Therapists in Aldergrove, BC

My passion is working with people who want to develop themselves at a personal and relational level. I work with people who have experienced great difficulty in life, whether this difficulty persists from childhood or results from more recent trauma or setbacks; people who understand that they need help and want to move forward in their lives, bringing tangible and sustainable change.....and freedom. I get excited about the transformational aspect that therapy can bring. I draw on my extensive life experience as a mature therapist, that brings with it acceptance, non-judgement and wisdom.

The Power of Perception... The greatest area of growth my clients experience from our work together is a new way of seeing and experiencing their lives. I'll help you move from a place of hopelessness, frustration, and fear to clarity and peace. You'll learn the struggle can be your power spot to creating change. Although this can be difficult, discomfort acts as a motivator for change. That is its job. You are at a place where all the possibilities and richness of life are yours to be found. I can help you take your next steps.

When you have experienced a lot of adversity and challenging life circumstances, it is normal to feel out of touch with yourself and your life. You may frequently find yourself in toxic relationships, feel unworthy, or have an intense longing for something more in your life. You want peace with yourself, with others, and your life. I can help you with these issues in our counselling sessions together.

Human beings experience severe life stressors sometimes, and when they do it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. I have a passion for helping people, who are experiencing difficulties, strengthen their relationships with themselves and others, so they can once again live purposeful, joy-filled lives, while still honouring their past.

As a man, therapy might not be your preferred use of time, yet a growing part of you is curious about what could be. Throughout your life, you’ve felt minimized and closed off from your potential. Maybe you’ve grown curious about that. You know you have lots to offer, but you are uncertain of what that could look like. You want to gain confidence and independence to realize your dreams or control your addictions, but you haven’t found someone who cares or understands enough to provide you with the support you need. You are noticing a new excitement and motivation to connect with yourself and others in a healthier way.

Life is challenging and at times can feel overwhelming. Thoughts may be swirling around your head resulting in stress, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness. Together, we will work on strategies addressing these issues; as well as healing the root cause. We will focus on your strengths and use those to help your area(s) of need. You will learn tools and resources to interpret your behaviours, identify themes and analyze problems. Counselling works because you have the ability to grow and change. I will help you build a strong foundation for the now and future. I offer short term and long-term goal focused counselling.

At times, we all wonder if our present day realities are aligned with our intended paths. Was it the right time? The right job? The right relationship? Is this as good as it gets? Am I happy? Am I fulfilled? If you experience anxiety, depression, confusion or simply feel alone, counselling can offer opportunities for a deeper sense of connection to yourself, your relationships and your life. I am here to walk alongside of you, to listen to your goals, desires and needs. Whether it is sharing long kept secrets, traumas or personal revelations I am here to connect with you.

People seek counselling for different reasons: tragedies and traumas, personal struggles, unanticipated forks in the road of our lives, or questioning the path we are on. I strongly believe in the resilience and strength of each individual to find these answers, and I believe that I can be a valuable guide in helping you find these answers. I welcome individuals and couples from all walks of life and backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and non-traditional couples, as well as first-responders and members of the military.

Often my clients are wanting to explore a personal issue/problem/feeling that won't go away and is starting to affect almost every part of their life. Advice from friends or family isn't helping and nothing else they have tried has worked. They believe there must be a better way to be but somehow they are just stuck. I can help you tackle your issues, get unstuck, and find that better place. Both personally and professionally, I can attest to the power of awareness as a key factor in facilitating a desired change; We can’t find the truth listening to our own voice’s echo. We can find ourselves only in someone’s mirror”(Rumi, n.d)

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that every individual possesses the innate potential to lead a fulfilling life in alignment with their core values and deepest desires. As a therapist, I prioritize building a trusting and safe relationship with my clients, empowering them to pursue growth and embrace discomfort in the pursuit of these values.

Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment. I believe that is what we may need in our lives, and I am able to serve you in this area. For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

Perhaps you're struggling to figure out what you really want out of life, and this lack of direction is causing you stress and anxiety. These feelings can be incredibly challenging to navigate, but it's important to know that you're not alone in your experience.
