Welcome to my page!
I am Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and Somatic Psychotherapist living and working in Nelson BC . I have been a body centred therapist for over 25 years and bring this caring and compassionate lens to my counselling work.
I am a passionate and inspired counsellor offering confidential and non judgmental support. My style of counselling is person centred, compassionate, trauma informed and affirming. I strive to create a space that inspires empathy, curiosity and joy as we explore, process and create more capacity for understanding and choice.
Wether we meet online or In Person I am committed to holding a safe and kind space for healing and learning occur.
My areas of support are Grief/Loss, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Women’s Issues, Compassion Fatigue, Addiction, LGBTQAI2+, Relationships Issues, and Trauma. I offer an inclusive space for all gender expressions , neurodivergent clients and those with other challenges or disabilities.
I have training as a Mindfulness Practitioner, Somatic Psychotherapy, CBT, Person-Centred Therapy, Attachment, Narrative Therapy and an ongoing interest in Buddhist Psychology and IFS.
Many benefits plans cover Registered Therapeutic Counsellors. You will need to check with your provider for details. I will be happy to assist you in this if needed.
At the beginning of therapy it is important that we build a therapeutic relationship and to understand what you are going through and offer a sense of support in rough times. This process needs continuity so I usually suggest weekly at first and then gradually space them out as you need. I am open to bi weekly also at the start which can be more affordable.
