As a Registered Counsellor, my commitment is to walk alongside of you to discover healthy and wholehearted self-understanding, relationships and living. I draw from various Counselling styles and approach our times together with respect for your unique journey, committing to listening deeply and maintaining open and safe communication between us. I believe in a strengths-based perspective, acknowledging and becoming increasingly informed on neuro-and-other diversity and the inherent value and wisdom found within our stories.

I draw from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Self-Compassion Mindfulness. These and other approaches are adapted to be both Neurodivergent and neurotypical-friendly.

Assessment Support
Using PsychoEducational Counselling expertise, I support both adults and parents of children who are going through the Diagnostic Process for Neurodevelopmental and Educational assessments. I help with understanding the process of accurate diagnoses and how the results relate to daily life. Resource and team building, self-care and processing post-diagnostically are important elements for developing accurate language and healthy and helpful understanding and strategies.
Funding
I intentionally keep costs low to minimize barriers to mental health support. $110/hour can be charged to (BC) Autism Funding, most Extended Benefits Providers, some Special Education budgets through Online Schools, and of course, through private pay. If finances are a challenge please take time to discuss possible arrangements.
