I am Caroline – here to walk with you as you take your next steps on the path to healing.

I am an RN, registered with the BCCNM and a CNP (certified nurse psychotherapist) registered with the Canadian Nurse Psychotherapist Association. I’m also an Intentional Creativity Teacher and Write Your Self Guide.

My approach is integrative, collaborative, and oriented towards post-traumatic growth. My style is gentle, yet direct. With care and kindness, I will challenge you to dig deep and go beyond what is already known, familiar, and habitual. My practice is informed by several evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, CPT for trauma, IFS, and Solution-Focused Therapy, in addition to  my knowledge and experience in the healing arts - which draws on the use of visual arts, intuitive creative processes, writing and poetry, whole-health and nature-based practices. Further, my way of being with you is greatly influenced by humanistic psychology and Watson’s Caring Science & Human Caring Theory. 

Individual sessions will be offered virtually for Canadian residents aged 19+ who may be struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, impacts of trauma including PTSD, coping with chronic health issues, grief & loss, burnout, relationship challenges, and navigating major life changes. I am passionate about working with women who have experienced life-altering events and want to reclaim their sense of self.

Background: I am a professional member of the Canadian and Psychotherapy Association and the Canadian Holistic Nurses Association. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree, with distinction, from Vancouver Island University and have obtained additional counselling training, skill and knowledge from the College of Health Studies. For the past 15 years, I have worked as a nurse, counsellor and case manager, both in the private and public mental health and substance use treatment programs. Additionally, I have facilitated early recovery groups, psychoeducation, group therapy, women’s sharing circles, and co-facilitated a post-traumatic growth and recovery program for women.
