Sea to Tree Health & Wellness
In 2019, I founded Sea to Tree Health & Wellness Ltd. (originally called Sitka Wellness). It was born from the desire to create more opportunities for people to access local wellness services. We have a small team of local practitioners committed to supporting you in person and behind the scenes to make this possible.

My Approach
I work with individuals of all ages, with a focus on individuals and couples who have a variety of life experiences, including trauma, loss, relationship and family struggles, marginalization, substance use, anxiety and other mental health concerns. Each individual coming to therapy is unique, attempts to do the best possible with the resources available, has wisdom, creativity and strength. Everyone has the right to self-determination. To me, counselling means providing a safe place for you to tell your story, in whatever way that looks for you.

My background
I have a Bachelors Degree in Child and Youth Care from the University of Victoria as well as Masters Degree in Counselling from The City University of Seattle. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.
I am a member of the EMDR International Association and the BC Ambulance Critical Incident Stress Team, and hold a BC Professional Fire Fighters' Association Endorsement (Silver Level).
I also have specialized training in Gottman Marriage Therapy Level 3, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR certified), Sex Therapy, Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy (TIR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, First Responder Trauma, Smart Recovery, Smart Recovery Friends & Family, Reiki level 1 & 2, Core Addictions Practice Training, Somatic Experience Training, Communicating Through Conflict, and Indigenous Cultural Safety. Some of these trainings are ongoing.
Talk to me.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the counselling therapies that I practice and will be open to trying new ideas and approaches that you are interested in. I am happy to offer a free 20 minute consultation which will help us both determine if we are a suitable therapeutic fit for each other.
So - how do we meet?
Right now, I am open as my office space is large enough to maintain social distancing, but if public health indicates a need to change this, sessions will go back to being remote or online.
I also offer sessions as an outreach model: in nature, in a coffee shop, on a walk, etc.
