Depth-oriented psychotherapy in Nanaimo.

I work with individuals and couples as they move beneath the surface and engage the inner movements shaping their lives. Grounded in clinical training and guided by Jungian and symbolic understanding, my practice offers a secure, containing space where deeper understanding can take shape.

Serving Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Parksville, and the mid-Island region.
