Counselling

A Holistic Approach

aligning to safe self-love
& building resilience

I aim to make therapy a space where you feel heard, valued, respected and sincerely cared for. You deserve a space that holds you in your healing and allows you to unfurl the layers of your stories, emotions, thoughts and beliefs in the timing you feel is best for you.

I specialize working with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, and spiritual/religious/cult trauma.

The after-effects of trauma can show up differently for everyone, but some examples might include:

  • fear of failure

  • shame

  • hypervigilance or anxiety

  • freeze response or numbness

  • difficulty setting boundaries

  • overwhelming intrusive thoughts

  • negative internal dialogue

  • dysregulating flashbacks

  • panic attacks

  • self-sabotage

  • feeling unworthy

  • nightmares or sleep disruptions

My vibe as a therapist

I want to prioritize your safety. And to me, safety means empathy, open-mindedness, compassionate curiosity, respect and informed consent. I will not force things, I will not have a personal agenda and I prefer to empower you to come to your own insights instead of telling you what your truth is. Your voice and authentic expression are valued.

The lenses of my therapy practice are holistic, integrative, creative and trauma informed.

Types of Sessions:

  • Online Counselling

    Available Monday through Friday. Open to all Canadian residents.

    Online counselling sessions are conducted via Janeapp’s telehealth video platform. This platform is safely encrypted, and a link to the video call will be sent to you 30min prior to your appointment’s start time.

  • Eco Therapy

    Available Mondays and Fridays. Located in Beacon Hill Park, Victoria BC.

    Eco-therapy focuses on strengthening the connection between you and the natural world. It integrates nature-based activities and experiences into therapeutic practices to promote holistic well-being. This may look like going for a walk, or sitting down on a bench or the ground. In our sessions, we may also incorporate the elements to enhance the therapeutic experience (grounding techniques; connection with trees, plants, flowers and animals; making art with pinecones and rocks; etc!)

  • In Office Counselling

    These in person sessions are available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at an office space at the Fernwood Hub (1310 Gladstone Ave, Victoria BC).

    Amenities: filtered water, tea, fidget toys, washroom on site

    The building is wheelchair accessible, however the office is on the smaller side and may not fit a wheelchair easily. Please let staff know ahead of time if you need wheelchair accessibility so they can adjust the office furniture to support this ahead of time.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
