Hi, I’m Claudia!

I support youth, couples, and families through life’s challenges, transitions, and relationships. Whether you’re navigating school concerns, parenting or co-parenting, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help you make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward.

I believe counselling should feel collaborative, supportive, and judgment-free—not like another place where you’re told what you “should” be doing. Every person, couple, and family is different, and I work with you to find practical strategies that fit your life.

As a counsellor, teacher, spouse, parent, co-/step-parent, and coach I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. I understand that family life can be complicated, messy, rewarding, and sometimes everything all at once.

I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology with distinction from Yorkville University as well as a Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Victoria. I’m particularly passionate about youth mental health, family and couples concerns, communication, psychoeducation, and supporting families through transitions.

My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and better equipped to move forward—with practical tools and a clearer understanding of what comes next.

Outside of counselling, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and pets, getting outside, playing and coaching volleyball, and appreciating the everyday moments that make life feel full. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we’re a good fit for each other!

I support families who are experiencing uncertainty about the next steps for a child who may be struggling with racing thoughts, shame, or feeling misunderstood, so together you can feel equipped, supported, and confident throughout the journey.

I understand that every child, youth, and young adult experiences the world differently. What brings one young person to counselling may look very different from another, which is why I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach. My role is to meet each individual where they are, creating a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where they feel safe, understood, and accepted for exactly who they are.

Together, we work to make sense of life’s challenges while building confidence, emotional awareness, resilience, and practical coping skills. My goal is to help young people not only navigate current difficulties but also develop lifelong tools that strengthen their sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being.

Hello!

I am so excited to have the honour of working with your family on this chapter of your journey.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsupported, and uncertain about your next steps, I see you and am here to help. Together, we ensure your child feels seen and heard, empowering them to pursue their dreams.

With a background in medical trauma, my diverse experience includes working on a specialized team within the school district, as well as roles in non-profit organizations and Victoria General Hospital’s Pediatric Unit. I consider myself fortunate to have such varied experiences, and providing families with compassionate, holistic support through private practice as an RCC has truly been a privilege.

I look forward to welcoming you and partnering with you on this meaningful path.
