Working in private practice since 2009, in Victoria and recently
on Salt Spring Island, I offer counselling from an attachment
perspective that is emotion focused and body-based. My
education, research, and practice have focused
understanding deeply and responding compassionately while
supporting resilience in those who have experienced trauma
and relationship ruptures. When I facilitate circles, I lean on my
advanced AEDP training, in-depth group facilitation training,
attunement, somatic resonance, intuition and curiosity to
offer questions, prompts, or reflection to deepen your process
and connection to yourself and others.
When I am not engaged with my work, you will find me in my
sanctuary, the forest. I love to hike the forests, mountains, and
ocean trails with Atlas, my adopted miniature poodle/co-
therapist; tend my permaculture food forest; restore the forest
on the land where I live; split wood; do yin yoga; listen to music
that moves my soul; dance; and share time with friends and
family.
As I hold space for you, I will receive every aspect of you and
your journey with authenticity, warmth, empathy, and dignity.
