Online and in-person counselling in British Columbia
Most people do not arrive in counselling with one neat problem.
They arrive with a life: history, relationships, coping, contradictions, grief, responsibility, and something that is no longer working.
We might need to get the distress down, understand where a pattern came from, or work out what needs to change next. Often, it is all three.
I am warm, direct, curious, and hard to shock. I listen carefully, ask questions, and help you make connections. There is room to work things through together, including the parts you are unsure how to say.

Counselling and therapy
What we might be working with.
Trauma, relationships, grief, work, and justice involvement can affect several parts of your life at once. These are some of the areas we can work with.
Trauma therapy and counselling
You may understand exactly what happened and still be dealing with what it left behind. We can work with the reactions, beliefs, relationships, and ways of protecting yourself that no longer fit the life you are trying to live.

You may be having the same fight in different forms, living around something neither of you knows how to raise, dealing with damaged trust, or trying to decide whether the relationship can and should continue.

The work can change what you notice, what you carry, and what feels safe to say. Privacy, career concerns, identity, relationships, anger, sleep, critical incidents, and cumulative exposure can all be part of the room.

Grief is not always clean, uncomplicated, or limited to missing someone. You may be carrying guilt, anger, relief, resentment, unfinished business, or a loss other people do not recognise. We can make room for the relationship and the loss as they actually were.
Read about grief counselling →Justice-involved counselling
I work with people who have experienced harm, people who have caused it, and those navigating justice involvement or reintegration. There is room for responsibility, relationships, identity, and the life around what happened.
