Anger Management Therapists in V0G

Hi there! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor who works with adults, families, children and youth. Whether one is struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transition, or relationships, I collaborate with clients of diverse life experiences, and sexualities, to facilitate change through connection to one’s deepest yearnings.

My individualized process is guided by your needs, wants, beliefs, and values. I use many approaches to support you: active listening, empathy, targeted psychological and social interventions, thought exercises, and goal setting. I help you understand how changing can improve your quality of life and how to take those difficult steps towards self-improvement. Our relationship will be based on mutual respect, empathy, professionalism, respect for diversity, and a focus on your rights to confidentiality and autonomy. I help with couples counselling, child, youth & family issues, anxiety, depression, OCD, and men's issues.

I am passionate about working with those who have suffered extensive trauma, including sexual abuse and human trafficking. I integrate my training in clinical counselling, trauma therapy and art therapy to offer support tailored to address individual needs. I provide a relational approach where compassion and connection are central, working on the premise that we are wounded within the context of relationship and we heal within relationship. I believe in empowering people to discover they have within them all they need to heal.

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) practicing online and in the Slocan Valley, and I understand how complicated life can be. We all have moments where we grapple with change, stuck patterns, or difficult relationships, where we wish things were different but were not sure how or where to begin. We may even find that our behaviours don't align with the vision we hold of ourselves. You may be at this point yourself, wondering "how do I start living a life that reflects my self, my values, and my beliefs?"

I am a Registered Psychologist (R.Psych.) with the College of Psychologists of BC. My home office is located in downtown Castlegar, British Columbia. I provide psychological, psycho-vocational, psycho-educational and learning disability assessments for children (ages 6-18) & adults, as well as individual therapy for adults & teens for trauma/PTSD, anxiety panic attacks, OCD, depression, chronic pain/illness, transitional life issues (i.e. bereavement, occupational), stress, relationship issues, and sleep problems. Please note I’m not currently accepting new therapy clients. For assessment inquiries, please email me.

Embrace the potential for true change at any stage of life. Whether contending with anxiety, negative thought cycles, concerns about your child, PTSD, anxiety, or facing a separation, I offer tailored short-term counseling for specific challenges and long-term therapy to delve into historical issues and enduring patterns. Together, we craft a personalized treatment plan aligned with your current needs, motivations, and strengths. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR, DBT, EFT, and more, I'm driven to guide you in overcoming symptoms and related distress.

It is seeming all too normal these days to experience feelings of disconnection. A separation from ourselves, our passions, our bodies, our communities, etc. We spend so much time in our heads trying to figure out how to survive when we so desperately want to be thriving. Where has our aliveness gone? How do we get our bodies and our senses back online and truly show up for our unique experience?
