Inner Direction. Outer Change.
Welcome. I am celebrating your desire for change.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC) who helps people move beyond survival patterns and cultivate a deeper, more compassionate relationship with themselves.
My work is experiential, relational, and grounded in the neuroscience of emotional transformation, integrating evidence-based approaches with authentic human connection.
I bring warmth, depth, compassion, and humour to the therapeutic relationship, even when exploring life’s most difficult and existential experiences.
Together, we create the conditions for meaningful and lasting change—and a space where you do not have to carry everything on your own.

Havenwood’s Professional Ethical & Commitment. We follow the ethical guidelines of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and adhere to all privacy and confidentiality standards, including the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), to protect your sensitive information and ensure your trust in our work together.
Havenwood acknowledges with deep respect that we practice on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Coast Salish Peoples. Our downtown Duncan location rests on the traditional lands of the Quw’utsun (Cowichan) peoples, whose enduring relationship with this land continues to guide and shape its life.
Our Sahtlam location, nestled in the forested hills west of the city, lies within the broader territories of the Quw’utsun, and neighboring Nations including the Ts’uubaa-asatx, Halalt, Stz’uminus, Penelakut, Lyackson, and Malahat peoples. We recognize that this land was never ceded, and that colonization—including displacement, residential schools, and ongoing systemic harms—continues to affect Indigenous communities.
Havenwood honours and affirms the dignity, identities, and lived experiences of all people, including those who are Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and beyond (LGBTQIA2S+). We recognize and respect each person’s right to self-identify and express their gender and sexuality freely and authentically. We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and affirming space where all individuals are valued and supported in their journeys of healing and growth.
Havenwood recognizes that healing often involves more than just the mind and emotions — it can include the spirit as well. These sessions create space for your personal spiritual or existential beliefs to be explored and supported, without judgment or agenda. Whether you draw from a specific religious tradition, nature-based practices, meditation, or simply a sense of meaning or connection beyond yourself, this approach honours your inner life as a vital part of your healing process.
