Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body tension, confusion, grief, loss, anger management or relationship difficulties?

Or are you struggling with post-traumatic symptoms such as irritability, hypervigilance, flashbacks, insomnia due to recent or past traumas?

Or are you wanting to dissolve blocks so you can enhance your performance and expand your creativity in writing, art making, dancing, acting, music making or in your work as a teacher, manager or executive?

If you resonate with any of these concerns my counselling services may help you. Counselling can help you contact your inner resources and strengths, resolve trauma, increase self confidence, clarify decisions, help build healthy relationships, and enhance creativity and performance. It helps to integrate the physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of your being and to help you move beyond self limiting beliefs.

My work includes the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a technique to help resolve traumatic or overwhelming events in our lives as children or adults. It can also be used very effectively to free up our creativity by lessening anxieties and limiting self beliefs so that we can enhance our performance in any area.

I also work with mindfulness in sessions and in the past, have offered an eight week mindfulness course (MBSR) based on the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. Research has shown mindfulness to be extremely beneficial for our physical and mental health.

I have been trained in psilocybin assisted psychotherapy (2021) by the Canadian non-profit organization Therapsil, which advocates and helps people get Section 56 exemptions from Health Canada for legal use of psilocybin in therapy for end of life, terminal illness and some mental health conditions. As well I offer integration sessions for folks who may need help understanding a plant medicine journey undertaken in non-legal situations.

Please feel free to read more about what I offer on the following pages and to contact me at 250-386-7805 for a free 10 minute consultation to see whether my counselling services are a fit for you. If you decide to keep searching, I wish you the best.
