I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and a Registered Nurse with the College of Registered Nurses and have worked in the areas of physical and mental health for close to 20 years.

I work actively with individuals, couples, and groups where the work setting may be my office, home visits or a counselling retreat. Creative workshops are also available on request. The counselling retreat / workshops offer in-depth work in a very private and natural oceanfront setting in south Vancouver Island. A small cottage, two oceanfront suites and an art studio overlook spectacular views of the ocean.

The focus of therapy is on partnering with each individual to seek relief from emotional pain; to enhance better understanding of one’s life and how it is being lived; and to embrace positive and lasting behavioural changes towards living life to the fullest.

I include creative therapies with talk therapy to assist you in reaching your fullest potential for understanding, and self-awareness. Talk therapy alone can sometimes inhibit full expression of pain, suffering, and desires, whereas our creative process of Art Therapy can reveal to us our deeper thoughts and feelings.
