Therapists in Maple Ridge, BC

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.

Situations can come up that are overwhelming and debilitating; this does not mean you are weak or lesser than for struggling with your mental health. My approach is to work on a style of therapy most applicable to you. For these reasons and more I don't rely on one tool or model of therapy. My method is to trickle in different areas of psychology simultaneously. If something isn't working for you we implement another strategy. The goal is to get to the heart of what is distressing you and what is preventing you from living a life more in line with your goals and values.

My goal is to help clients to identify their specific challenges and to then come up with real-life solutions to manage their issues.

Life can be difficult and messy but working with a counsellor can change everything. One of the biggest factors of success in counselling is the relationship you build with your counsellor. That relationship is incredibly important to me as we actively work together to facilitate your growth and goals.

Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. If you are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma or you need couples or family counselling, I can support you. You don't have to be alone in this journey.  We can look into the cause of your problems and process the issues that are standing in the way of you reaching your full potential. Let me help you learn useful coping strategies to better manage your stress, anxiety and trauma.

Oftentimes we feel ‘stuck’ as though no movement forward is possible, or that our story is too complex to navigate and find healing from. Through my own experience, and in journeying alongside others, I have come to believe that freedom and life, even in the midst of significant pain and loss is possible. My clinical approach is unique, as I seek to incorporate the spiritual journey of the client, as understood through a Christian worldview, into the therapeutic process. I work using a parallel process of deepening your understanding of Self, and of God as you begin to reflect on your story.

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.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and am located in the community of Pitt Meadows. I provide counselling for individuals experiencing a wide range of personal challenges. Challenges that include anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Sometimes people need the ability to express their real feelings about such difficulties, and I endeavor to provide those I work with the space to to do so, while also exploring ways to better cope with and even resolve their problems.

Our big decisions, stress levels, anxiety and depression symptoms, anger levels, feelings of distress and our relationships are impacted daily. Counselling can help you to feel physically and emotionally better, you can feel relief. By exploring a new understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and processing your experiences, healing can happen. I provide a safe and judgment free environment to encourage clients to explore and process their past and current experiences. I integrate therapy styles, so clients can find healing and strength based on their own preferences. I offer EMDR, CBT, and Mindful based therapies.

Parenting is not an easy task! You love your children, only want the best for them, and have probably tried a whole variety of strategies to help them. Still, your kid and your whole family might be dealing with difficult emotions and challenging behaviour.
