Medavie Blue Cross Therapists in Kelowna, BC
Perhaps you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in the same relationship patterns, or disconnected from the people around you. You may be struggling with self-esteem, loneliness, intimacy, grief, or an important life transition. Or perhaps nothing is "wrong," but you find yourself asking deeper questions about who you are, what you want, and how you can create a more meaningful life.
Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and better understand yourself. Together, we can explore the emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be keeping you from living the life you want.

Is the weight of past experiences holding you back?
Strong emotions, overwhelming memories, and chronic stress can quietly shape daily life, even when you’re doing your best to move forward. Unresolved trauma often shows up as anxiety, depression, addiction (whether substance or behavioral), and other painful challenges that can leave you feeling stuck.
Whether you're new to therapy or seeking a fresh approach, I offer a supportive space for healing and growth. I have extensive experience working with RCMP members, veterans, and others whose lives have been shaped by high-stress or traumatic environments.

Being authentic means that you can live according to what you care about and do what you are good at. It involves knowing yourself, recognizing pressures to be a certain way (from inside and outside), and acting in a way that is consistent with your values.
When you can't be authentic it can lead to feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or avoidant. This can result from messaging and roles put on you growing up, from a traumatic experience, being in relationships where you feel pulled to be a certain way, not being validated, or not having had the opportunity to figure out who you are.

70 years of life experience has been my best teacher (even though I have all the necessary professional training.) I have experienced loss when 2 spouses passed away from disease. I have won my own battles with cancer and addiction. I have raised 4 children, 2 step children (some with special needs) and now enjoy 12 grandchildren. I treat anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and anger by addressing the root of the problem - trauma. I am trained in EMDR, which is useful in healing PTSD (both childhood and adult trauma). Within minutes (not months) the pain of trauma may be permanently erased and people are less triggered in life.

Are you considering sex therapy, relationship support, or couples counselling? You may be struggling with a sexual concern, feeling stuck in your relationship, coping with an STI diagnosis, or wanting to explore your gender or sexuality. These things can feel hard to talk about with friends or partners, but you don’t have to go through them alone. I can support you with low desire or sexual dysfunction, easing conflict, improving communication, and building more fulfilling relationships. I also support with survivors of sexual trauma, those struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours, and people seeking gender-affirming care.

Waitlist for new clients
I have been counselling for more than 30 years. I want to inspire you to create and live your best life. Are there ideas you hold or patterns you have that are holding you back? I strive to collaborate with you to find limitations or blocks and build a positive framework for finding your way through what may be a difficult time. Sometime we need to evaluate our thought patterns, our boundaries, our guilt, and our limited thinking to reveal what we truly need to find happiness. I want to help you find the strength to build your vision of harmonious relationships, a career with passion, and a life which feeds your soul.

Burnout? That's my bread and butter.
I work extensively with nurses, healthcare professionals, business and IT professionals, Veterans, and active RCMP members. Most of my clients are high-performing professionals navigating demanding careers while trying to maintain a healthy personal life. When those worlds collide, things can get overwhelming. Burnout often goes hand in hand with anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress—and that's where I can help.

My own journey through illness in my 20's woke me up to the value of our inner world. That a sense of peace and connection to ourselves can give us the strength to face challenging situations and loss. I learned that having a compassionate witness to see yourself through is very empowering and reassuring.

You might feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—overthinking everything, feeling anxious, struggling in your relationships, or questioning your worth more than you’d like to admit.

Blair is a Psychological Associate -Forensic- in candidacy with the Psychological Association of Manitoba, is registered with the CCPA, and teaches sessionally at the University of British Columbia.
Therapy is a way to reconnect the pathway between our awareness of the world around us, the lens we’ve evolved from the inside out, and the physiological state of our bodies. A process that should be fluid and natural can become staggered when we experience loss, crises, confusion, complex relational dynamics, and chronic pain. Often this fragmentation can feel so “normal” that we don’t recognize it until life throws up a roadblock.

Many of my clients come to me after trying multiple forms of therapy, mindset work, health protocols and personal development, yet still feel stuck in the same patterns. What they discover is that their exhaustion, anxiety, or repeating cycles are not failures of willpower. They are signals that deeper subconscious and nervous system layers need to be addressed.
My work blends clinical hypnotherapy, mind–body regulation, emotional processing, and internal family systems work to help clients change patterns at the level where they were originally formed.
