Life gets hard sometimes. Our minds get stuck in old stuff or start bracing for issues to come. We feel alone and/or overwhelmed in the midst of what we face each day.

I want you to know there is hope. Life can be worth living and sharing. I offer a genuine, relatable, and understanding attitude for you to connect with.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) (#6260) I have worked for over 10 years with people feeling stuck in issues of mental health, chronic illness, chronic pain, difficulties in relationships, and other stressful experiences.

As your struggles and what you seek are unique, I use evidence-based and process-focused approaches for adults of all ages. This means honouring your individuality, bringing in techniques which best help you move creatively towards more integrated living with your values and connections.

Approaches I use more often include Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy, and Relational Frame Theory. I am also trained in EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, meaninglessness, or something unique to you, I would be honoured to be with you in the healing process.

I am a Registered Psychologist (#2207) offering adult individual psychology services in Victoria, B.C.

I completed my Master’s in Counselling with City University of Seattle and, prior to this, earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology at the University of Alberta.

In 2019, I founded Fairfield Psychology to provide community-based mental health and wellness services in Victoria.
