we face in life are deep rooted in our childhood or resulting from traumas we have survived and need to be addressed to be truly free and achieve peace and serenity. I will help you learn to live a vital, rich meaningful life and overcome any mental health issues.

I am honoured that you are interested in my services and I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I have been described as slightly non-conventional in the counselling world, which suits me perfectly, and also tends to suit youth who are trying to stand up to the force of the problems in their life. I am very comfortable working with this population, and I feel fortunate that I can connect with teens the way I do, conventionally or in a way that makes sense to them.

I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns affecting their wellbeing. My holistic, body-based approach helps clients connect with their emotions, gain insight into past experiences and relationships, and uncover what brings them meaning and fulfillment. I integrate faith-affirming support when relevant, allowing clients to explore spiritual questions as part of healing. Clients benefit from increased self-awareness, practical coping strategies, and the development of resilience, emotional regulation, and more fulfilling, authentic lives.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe healing begins in a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Drawing from evidence-based modalities like EMDR, IFS, CBT, and somatic techniques, we’ll explore the roots of your challenges while building practical skills for change. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship issues, my goal is to empower you with self-awareness, resilience, and lasting growth. Together, we’ll uncover strengths, process past wounds, and create a meaningful path forward—helping you live with greater clarity, connection, and purpose.

In psychotherapy, the foundation of our work is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and collaboration. You bring deep knowledge of yourself and your situation; I bring clinical skills and an outside perspective. Together, we create meaningful change. Our approach balances structure and flexibility—focused enough to work toward your goals, yet open to whatever thoughts and feelings arise each session. This allows therapy to feel natural and responsive to your actual experience rather than following a rigid formula. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck, you'll find a collaborative partnership where you're genuinely heard as we work toward the changes you need in your life.
