Why Work With Me?
-
Every Session is a Full 2 Hours
Over many years of practice, I have seen time and time again that it takes 30-45 minutes for clients to really settle into a session. And it is almost always at the 45 minute to 1 hour mark that they settle into a groove and the good stuff starts to happen. Rather than shut everything down just as you’re having an ‘aha’ moment, or about to experience a breakthrough, we remain engaged until your process reaches its natural conclusion - usually around the 2 hour mark. This gives you the opportunity to experience the resolutions that will afford you deeper healing and integration. It makes this work exceptionally effective, and usually means you’ll require fewer sessions, in the long run.

Personalized Sessions for Your Unique Journey
You probably know as well as I do that there is no single approach to life or learning that works for everyone. With extensive experience in everything I teach, I am distinctly equipped to help you discover exactly what you need to achieve the change you are looking for. My clients tell me our work together is unlike any other work they have done - often inspiring breakthroughs, transformations, and healing they’ve been seeking for years.

Accessible No Matter Where You Are
Clients from all over the world connect with me online and by telephone. In-person sessions take place at my home-studio in Mission, BC. For those who prefer to move while processing, Outdoor Walking sessions are also available. Just let me know what works best for you.

Clients Rave About this Work
Investing in yourself is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. With all the options available out there these days, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices in front of you. You’ll want to make sure you’re dedicating your time, attention, and money to endeavours that pay off. One of the best ways to home in on the best choice is to have a look at what a practitioner’s clients have to say.

Neruodiversity Informed, Affirming & Identified
If you are neruodivergent, you already know some of the challenges that come with therapeutic approaches that don’t make space for the fact that ND brains work differently. As an ND affirming and identified therapist, I know that neruodivergence isn’t a condition that needs to be fixed or cured. I understand the impacts neurodivergence can have, and the challenges of trying to fit in to a neurotypical world. Wherever it is you want to go, and whatever it is you want to change, I’m here to help you get there, in ways that work for YOU.

LGBTQA2+ and BIPOC Safe
If you are LGBTQA2+ or BIPOC identified, or love someone who is, you deserve to work with someone who is both affirming and informed. Whether you’re wrestling with questions about your own or a loved-one’s identity, trying to figure out how to cope in a world that can be cruel, navigating relationships, or looking for other support from someone you can simply be yourself with, my office is a safe and honouring space. I have extensive education and experience in this area, so you’ll be speaking with someone who is both informed and an ally.
-
Non-Judgemental & Accepting
I firmly believe that in any given moment of our lives, the vast majority of us are doing the very best we can, with the tools and information we have available. I’ve been through enough of my own trials to know that whatever it is you’re going through, you’re a decent human who sincerely wants to be good to yourself and the people you love. You won’t get any ‘holier-than-though’ stuff from me, and I will always meet you with respect and dignity. I may not always agree with you, and it’s my job to call attention to problem areas, but you will always be accepted and supported in our work together.
-
Professionalism, Education & Experience
As you invest in positive change, it is important for you to know that you are working with someone who is skilled, accomplished, and professional. Having pursued extensive personal and institutional learning - the body of knowledge I have to share with you is exceptional. My education and professional development are ever-continuing, and I always work in accordance with professional Best Practices.

Your Confidentiality is Guaranteed
I am deeply committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. Every session is 100% confidential. The single exception is a situation in which I may be required by law to release specific information to authorities. This is extremely rare, and has never been required of me in the history of my practice. What you share in your sessions stays in your sessions. Period. If we ever encounter one another in a public place, I will studiously avoid contact, unless you approach me first. This way, you maintain total control and determination over who, if anyone, knows we’re acquainted.
