Interns

 Comox Valley Counselling provides the opportunity for learning therapists to grow in their clinical skills while completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology or Social Work. We also value the opportunity to provide clients with a low-cost support option. Our Master’s level counselling interns are directly supervised on an ongoing weekly basis by a Registered Clinical Counsellor and onsite clinical supervisor, as well as overseen by the Master’s level counselling program through their affiliated academic program.

Sessions with Counselling Interns are $60/ 50 minutes.

I tend to marvel at the connections between mental wellness and the nurturance of quality relationships with Self, with others, and with the natural world. In recognizing the profound impact that our relational landscape can have on holistic health and well-being, I work from a space of cultural humility. I approach each client with respect and a willingness to learn, acknowledging the myriad intersections of all identities and experiences. 

My intention in our work together is to offer a sense of presence and integration, drawing from somatic embodiment, transformational systemic therapy, attachment theory, nonviolent communication, and mindful self-compassion. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and radically relational, rooted in shared authenticity, responsibility, and collaboration. This means that we will work at your pace to build an experience of safety and trust. 

If you are seeking a compassionate anchor in your unique process of inner discovery and outer exploration, I am here to welcome you exactly as you are.
