About Me

Hello

Originally from England, I trained as a middle school science teacher before discovering my true passion for supporting mental, emotional, and social well-being. This shift led me to focus on helping people navigate their inner worlds.

My career has taken me around the globe, working with diverse individuals—from street-involved youth to those facing addiction, grief, and trauma. These experiences have deepened my understanding of human resilience and the power of connection. Now, I call Victoria, BC home.

I hold a Master’s in Child and Youth Care from the University of Victoria and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Registered Play Therapist (BCRPT), Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, and Autplay Therapy Provider. I’m passionate about supporting people of all ages through life transitions or personal growth, offering empathy, insight, and support to help achieve their goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two teenagers, and our playful dog, Taz. We love exploring the outdoors and getting creative with repurposing furniture.

“I will not lead you through a door,

nor will I push you or follow you through the door. I will be fully present beside you.

and we will discover together what is there.”

—Gary Landreth, (2012) Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship (p. 78)

My approach

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where children, youth, and adults can explore who they are, gain insight into their challenges, and discover what they’d like to work on. I approach each person with curiosity, listening closely to their perspective and helping them uncover their strengths. Together, we’ll find new ways to manage life’s difficulties and move toward healing.

I believe therapy should be as unique as you are. Drawing from a variety of approaches—such as Narrative Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Mindfulness—I tailor our work to meet your needs and preferences. Whether through conversation, play, or creative activities, we’ll tap into your natural ability to heal and grow.

I’m here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, empathy, and support at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that therapy helps you build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and the confidence to reach your full potential.
