SunLife Therapists in Langley, BC

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.

My foundation of therapy is a biopsychosocial-spiritual model, viewing human beings as whole persons of four aspects: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. Therefore, I am able to see the whole picture on how a brain injury, physical illness, physical trauma, or substance abuse affects human emotions, cognition, behavior, and spirituality, or vice versa. My approach utilizes Cognitive Rehabilitation therapy (CRT), Rogerian therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), and Narrative therapy in order to help my clients toward problem solving and having a new hope for a new life.

Are you an individual who wants to feel better and know where they are going in life? Do you want to learn how to move past those frustrating moments dealing with family issues and develop a great sense of who you are and feel clear about your purpose? Learning about relationships is learning about the part you play so you can develop skills and create more harmony, connect with your inner strengths and resources to create new patterns, and live more fully. I work with you and various therapeutic methods to meet your needs that result in increased strength, creative energy, and skill development so you can feel successful.

The challenges and negative experiences we go through can sometimes leave a negative residue on us and prevent us from living freely. For us to heal from the experiences and struggles we face we must allow ourselves to process our thoughts and emotions so we can truly move past them. I support clients who feel stuck, anxious, and unable to enjoy their present lives.

The effects of the last few years have caused an additional strain on marriages and families. Relationships can fall into negative patterns of disconnection and neglect. It can be devastating when one feels their partner is not there for them. I assist couples struggling with an emotional or physical affair, a life transition, or who feel stuck in their current patterns. I recommend pre-marital counselling as a beneficial way to address any potential challenges. I implement the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused or Relational Life Therapy depending on your needs as a couple.

Are you feeling stuck or unfulfilled in your life, unsure of how to reach your full potential? As a Christian man, you face unique challenges and responsibilities that can be tough to navigate on your own. But you don't have to do it alone. I offer counselling sessions where you can explore your authentic self, tap into your potential, overcome challenges, and create a fulfilling life aligned with biblical values. My focus is on personal growth and authenticity, and I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can confidently explore your inner self and strengths with God’s guidance.

Life can be challenging and although we are often able to cope with the difficulties that come our way, there are times when we can become overwhelmed with our thoughts and emotions. An issue may arise that feels too difficult to manage on our own. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for you to explore whatever issues have brought you to seek support. I will help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-acceptance. It is perfectly normal to reach out for help. We will work together to meet your goals and find solutions that work for you. As a trauma informed therapist, I offer EMDR therapy.

I have been described by clients as being vibrant and energetic and the way I conduct therapy is an action-orientated process. When conducting therapy with my couples I create a positive, comfortable, and humor-filled, environment which is most conducive to learning. It is so gratifying to see couples become excited about their relationships, and to know that I had a part in influencing their relationship in a positive way. I work with couples on many topics, from communication to infidelity. I also enjoy individual therapy working on issues around anxiety, depression, to life transitions.

The largest comfort that counselling can bring is space for connection. Connection back to yourself, your relationships and the world around you. Through the counselling partnership you will have the opportunity to explore your strengths, resiliency and have real conversations about the life you want to create. The counselling experience is tailored to your specific needs in efforts to achieve health, balance and happiness. You set the pace at which you feel most comfortable with, whether that's jumping into the deep end right away and tackling the hard stuff or gently wading in the shallow end. It's your journey & your timeline.

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.
