1:1 COUNSELLING

rediscover wholeness | create meaningful change | cultivate resilience

Counselling with me:

I believe healing involves rediscovering your inherent wholeness and restoring inner balance by reconnecting with parts of yourself that need care and nurturing.  In our work together, I honour your innate capacity for healing, growth, and change – seeing you as whole and resourceful even amid pain.

My role is to walk alongside you as you navigate emotions and patterns in thinking and being — creating space for clarity, self-awareness, and meaningful transformation.

My counselling approach is holistic, heart-centred, trauma-informed, and collaborative. As a nurse psychotherapist, my work is influenced by Watson’s Theory of Human Caring, which integrates scientific knowledge with deep humanistic and interpersonal interactions. My style is gentle, yet direct –  blending knowledge with intuitive presence. I primarily use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) alongside other therapeutic modalities, including:

    • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma
    • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills
    • Expressive Arts
    • Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed
    • Nature-based therapy
    • Positive psychology
    • Posttraumtic Growth 
    • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
    • Somatic practices

Who I work with:

Adults (19+) virtually across Canada, or in-person on Vancouver Island. I’m especially passionate about guiding  women as they reconnect with themselves while navigating:

  • Grief, loss, and bereavement
  • Chronic health issues and life-changing diagnosis
  • Caregiver or workplace-related exhaustion and burnout
  • Trauma recovery
  • Major life transitions
  • Relationship challenges
  • Substance addiction recovery 

Credentials and insurance:

I am a Certified Nurse Psychotherapist (CNP), registration number: 10296.
If you have extended health benefits, please check with your provider to confirm if they cover counselling with a nurse psychotherapist – I can assist with this if need be. 

As a nurse psychotherapist I’m a practicing Registered Nurse, licensed with the BCCMN and have completed additional education with the Canadian Nurse Psychotherapy Association.
