Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Cranbrook, BC

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.

Everyone at some point in their lives encounters difficult experiences and I believe everyone can benefit from a non-partial witness to the difficulties life brings. I specialize in issues surrounding depression and anxiety as well as trauma and abuse using mindfulness and somatic-based approaches. I endeavour to collaborate with clients through deep listening, compassionate reflection and evidence based practices to help you shift your responses and make choices to help yourself heal.

For me, the ideal client is someone who is committed to their own healing journey and understands that participating in therapy is a lifelong process. I deeply believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and happy life, and that seeking therapy is a courageous step towards achieving that. As a therapist, I have found that the most rewarding experiences come from working with clients who are willing to put in the effort and dedication to their own growth and healing. I feel honored to walk alongside these clients on their journey, providing support, guidance, and compassion as they navigate the ups and downs of life.

Using a depth-psychodynamic approach, I work primarily with individuals who seek a deeper understanding of their inner and outer worlds, and I am particularly fond of working with those in/around their Saturn Return—the quarterlifers (early 20s to mid 30s). Sessions may consist of: exploring your childhood patterns, relationships and attachment styles; analyzing dreams; inner child and shadow work; strengthening trust in your inner knowing; coaching around manifesting your life goals; somatic and mindfulness exercises; and compassionate confrontation around where you are stuck in your growth or blocking the progress of your healing.

I believe that all human beings have a remarkable ability to grow and change. Some clients come to me with a great deal of depression or hopelessness about their lives without the insight as to how they can be helped. I use a strengths-based approach as I listen to their stories to find the hope, possibilities, and resiliencies that coexist alongside suffering and insecurities. Therapies are evidenced-based and trauma informed and approach clients from a spiritual and cultural lens.

It is never too late for meaningful change in your life. Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Stuck in negative thought patterns? Worried about your child's development? Suffering from PTSD, anxiety or nearing a separation? I provide short-term counselling to explore solutions to specific problems and long-term therapy to address historical issues and persistent patterns. I work collaboratively with you to build an individualized treatment plan based on your current needs, motivations and strengths. I utilize CBT, EMDR, DBT, EFT and other empirically-based interventions to help you overcome your symptoms and any related distress.
