Emotionally Focused Therapists in Langley, BC

I am not currently accepting new clients directly. However, my student intern is accepting new clients at a reduced rate of $40+GST per session. Do you feel frustrated, sad, lonely or depressed much of the time? Or, do you feel numb and unable to connect with yourself and your emotions? You are not alone. Many people feel overcome by powerful emotions and struggle to manage them on a daily basis; others, have created a system in which they cut themselves off from their feelings and they experience numbness.

My approach aims to empower and motivate clients in the therapeutic process. 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 collaborate with my clients to better understand their life challenges and to develop goals that help you move towards where you want to be.

No issue is too small or too big for counselling! Maybe you are dealing with past or present circumstances that have left you struggling to cope with your emotions, feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed. Perhaps you need help navigating big or small transitions or events in your life; these may be deeply painful or even wonderful, yet anxiety provoking. Struggling with pregnancy/postpartum issues? Maybe you want to develop mind+body health, self-compassion and rediscover your true self. If you're ready to feel heard and supported and you're willing to engage in the counselling process with courage and openness, therapy can help.

Some days life feels extra difficult. You might have difficulty making the connection you want with the people around you; you might face some really hard decisions that seem impossible to make; you might be dealing with anxiety, depression or anything else and just want life to be a little easier. Regardless of your goals, or whether you even have one, I am here to listen and help you figure things out. My mission is to help you recognize the power you hold and make sense of your life in an environment that is safe and respectful to all people on a fundamental level.

Maybe you've been feeling stuck lately & unsure of how to get yourself out of the overwhelm that can easily follow you around. You've been noticing that there are certain patterns of thinking or behaviour that aren't serving you well, but you can't seem to shake them. A part of you wonders if there are things from your past that are impacting how you operate in life today, and you're curious to explore this further. I am passionate about helping people navigate these types of experiences, so that you can find permanent healing & a greater sense of wholeness, allowing you to live a life that feels meaningful & authentic to you.

Currently Accepting New Clients. My role is to help empower you to find new ways to restore balance and wellness to your life. My strongest belief is that we do the best we can with the tools we have. When you find that your tools are no longer serving you, it is my role to help you learn new ways of managing your struggles and understanding your emotions. I believe nothing ever stays the same, as people we are always changing. This constant transformation lends us to have a natural desire to heal. However, at times we can become stuck. I will work with you, to help you, deepen your own insights, and intuition.

I specialize in working with adult men, particularly men who struggle with anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, self-esteem, and expressing their emotions/needs/desires. A particular specialty is with men who identify as a HSP or introvert. I have worked with many young to middle aged adults, including couples, who want a new direction in life and/or who are struggling to adapt to a new stage or transition. If you are looking for support in becoming more aware, empowered, and self-compassionate while you embark on a new path that is more aligned with how you want to live your life, I can guide you along the way.

Life is full of transitions and changes that can be hard to face alone. It could be anything – challenges in school, career growth and planning, family, friends, love, moving, and your mental health. I can provide you with extra support to work through these challenges, where you are given a safe space to share freely with me as I help you move forward in your life. Everyone is made up of unique parts that make them whole, from their life experiences, culture, gender, and even their family histories, which I am respectful of when working with you. I hope to use these parts to help you work on your resiliency and belief in yourself.

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.

I have experience in mental health issues and I enjoy working with individuals with a range of issues and concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma or feeling unhappy with your life. I place great deal of importance on the therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. My approach is warm, empathetic, relational and my goal in counseling is to provide a space in which clients feel accepted, valued and empowered to work through their presenting difficulties. I believe that we all have the power to heal ourselves and sometimes we need some support

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.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. -Rabindranath Tagore. Whether you have tried many therapists, or have never been to therapy, I am comfortable working with people who are skeptical about the counselling process. I bring a trauma-informed lens to counselling to help you work through tricky moments from the past and present that we may or may not be entirely aware of. I have a person-centred approach, which means that I work collaboratively with you, at your own pace.

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.

I enjoy helping people who need support to overcome a variety of concerns such as relationship issues, anger management and anxiety. I believe clients improve faster when they learn the practical skills necessary to help them overcome obstacles to a fulfilling life. I provide practical, step by step interventions to help couples learn to communicate, process fights and affairs and improve the quality of their relationship.

As parents we sometimes feel at a loss as to how to help our child, particularly when they are experiencing difficulties in more than one area of their lives: at school, with friends, regulating emotions, academically, socially or behaviorally. My personal experience and my love for children has helped me to realize that many parents need support and I have a passion for helping children and parents navigate these challenges. It is my belief that it takes a village for total and consistent support to achieve optimum results. I can help with home and school, on what can be a. tough and confusing path.

Everyone experiences situations in their lives when things do not work out as planned or desired. You may be having a difficult time in moving forward without the time, tools and support to do so in a positive way. Our emotional health is equally, if not more, important than our physical and mental health. When we are faced with trauma, our emotional health takes a toll and affects our ability to manage and demonstrate the emotions that arise from what we have experienced. When individuals and family members address and work on issues, which have been buried for years, they are able to achieve a sense of peace, balance and comfort.

Hello! Thank you taking time to view my page. It can be challenging to reach out for support so I truly commend you in taking this very courageous first step. One of the most important aspects in finding a counsellor is to find one who can make you feel welcome, and safe. It is my goal in therapy to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where you can feel comfortable in just being yourself, knowing that you are accepted, no matter what your circumstances may be. I am always humbled by the insight that my clients bring to our sessions. No one client is the same and my treatment strategy is reflective of this uniqueness.
