Therapists in Kelowna, BC

The quality of our lives is based partly upon the quality of the questions we ask ourselves daily. I hold a core belief in the power of people and relationships to heal and transform. I think that nothing should be labelled as good or bad, right or wrong, it is simply effective and ineffective. Therapy can allow us to find patterns that are no longer serving us, or beliefs that are keeping us from healthy connections with others. I aim to create a safe space, relaxed , empathetic and confidential environment. This positive context helps us explore new ways for your to connect to yourself , and to those you are in relationships with.

Hello, thank you for viewing my profile. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, my goal is to provide a safe, genuine, empathetic therapeutic environment where clients are honored and empowered to explore their emotional world. I work collaboratively with clients to determine therapy goals and implement strategies to promote positive effective change. I work with individuals, couples, and families using an integrative approach drawing from a number of therapeutic modalities tailored to fit client needs. I have extensive knowledge in the field of trauma (attachment, physical, emotional, sexual) and related conditions such as: depression, anxiety, self-harm, low self-esteem and relational challenges.

I strive to provide individuals with ways to explore, cope, and manage concerns of mental health, feelings of being stuck, and family/relationship issues, as well as to find ways to improve on their overall well-being and health. My aim is to collaborate with individuals and families to find solutions on issues that are causing them pain and suffering by tailoring my approach to specific needs. I work with clients from a goal oriented perspective and encourage exploring the meaning behind behaviours, thought patterns, and feelings so as to provide transferable skills both inside and outside of the counselling realm.

As a counsellor as well as an intuitive clinical hypnotherapist, I empower you to remember how great you truly are. You have your answers, sometimes we need a way to see the answers that are right in front of us.

If you are looking to understand yourself on a deeper level and take control of the things that are hurting you, I can help. Whether it be relationships, limiting beliefs, or past wounds that are holding you back, we can work through identifying and processing through them so that you might move forward with more freedom and peace. If you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, shame, fear, irritability, etc, you deserve a place to unpack and get to the bottom of it. It is only when we can understand the root of the problem that profound coping and healing can really begin.

If you're experiencing relationship issues with your partner, such as second marriages, co-parenting, sexual intimacy or infidelity, there is hope, even if you think there is none. Self esteem issues can be worked on, as can issues with your children, family or co-workers! Cognitive behaviour therapy can work well for all of these issues, let me help you make the most of your life! Too busy to attend in person during regular business hours? Zoom sessions are available 7 days a week, from early morning to late evening (booking a few sessions ahead is definitely recommended).

Sometimes, despite all our efforts, we find ourselves on a path that is too challenging or headed off course – what once worked is no longer working, or so much has happened that we cannot find our bearings. I find that clients are looking to feel lighter - they want to process past and present struggles and shift into new ways of relating to themselves and to others. My approach is client-centered, trauma informed, strengths based, emotion focused and experiential. I work with younger and older adults, youth and teens, and parents. I value your time and resources, and believe that change can begin from our first session.

Hello! As your therapist I'm here to help you manage your stress, work through your anxiety and tackle some of life's big questions. I look forward to meeting you soon.

Women of all ages! Are you hitting a wall someplace in your life? Perhaps you are second-guessing your skills or abilities, your relationships or career, your parenting or something else that is resulting in shaky confidence. Does your life lack clarity or purpose? What stage of transition are you in – a new city – an empty nest – a new retiree! Are you facing loss, conflict or resentment? Have you lost your voice – can’t see your path ahead? Do you feel like your life/career/faith is unravelling and long for a safe place to explore your questions or doubts? I can help you step into the next phase and find clarity in your life.

Would you like to be well? I believe most people want to be well, but often lack knowledge or life skills. Equipping people to achieve healthy change is my goal. I have been a professional counsellor for twenty eight years, the past ten in the field of addictions treatment and co-dependency.

Our collective is comprised of both a Counselling Department and Health Department (Holistic Registered Dietitian & Naturopathic Physician).

My work as a therapist is informed by human resilience and our intrinsic drive to heal. I believe that we are oriented towards growth, and the integration of trauma, life experience and pain is the doorway to actualization. I see therapy as a tool for becoming, it is process of unfolding, discovering and meeting yourself. This work can be challenging: struggle is part of the human experience, however, so is transformation, connection, and change. I work closely with those who have experienced trauma, disordered eating and body image issues, and anxiety and depression.

You deserve to be heard and understood. I will meet you wherever you are in your healing journey with an open mind and caring heart. Together, we will shine a light in those dark places and hold safe space for you there – to feel, heal, and navigate the way forward.

Are you ready to live a fuller, more balanced life? Do you want to understand yourself, your needs and wants, and your motivations more deeply?
