Emotionally Focused Therapists in Langley, BC

As a therapist, I offer you a professional relationship that is deeply accepting and non-judgemental, but also objective and truthful. The issues that bring you to therapy likely started in the context of relationship, and so need to be healed in relationship. My expertise is in creating a specific type of relationship with you, that catalyzes healing and change. In this process you will discover your capacity to trust again, to have connected, satisfying relationships, to stabilize emotionally, and to care for yourself again.

Hello! Thank you taking time to view my page. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and have had the privilege of working with individuals for over 2 decades in a variety of settings. I have extensive experience in working with OCD, anxiety, and trauma including those who experience child abuse and neglect and adult trauma.

My approach aims to empower and motivate my clients towards their desired outcomes. I believe that people can reach their full potential under the right conditions. I hope to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to express your feelings and unpack your story. I value diversity and uniqueness and tailor treatment plans to best fit you as an individual.

Navigating life’s challenges alone can sometimes be overwhelming. However, with the right support and guidance, you can gain the tools you need to overcome obstacles and live a happier, more fulfilling life. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. Whether you are facing a difficult transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to help you navigate these challenges and find solutions that meet your individual needs.

Do you feel unsettled, worried or stuck? Do you have a sense that you are in a rut, created from doing the same things over and over, and not getting different results? Maybe you feel unsatisfied in your relationships, or that your life lacks meaning? Exploring these dark places alone feels terrifying, but healing comes when you connect with someone you trust. Sometimes the small shifts create a ripple through your life that changes how you see yourself and how you relate to others. When you are not walking the road alone, you feel resourced with a greater capacity for healing and growth.

People often seek counselling when they find themselves stuck in vicious cycles related to their relationships, their behaviours, or their self-talk. Much of my work involves helping people to break free from these cycles, and move towards a more fulfilling and peaceful life. I specialize in working with anxiety/panic, relationships, and disordered eating/body-image. I also have a special interest in helping first responders.

Crossroads Collective is focused on healing individuals from a collective viewpoint. Our health care clinic offers a wide variety of services that clients can use simultaneously. When you come to our Crossroads Collective we aim to help you heal your body and your mind, whether it be by choosing to use our Counselling, Massage Therapy or Acupuncture services. We Can Help. Crossroads Collective Clinic’s vision is to be able to offer multiple therapeutic services at one location. Our goal is to look at the client from a client-centered approach and have multiple therapists working to create a recovery plan for our clients.

Are you feeling lost, sad, or unhappy? Maybe I can help. I have a strong interest in working with adults who are experiencing relationship breakdown of all sorts, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, divorce/separation, difficult childhoods, and dysfunctional families of origin. I also welcome the opportunity to work with individuals who are struggling with mental health concerns and other life challenges, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and autoimmune disorders.

My philosophy of counselling is strongly influenced by my Christian worldview and my motivation to help others. I draw primarily from Person-centered, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and existential therapeutic approaches. In my practice I work with youth and adults to treat depression, anxiety, past trauma, relationship conflict, career change, and other life transitions. An overarching theme of my practice is working alongside clients to help them gain a greater sense of meaning and purpose in their lives.

I have been a practising therapist for 43 years! Yes lots of experience but still lots of energy and enthusiasm! I have a wealth of experience form working in treatment centres, the BC Coroners Service as a consultant and of course my multi disciplinary private practise. I still love my work and look forward to continuing with helping clients with their issues and challenges.

You may find yourself dealing with challenges that have altered the structure of your life, as you knew it before. When things around us change, we can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the unknown and not feel prepared to adjust to new realities. These factors can trigger different emotions making us feel stuck or not able to move forward. My area of focus is diverse and includes; anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, loss, unexpected life changes, crises, relationship issues, difficult family dynamics, health challenges, work, and school stress. My aim remains steadfast in helping clients find healthy ways to cope.

Living in and relating to our bodies in a healthy, comfortable way can be especially difficult in this day and age, given the countless messages and pressures we experience. How we feel living in our body may effect a wide range of areas in our life, including mood, self-esteem, behaviours, and relationships with others. My approach to counselling focuses on helping my clients understand and improve the way they relate to their emotions, to their thoughts, to their body, to their self, and to others.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person.

As a licensed and experienced therapist, I specialize in helping individuals, families, and couples of all ages to develop effective strategies for managing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting challenges.

“My ideal client is focused upon personal growth and healing.” Your story, your pain and your collection of struggles and memories are unique to you, so let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. Let me be there to help and guide you through your life transitions and adapting through changes. I can help! I have experience in Play and Art Therapy, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Grief Therapy, and applied behaviour intervention.

Therapy can be exciting but also a challenging step for many of us. Sometimes we feel we unheard or misunderstood, so we give up on working through those issues. Other times, our experiences may seem too painful or impossible to deal with, so we continue to ignore or push problem away. We all need support during difficult times. My practice focuses on creating an authentic therapeutic environment to help you through these challenges. Having someone working with you through difficult times can be life changing. I hope you will reach out if you are needing that support and continue on the journey of self-care and healing.

Do you feel a bit wobbly, worried, stressed out, or stuck in repeating patterns that aren’t working for you anymore? Maybe you’re having a tough time navigating through anxiety, depression, or complicated personal relationships. Perhaps you’d like to get better at communicating with the ones in your life that matter the most. You could also be wondering why painful memories from long ago keep popping up and you wonder if there’s a way to make them stop. Facing all of this alone can feel overwhelming, but real healing and change can come when you connect with someone you trust and feel fully safe with.
