When not painting....
I am a Registered Social Worker who is honoured to have been working with individuals, couples and groups as a counsellor for over 20 years. I take a particular interest in supporting people to heal from trauma, as well as a special focus on the discovery of the "athentic self". Your personal uniqueness is something to accept and embrace!
In addition to therapies like EMDR (certified), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (preferred provider), Mindfulness, I am a Jungian oriented therapist who incorporates journaling, art, and paying attention to your dreams to reveal a deeper understanding. I am currently an approved provider with Medavie Blue Cross (veterans and RCMP), First Nations Health Authority, Crime Victim Assistance Program in British Columbia, and others. Sessions are available over telehealth or in person for clients who reside in B.C.
My formal education includes masters degrees in both Social Work and Anthropology from the University of British Columbia, as well as a post graduate certificate in Trauma and Dissociation, from Pacifica Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, California, USA.
