Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Langley, BC

When it comes to healing and/or pushing through challenges in life, it is normal 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.

Life can be full of challenges and uncertainty that can be hard to navigate. These challenges and uncertainties may bring up unwanted feelings or thoughts that could have lasting impacts on your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental counselling environment where we can work together to help you manage these changes and progress forward. In my work with you, I believe that you are the expert of your own life and have the inner strength to foster positive change. I meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, grief&loss, life transitions or other life challenges? Take the first step towards healing through evidence-based strategies, and the deep work of core emotional processing. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, warm, compassionate, and uniquely understanding. During my career, I have been profoundly honoured to witness and help guide my clients to not only heal, but thrive and grow into their authentic selves.

My deepest privilege is to come alongside you, listen as you share your story, and begin to help understand what happened to you. Past experiences shape some of how you view and process life experiences today. Your past informs your present. I can help you explore those experiences, how they have affected you in the past and now in your current relationships, behaviour or thought patterns, and even how you perceive yourself, your kids, or your partner. Exploring some of these things together may open the door to curiosity, self-compassion, and also bring meaning and healing to your life. You will begin to notice you feel more "you".

The process of self-learning and connecting to our stories to make sense of our experiences, can be challenging and uncomfortable. In this journey, we can experience many difficult realties. You may find yourself lost and overwhelmed, while carrying the immense heaviness of these struggles. Therapy can be a transformative tool to support you in this journey. It would be my profound honour support you in fostering healing, self-awareness, and making space for your collective emotions so that you may engage in life with a larger capacity. My intention is to provide a safe therapeutic space where your voice is supported.

I offer support to people who are struggling with anxiety, burnout, return to work, PTSD, substance use, unrealistic expectations, self defeating behaviors and relationship difficulties. These symptoms may be rooted in trauma, abuse or wounds from the past or you may be experiencing them for the first time; no matter your circumstance, I am here to listen. When you are struggling, you may experience feelings of overwhelm, hopelessness, shame, guilt or exhaustion. This can feel incredibly lonely and destabilizing, it may feel like the joy has been lost in your life.

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.

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.

Do you feel stuck not knowing how to improve your relationship? Do you feel like you're constantly having the same fight and it never feels resolved? Whether you are looking for a relationship tune-up, or you’re feeling hopeless about your relationship after a betrayal, I am here to help. Research has repeatedly shown that the relationship you have with your counsellor predicts the success you experience in counselling. This is why I prioritize creating a non-judgmental, empathic environment where both partners feel heard. Instead of taking sides between the two of you, I take the side of the relationship.

My passion is the journey back to the authentic self - free, embodied, and full of life. My approach is informed by mindfulness , Buddhist psychology, and contemplative practices. The human journey includes painful experiences. There can be unbearable tension between the harsh limits of life and our deep longings for freedom, connection, and wellbeing. It was my own experiences of pain, confusion, disconnection, and feeling stuck that first led me to the world of the therapeutic process. There I discovered a sense of inner connection. When the mind, body, and spirit are in harmony there is a sense of inner space, ease, and trust.

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.
