  • In my practice it tends to suit adults who want to understand what’s underneath a pattern rather than only manage it. Often people arrive during a period of change, or noticing something that keeps repeating. It’s less suited to someone looking purely for talk therapy, since we work experientially as well as conversationally.

  • This is something we'd talk through on our consultation call, but here's how I think about it: if we'd be focused on the same issue, I don't take that on alongside another therapist, since it tends to blur the work rather than support it. If the focus is distinct, working alongside them may work, and I'd coordinate as needed so neither of our work gets in the way of the other's.

  • An RCC is registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, which requires a master’s degree, supervised clinical hours and ongoing professional development. It’s the designation most extended health plans in BC recognize for coverage. My registration number is #18626.


  • Not at the moment. I currently offer individual counselling for adults, typically between 25 and 60.
