Parallel to my private practice in Victoria, I work at Camosun College as Campus Counsellor.   At Camosun College I support students through clinical counselling, workshops and groups covering across a broad range of life, relationship and mental health issues.  I was previously Director of Housing at Quest University Canada and part of the management team and where I served students in a variety of milieu counselling, assessment and student development capacities.  My previous counselling experience includes private practice work in Oakland and Vancouver,  working for the Oakland Center for Holistic Counselling and also British Columbia Families in Transition in Victoria.   Prior to my career change into counselling, I have 8 years of experience working in a variety of roles in the Vancouver software industry including team leader, project manager and marketing coordinator.

​

I focus on offering my clients the best of traditional approaches to counselling combined with leading edge mind-body research on mindfulness, stress reduction, neuroscience and other holistic views on mental health and well-being.  In my approach mind, body, emotions and spirit/existential ideas are all welcome and important topics for counselling.
