Welcome

Welcome!  This website is intended to introduce you to the various aspects of my counselling practice as well as to give you some information about myself and how I work with people generally.  The heading “my practice” gives you the logistics (such as hours, location, fees, etc.) while the other headings describe my areas  and methods of practice.  The heading “CFL” refers specifically to the services I provide as a member of the Collaborative Family Law group in Victoria.   I hope you find this site to be user-friendly!  Please feel free to contact me for more specific information about how I might approach the concerns you have, and how we could work together to meet your needs.

I am a registered clinical social worker (RCSW) with the BC College of Social Workers. Social Workers can be employed in a wide variety of settings (such as hospitals, government services,  and social service agencies), but many social workers independently work as counsellors and psychotherapists with  individuals, couples, families and groups.  While there  are certainly ways in which the work of social workers, psychologists, and counsellors with degrees from other disciplines overlap, social work training emphasizes not only clinical skills, but a thorough understanding of how individuals are impacted by their social contexts.  This approach, often described as “systemic”,  offers clients a broader perspective on their situation while identifying appropriate strategies for change.
