About Dev (she/her):

I am a Master’s level Counselling Psychology student offering individual counselling to adults of all ages. My approach is warm, adaptive, and relational.

I draw from a variety of modalities to best support your needs, including person-focused therapy, parts-work, and somatic therapy.

I believe we all have the resources within us to heal and live a meaningful life. Often the path getting there can feel scary and isolating. I am here to listen and support you.

If you’re feeling blocked or stuck, my intention is to help you find clarity. Our work together can bring resolution to past events, and open up space to focus on what is most important to you now.

My practice is informed by my lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person, and by my background as a yoga and meditation teacher.

A commitment to social justice is important to my work, and I strive to create a space that is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, anti-oppressive, and rooted in harm reduction.

It is an honour to be part of your learning and growth. I look forward to walking alongside you during this process.

I offer support with (but not limited to):

  • Anxiety

  • Life transitions and change

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationships

  • Boundaries and communication

  • Spirituality and existential questioning

  • Neurodivergence

I use an integrative therapeutic framework, informed by:

  • Person-focused Therapy

  • Parts Work

  • Somatic Therapy

  • Mindfulness

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Solution-focused Therapy (SFT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

My certifications include:

  • Integrative Somatic Parts Work (Levels 1, 2, and 3)

  • Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)

  • Certified yoga and meditation teacher (5+ years experience)

  • Training in the Hakomi Method for Somatic Healing (through PESI, facilitated by Manuela Mischke-Reeds (MA, MFT), a certified Hakomi Trainer through the Hakomi Institute)

Availability

I am accepting new clients. I am available in person at the Oak Bay Psychology location, as well as online and via phone.
