Counselling in Qualicum Beach, BC. Find the Right Therapist.

I am an adult/child/youth and family therapist and clinical consultant in private practice with 40 years experience. I founded the Centre For Expressive Therapy to provide counselling and psychotherapy based on my approach to healing, Holistic Expressive Therapy.

I'm a down-to-earth, client-centered counsellor that can bring new hope to you and new life to your relationships. I'm here and ready to listen with warmth, kindness and compassion, without any judgement or criticism.

I specialize in making sense of the relationships, traits, and experiences that shape who you are today. Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR, I offer tailored support to help you break free from unhelpful patterns.

I love getting to know new people and listening to their stories whatever they may be feeling. In this space is the opportunity to connect. I work hard to know my clients and offer skills that truly help to find relief and change no matter how stuck things may seem.

Fortitude is defined as finding the strength of mind; enabling a person to encounter adversity with courage. My comfortable approach combined with solution focussed techniques help to promote a path to wellness that clients can be active participants in.

I am a Registered Psychologist (R.Psych.) and work with adults across BC who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, worry/rumination, depression, anger, and stress. My goal is to help clients develop skills that will improve the quality of their lives.

Are you struggling with mental health challenges and looking for a safe, effective, and compassionate way to heal and transform your life? Take the first step on your journey towards happiness and wellness and schedule your first appointment.

I truly believe treatment is a partnership between counsellor and client and will work with you to design an effective plan that recognizes your unique strengths and challenges. I use warmth, humour, and authenticity in my approach to make each client feel comfortable.
