Practice Information

Relationships shape our lives in profound ways. When they become strained, the impact can be felt everywhere. My work focuses on helping couples and individuals understand the deeper patterns that influence their lives, so that real and lasting change becomes possible.

I am a registered psychotherapist with extensive experience in relational and depth-oriented work. For over twenty years I have supported clients through relationship challenges, emotional pain, life transitions, and the long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and attentive to the underlying movements of the psyche—not only the symptoms at the surface.

For couples, I offer a clear, steady structure that helps partners navigate conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connection. For individuals, I work with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relational wounds, and the patterns that repeat across life experiences.

I also offer Intensive Couples Therapy, a focused and highly structured format for couples seeking deeper, concentrated work. These Intensives are available in person and online for those with busy schedules, children at home, or who are travelling from out of town.

Good therapy depends on a strong therapeutic relationship. If you’re considering starting, I’m happy to discuss your situation and help you determine what kind of support would be most helpful for you.

I offer in-person sessions in Nanaimo, as well as secure video and telephone counselling for clients across B.C. Intensive Couples Therapy is available both in-person and online for clients from out of town or with limited availability.
