Therapists in Fernie, BC

I offer a person-centered, holistic approach to supporting people to connect with their innate wisdom to heal, grow, and thrive. Honouring the unique context of peoples’ experiences, I support people on their transformational path through anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, loss, loneliness, depression, healing trauma & creating resilience. My focus is to create a safe, warm, inclusive atmosphere where the fear & shame that often hold us back from healing can soften through an experience of compassionate acceptance & deeply attuned therapeutic support.

I believe in the inherent healing capacity of all beings. I know and trust that we are connected to one another and a variety of loving supports through our ancestry and the universe as a whole. Life can be suffering and this is the balance to bliss. Our greatest strengths and wisdom are connected to our suffering, when we can find a safe, compassionate space in which to acknowledge and feel our pain we can begin to move through it and discover the gifts that we have gained by our survival. It is an honour to be in connection with you, to hold loving awareness for you and your unique experience. Together, let’s invite some ease.

Are you wanting to be more present with your children? Create a life that you love? To have deeper connections to yourself and others?

I understand how much courage it can take to ask for support and I recognize the strengths and resiliency of each person I work with. I hold a compassionate and genuine space for you to to show up as you are while we work through life challenges, and explore and shift mental, emotional, somatic and behavioural patterns that no longer serve you. I use a blend of approaches, such as Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, and nature-based practices to support you to develop a sense of empowerment, self-awareness, self-compassion, and internal safety. Nature-based sessions available!

I believe in our shared ability for growth and learning, even when there are life external and internal challenges. I am humbled by every person's potential for movement towards wellness and each individual unique solutions and persistence. I bring experiential, attachment centered, present time resourcing into my work with clients, youth, adults and seniors. We can weave in somatic therapy and E.M.D.R. therapy, mindfulness, CB.T and other counselling tools that can support holistic rewiring of neural networks. I am here to support you with difficult life transitions, grief, identity, anxiety or depression and move towards balance.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor living and working in Nelson British Columbia. I believe that developing trust and safety is the most important part of the counselling process. I hold a belief that we all have within ourselves the resources to grow and transform, provided we are given an environment of emotional safety that allows for self-exploration and authentic expression.

Life can be difficult sometimes and it’s hard to work through deep issues when you're in survival mode. I have been supporting people in healing for 17 years. As a counsellor, I offer compassionate, person-centred, therapeutic support, with an integrative approach to safely support you in your healing journey through Anxiety, Relationship difficulties, Religious Oppression, Trauma, Grief & Loss. My passion for therapeutic work stems from my own healing of deep traumas. I know the courage it takes to meet the challenges of healing & solid support makes all the difference as you move toward your goal with clarity and purpose.
