Hi, I’m Tina. I’m a registered clinical counsellor with a deep passion for supporting children, youth, and families through life’s challenges. With over 20 years of combined professional and volunteer experience, I’ve walked alongside individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and change; always with empathy, respect, and a person-centered approach.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and specialize in trauma-informed care, emotional regulation, and collaborative support. Whether I’m working one-on-one, in schools, or with community organizations, my goal is to create a safe space where people feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.
I believe healing happens in relationship, with ourselves and with others. My practice is grounded in cultural humility, curiosity, and the belief that every person has the capacity for resilience and transformation.
Outside of counselling, I’m a youth mentor, and an advocate for inclusive mental health education. I’m based on Salt Spring Island and offer both in-person and virtual sessions
