Theresa is a compassionate and experienced registered clinical counsellor (RCC) dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey of personal growth. With nearly 20 years of experience and dual master’s degrees in Counselling Psychology and Neuroscience, she brings a compassionate, evidence-based approach to lasting healing.

Theresa works with children (5+), adults, and couples, offering a supportive space to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep challenges, identity, and life changes. Her work is inclusive, trauma-informed, culturally aware and neuro-diverse affirming. Theresa’s current areas of focus include working with couples, supporting individuals through life transitions and self-discovery, helping people navigate perimenopause and menopause, and helping people navigate anxiety, trauma and sleep difficulties. Theresa intentionally holds a few spaces in her practice for children and teens.

Theresa takes an integrative, individualized approach to therapy, guided by each client’s goals. Her work draws from person-centred therapy, CBT, DBT, SFBT, expressive and somatic approaches, and interpersonal neurobiology. She has additional training in the Gottman Method, SPACE for parents, and CBT-I for sleep concerns. Grounded in neuroscience, her work includes psychoeducation to help clients better understand their nervous system and support emotional regulation and growth.

Theresa is known for her warmth, humour, and the ability to create a welcoming environment where clients feel heard and supported. Her goal is to foster strong therapeutic relationships that encourage self-exploration and meaningful change, helping clients to lead more balanced and fulfilling lives.

Originally from British Columbia, Theresa has called Victoria home for over 20 years, where she lives with her partner, three children, and her cat Coco.
