Sitting with you provides a reference point that we can orient from together to get back on the map or draw a new one. As a professional helper, I know that you are the expert of you. I am a co-pilot/team member for your wellness journey. 

There is no one-size-fits-all practice approach; therefore, I adapt to your unique needs for therapy. I use an assimilative integrative practice. This means that although I practice from a humanistic, and two-eyed seeing (Indigenous & western-European) lens, I use techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT, EFFT, art, narrative, and mindfulness modalities. I operate with a plan for service, that you and I assess for effectiveness for the duration of therapy: from one session to long term work. I work for you!

My theory of change is that problems develop when we are not living according to our values and we become disconnected from our plot. The change we are seeking happens inside first, sometimes barely detectable as a sense of unease & imbalance, and sometimes loudly with our emotions and body in turmoil. This happens to all of us – either very slowly as we drift, or suddenly & beyond our control. Whichever way the problem shows up, there is also opportunity riding shotgun.

I will check in with you from time to time about your experience of therapy and progress towards your goals. This feedback helps me adapt my practice, and is an evidence-based approach to identify what’s working, spot challenges, problem solve together so that I meet your needs. I tailor my services uniquely to YOU. This is considered individual evidence-based practice, and is what I rely on most for evaluating my effectiveness as your counsellor.

I am offering online individual counselling for adults (age 18+) with light to moderate challenges (I don’t provide crisis or trauma counselling). You must be located in Canada from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, Newfoundland
