Are you feeling weighed down by worry, loneliness, or a sense that something just isn't right? You're not alone, and it's okay to ask for help. As a dedicated therapist, I'm here to journey alongside you, guiding you towards genuine happiness and fulfillment.
In this space, the power of courage, compassion, and connection is honoured. This is a place where your story is not only heard but deeply valued. Here, vulnerability becomes our bridge to authenticity and joy.
I provide warm, interactive, nonjudgmental counseling, rooted in trust and respect. Your comfort and our relationship drive lasting change. I offer in-office therapy in Sidney, BC and online therapy in Vancouver, Victoria and BC, using talk therapy, evidence-based methods, and mindfulness to address stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more.
My identity and commitment to understand my privilege as a white, cisgendered, heterosexual woman, my many years of experience as a professional actor and singer, holistic nutritionist, yoga teacher and endurance athlete, my experience in marriage and motherhood, all inform my work as a therapist.

I offer one-on-one counselling for adults and teens, providing a safe and supportive space to address various challenges such as anxiety, burnout, self-esteem, life transitions, depression, perfectionism, and relational trauma. Together, we will develop a personalized approach drawing from evidence-based therapies to empower you on your journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth.
Your work is your passion and your identity. Loved ones struggle to understand your sacrifices and you may feel torn between a longing for stability and the excitement of the creative life you love. Counselling can help you create balance and security within your unique lifestyle.
You never feel like you’re enough, and this constant doubt weighs heavily on your heart, dimming your joy and stifling your potential. Counselling can help you unearth your inherent worth, quiet the inner critic, and foster an authentic sense of self-love.

Scott grew up in a home where love was unpredictable, leading his nervous system to constantly perceive threats, even in harmless situations. Polyvagal Theory explains how our nervous system reacts to cues of safety or danger, and why some people, like Scott, get stuck in survival mode, feeling perpetually anxious or disconnected. Factors like chronic stress, early experiences, and a lack of supportive relationships can condition the nervous system to remain on high alert. By understanding these patterns and applying practical strategies such as building safe connections, mindful breathing, and self-compassion, it's possible to move toward a state of safety and emotional regulation.
Imagine this: You’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling as your heart races and your thoughts spin out of control. The anxiety that seemed manageable just hours ago now feels like a tidal wave, threatening to pull you under. We’ve all been there—feeling overwhelmed, exposed, and utterly vulnerable. But what if, in these moments, there’s an opportunity for something more? What if this very vulnerability could be the key to unlocking our deepest courage?
