Shari holds a Masters in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria and is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#3282) through membership with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. She started my career working with children, adults, and families in community agencies in Vancouver, and has focused exclusively on working with adults since opening her private practice in Victoria in 2010. Shari has trained in somatic therapy (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), parts work (Internal Family Systems) and have a diploma in expressive arts therapy.
I believe in working collaboratively with you to make changes that will enrich the quality of your life. My approach to counselling is integrative, relational, and compassionate. I draw on my studies in somatic therapy and parts work to help you deepen your connection with yourself and work towards greater self-acceptance. Counselling begins with our relationship, a therapeutic alliance where you feel respected, cared for, and psychologically safe. This lays the groundwork for making peace with your past, navigating your present, and shaping your future. I believe in your ability to make positive changes in your life and am here to support and guide you in this journey. Through compassionate listening, gentle encouragement, and a process of collaboration, I can help you create a more peaceful, fulfilling and meaningful life. My counselling services are confidential, respectful of your unique life experiences, and tailored to suit your individual needs. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss the possibilities!
