The Island of Creative Expression

With one of the highest number of artists per capita in Canada and many art-centred events, Gabriola has earned its moniker, ‘Isle of the Arts’.

Whether you’re the creator, admirer, or participant, enjoy the island’s rich cultural landscape year-round.

Art, Music & Theatre Festivals

Gabriola Arts Council and other community organizations host lots of events throughout the year, ensuring plenty of opportunities to get creatively engaged. Below are some of our annual festivals.

For more events and to see what’s happening while you’re here, check out our Gabriola Events website.

Gabriola Museum

The Gabriola Museum is run by the Gabriola Historical Society and is the place to discover island stories.

The Museum is located on South Road, a comfortable (1.2 km) walk or a short drive up the hill from the ferry dock at Descanso Bay. It is open from May to December.

Visit their website for hours, events and exhibits.

About

Let’s connect

You are not alone in your struggles. I will support, guide you and encourage you as we work together towards growth and change. We all heal best while in caring relationships. Therapy is a safe place to begin the relational work that can in time, be applied to life outside of our sessions.

Individual Psychotherapy

I work with adults wanting to better understand themselves and their thoughts, feelings or behaviours. Change requires insight, attention, support and action.

Family of Origin

"If it's not one thing it's your Mother".

There is no shame in being an adult still carrying unhelpful beliefs and experiences from childhood. I will make space for these to be unpacked and processed.

Relationships

Relationships are important to our well-being and they can also be very challenging. Whether with friends, family or a partner, communication and boundaries tend to require insight and skills. Counselling can be helpful in establishing or changing patterns.

Perinatal

The journey to motherhood can be intense, whether this relates to infertility, mood disorders in pregnancy or postpartum, or the challenges adjusting to parenthood.
