About
She / her / hers · Registered Clinical Counsellor & Approved Clinical Supervisor · Victoria, BC
I’m an educational psychologist and clinical counsellor. People heal and grow in a calm, respectful, collaborative relationship, and that’s the kind of space I try to create. My work brings together trauma therapy, the science of learning and self-regulation, and a neurodiversity-affirming lens, so that care fits the whole person and not just a diagnosis.
My doctoral research at the University of Victoria explored how stress, mental health and self-regulated learning shape our ability to flourish. That work has been recognized with the BCACC Distinguished Professional Contribution to Applied Research Award (2025) and the CCPA Doctoral Dissertation Award (2025), among others.
Alongside my counselling practice, I teach and supervise the next generation of counsellors, including as an instructor for the BCACC Clinical Supervision Course, and I present widely to schools, clinicians and parents on stress regulation and flourishing.
Some recognition for my research and practice over the years:
My research on stress, mental health, and self-regulated learning has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Frontiers in Education and the Canadian Journal of School Psychology. A fuller list of my publications, presentations, and workshops, along with my professional background, is available on ResearchGate and LinkedIn.
Meg works alongside a small team of trusted associate counsellors, so clients can be matched with the right fit and the right availability.

Trauma lives in the body and nervous system, not just our thoughts. I use approaches that help the whole system feel safe enough to process and integrate difficult experiences, at a pace that respects you.

An integration of Internal Family Systems with EMDR, working compassionately with the different “parts” of you while reprocessing.
A gentle, body-based approach to attachment shock and unresolved traumatic experience, working with the brainstem’s orienting response.
Extended sessions for focused trauma work, available on request. These can help when weekly sessions feel too slow.
Reach out with your questions. There’s no pressure, just a conversation.

One-to-one counselling to understand your ADHD, build regulation and executive-function strategies, and work through the emotional side of neurodivergence.
A supportive group program for adults, with practical skills, shared understanding, and community, grounded in a holistic, affirming framework.
Meg holds advanced ADHD and neurodiversity certifications and writes and presents widely on a whole-person approach to ADHD.
