Depression Therapists in Langley, BC

I look forward to helping clients understand and overcome challenges around navigating difficult emotions, anxiety, ADHD, anger, communication, self-esteem, life changes/transitions, and interpersonal issues (family, friendships, relationships). Whether you are new to therapy and healing or a veteran of the process, I want to work with you.

Do you wish to experience more joy, more love and more beauty in your life, relationships and community? Counselling can be incredibly transformative in breaking painful and unhelpful patterns in our lives and relationships. Healing emotional pain and patterns of being that have become a block to who you wish to be is where I can assist as a therapist. I have witnessed many youth, adults and families experiencing despair and deep hopelessness transform with consistency and support. Each of us has the innate capacity to heal, cope differently and live more from our heart and our truth.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Counselling Art Therapist. I believe that everyone should have access to holistic equity-based counselling. As such, I am passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and validating space for you to explore your mental health and lived experiences through traditional talk therapy with the option of art and the art making process. Sometimes words do not get our important thoughts and feelings quite right, and art can be a great way to explore what lies within. No art experience needed!

I whole-heartedly trust that every individual has the innate ability to heal when met with genuine support in a safe, empathetic, and collaborative environment. Through a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach my hope is to walk alongside you on your wellness journey. My ambition is to foster a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and authenticity to help support you in achieving your unique therapeutic goals. My approach is holistic, person centered, and strengths based. I draw on evidence-based techniques from emotion-focussed, mindfulness, and play therapies.

I believe that therapy is space that can be helpful for anyone and everyone. Some people come to therapy to work through significant life events or traumatic experiences they have been through, while some people come to therapy not knowing where to start or why they want to come but feel like it's time. Whatever your "why" is, I'm glad you're here and I want you to know that my space is open to you wherever you land on this spectrum. My approach to therapy is client-centred, which means that I want to come alongside you right where you are at and in whatever parts of life you want to engage with.

Life is a journey with many ups and downs and sometimes we may feel like we are in a place where we are stuck and feel alone. Sometimes we may just need support in a big decision that we are facing. It can be an extremely difficult place to be when we feel vulnerable and need to reach out for help. Whether you are dealing with the overwhelming stressors and pressures of daily life, parenting or relationship challenges, grief or loss of someone important, or perhaps worried about your your child,I can be there to support and navigate you or your child through this part of your journey in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

Making changes can be hard! Come explore and discover what motivates you and gain self-awareness. My approach is client-centred, strengths-based, and goal-oriented. I've been told I'm relatable, bring warmth, humour, and authenticity to my sessions and I provide a safe space where people can be open about anything (I believe secrets cause sickness). I've also been told I am good at helping with accountability as well. I'd love to work with you to create goals to improve your life, and then build a roadmap to achieve them. "Empathy and unconditional positive regard" (no judgement) is my motto.

When it comes to healing and/or pushing through challenges in life, it is normal to wish for someone to walk alongside you. My approach is guided by the understanding that we, as people, are a walking mosaic of our lived experiences as well as the experiences we did not receive. Whether your area of concern be surrounding mental health challenges, exploring the many parts of your identity that make you who you are, processing traumas, religious deconstruction, or learning new personal skills, I will join you on your journey towards clarity, understanding, and moving forward.

After 50 years in counselling I remain more intrigued than ever by opportunities to support positive growth. At key junctures in life's journey we are confronted with painful experiences that can create the required urgency for needed change. By carefully focusing on a client's unique story I extend an invitation to collaboratively clarify goals and set new directions. I draw from a wide variety of therapeutic approaches but also the life experience gained by being a father of 5, experiencing a diverse and enriching career path, as well as overcoming my own share of adversity along the way.

I believe we all go through struggles and experiences in life where we may need extra support to rise above. I provide an empathetic and holistic approach to building trust and open communication within our counselling relationship. I am also open-minded and am culturally inclusive.

I believe that we ALL have the power to heal ourselves. This means that this power resides in YOU too. If that’s hard to believe, I hope that you will grant yourself the opportunity to discover it. In our work together, I will help you get in touch with your inner strength and inner wisdom. You will be able to heal from past wounds, process the grief that holds you back, deal with your losses, trauma, fear, anxiety, confusion, and other negativity. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to explore your identity, build your self-esteem, and make conscious choices that will help you create the life you want.

You feel like you’re alone drowning in thoughts and comparisons, and nobody can help. Stepping out of your comfort zone and seeking the right counsellor to tackle these feelings is not an easy process, but a necessary one. I hope to be that support person, providing insight, knowledge, compassion and strategies as you move towards a fuller life. I am a true believer that everyone can heal, and I want to help get you there. I also enjoy working with couples as we navigate building communication skills and conflict resolution so that you can feel more connected and able to move forward together.
