Welcome!

My name is Maxine (she/her/hers). I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Certified EMDR Therapist.

I offer in-person counselling for adults 19+ in the Crofton, Chemainus, Duncan, Ladysmith, and surrounding areas.

People often come to see me because traumatic experiences, anxiety, childhood abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, and relationship challenges have left them feeling overwhelmed, helpless, confused, ashamed, and alone.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Change and healing are possible.

Using the powerful benefits of EMDR and incorporating what we know from attachment theory, nervous system healing and ego states/parts work I can help you:

• work through past traumas so they no longer impact the present

• create more fulfilling, healthy and authentic relationships with yourself, friends, and family

• feel less weighed down by feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, shame, loneliness, confusion and regret

• increase your ability to feel and manage emotions, think clearly, be present and not numb out

• understand yourself better, increase self-esteem and self-acceptance, and have more confidence in your abilities to build the life you desire

I have 30+ years’ experience working with folks in a diverse range of settings, including non-profit organizations and private practice.

With a deep understanding of the complex nature of trauma and a genuine passion for fostering healing and growth, I am here to guide you on your journey towards reclaiming the life you desire.

Take the first step by scheduling a free 15-minute phone consultation today. This brief call, gives you the chance to ask questions and determine if my services are the right fit for your needs.

I look forward to connecting with you!
