In Person Therapists in Hope, BC
I believe every person is the expert of their life. I provide a safe environment where people can process and gain the insights and awareness they are seeking. Many of us feel trapped in shame, guilt, fear, loneliness, anger, and hurt and we become our own harshest critic. These feelings are often unconscious, deep-rooted and have not been recognized, acknowledged and shared with someone non-judgmental. Well-intentioned family members, friends and co-workers offer advice and support in ways that can inhibit our healing process. As we share our life stories with someone objective we are able to heal ourselves.

As a holistic counsellor and hypnotherapist I provide support to you for loss, life transitions, anxiety, stress, grief and depression. As each person is unique I am very interested in understanding the bigger picture of who you are, not just the issue. Together in counselling, hypnotherapy or both I will tailor an approach that it’s maximally effective and relevant for you. Hypnotherapy and breath work can be used to benefit those who have anxiety, stress and sleep issues.

Life can sometimes darken our hearts and make things feel difficult or even hopeless, as if there is no way out. You may battle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism or low self-worth while a strong inner critic berates you every step of the way. Perhaps you feel pulled in different directions, while feeling as though you are losing control over your life - at a loss to know where to start in order to break the negative cycles you find yourself trapped in. Amidst all this, relationships may suffer, not only with others, but also with yourself as you strive to find who you really are amongst all the chatter and chaos of your mind.

Life is hard , period. As human beings we are wired for connection and are not meant to navigate life alone. The reality is that we don’t have to. I offer specialized counselling for individuals facing challenges with eating disorders (disordered eating of any kind) body dissatisfaction and problematic substance use. I provide support for a wide array of other challenges too, such as life transitions, mood disorders, self worth/self-esteem, relationship challenges, maternal mental health and faith/religious deconstruction.

Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed with life? Many people who seek counselling support are feeling exhausted by negative internal thoughts. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, body image issues or low self-esteem. I've been there too. I want you to know that there is hope and having someone to listen and support in the middle of our struggles can make all the difference.

Before I try to impress you with credentials, accomplishments and experience, I want to introduce myself on a personal level. I love change. I love helping people create their change. I am passionate about seeing people make good decisions from well thought out options and choices. Helping people see the same, sometimes long term, problem in a different light or from a different angle is exciting for me. New, different and out of the ordinary usually leads to feeling, thinking and acting “another way”. When people stop doing what does not work or make adjustments of any size and level, then improvement is inevitable.

I work with people who want to improve their relationships, gain more clarity and intention, and learn to show up well in their lives. I work a lot with moms around the stresses of motherhood and womanhood. I teach clients how their emotions, triggers and thoughts impact their actions and lives, and work with the client to create strategies around emotional resilience, habit change and presence. I aim to be empathetic, curious, and lighthearted but also challenge my clients to learn new things about themselves and what they want from their lives.

Have you ever felt like you were too much and not enough at the same time? Maybe the world has told you that you're too sensitive. Or that you're making a big deal out of nothing.

We all need someone to walk beside us, remind us of our goodness, and point out things we may have never considered before. I believe every client possesses the innate wisdom and strength to grow, change and heal. Let me join you on your journey of wholeness, healing and autonomy as you connect with yourself and look inwardly with compassion and curiosity.

Having lived experience as a father, tradesman, coach and family peer support worker, I understand the pressures and expectations we put on ourselves to perform and function the very best for the ones we love/support/work with. Our lives are busy and stressful and we need to be reliable and unwavering for those around us but this is not sustainable if we don't take time to maintain our own well-being. I can assist you to discover your own inner fortitude and realize the strength and resilience you possess to overcome barriers.

I hope to hold a compassionate space where we can accept the purposes of our behaviours, while challenging ourselves to pursue new, more pleasant ways of being. We are not always shown the acceptance and compassion I believe is needed to grow into the best version of ourselves. My hope is that our therapy can help you feel accepted as you are so that you can grow into who you’d like to be. Our therapy space can be one in which we can slow down, feel compassion for ourselves, and make meaningful changes towards the goals you put forward.
