Therapists in Rossland, BC

Compassion and authenticity are at the forefront of my practice. Providing a safe space for clients is crucial for successful therapeutic outcomes. I work from a person-centred, holistic perspective. I value empowering my clients by bringing them into awareness of their innate strengths and using them as part of our treatment plan.

It is seeming all too normal these days to experience feelings of disconnection. A separation from ourselves, our passions, our bodies, our communities, etc. We spend so much time in our heads trying to figure out how to survive when we so desperately want to be thriving. Where has our aliveness gone? How do we get our bodies and our senses back online and truly show up for our unique experience?

Now accepting clients across British Columbia. Helping people feel empowered through emotional healing is my passion. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I work with individuals and with couples/relationships. My intention is to help you— or you and your partner— find the inner strength and resilience that is already there. I know what it’s like to encounter obstacles, to feel stuck-at times very stuck— and to work through it, with all the frustrations and surprises that might bring. With intention, wisely chosen resources, and support, what you dream is possible to bring about.

You really can have a life of life of abundance, peace, and joy! My goal is to create a safe place to support you in gaining self awareness of your strengths and collaborate with you to find solutions to your problems. Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk, I can’t wait to hear from you!

Are you looking for a counsellor who is open to see what you see? I am here to align with you as we look at how to find the right answers specific to you. Whether you struggle with anxious thoughts, periods of despair, difficulties with your relationships or just feel generally unhappy and restless, or perhaps life has thrown a curve-ball that is out of your control and traumatic to integrate, I believe the wisdom of our bodies can be utilised so that you can find resonant and usable techniques to change your life. I know that inner peace and healing are absolutely attainable and I am excited to walk with you as you find a new path.

Whether you are struggling with symptoms of trauma, overwhelming stress, or illness, I am here to offer you a secure and confidential space to share your thoughts, feelings, and story openly and honestly. I am a non-judgmental listener with the earnest intention to help you navigate life's ups and downs. I am trained in a broad range of both evidence-based and holistic therapy modalities. My hope is to help you realize that healing, peace, and inner strength are all well within your reach.

I work in collaboration with clients to uncover strengths, abilities, resources, and meaning. I believe the discovery of purpose and hope can lead to increased wellness. I prioritize the creation of a safe, warm, and empathic therapeutic relationship in which my client is the expert. I utilize solution-focused interventions, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and strength-based modalities. I am an EMDR trained therapist. I am trained in Gottman levels 1 and 2 couple's counselling and emotion-focused family therapy core 1 and 2.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Does it feel like it takes too much energy to just get out of bed? Do you want to feel you have more control of your life? For the past 15 years I have supported Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, youth and adults with issues related to anxiety, depression, substance use, grief and loss, sexuality, social struggles, and trauma related to residential schools. I am passionate about helping you overcome obstacles to the success in life that you want and deserve. I believe that healing is a holistic journey that takes all aspects of your life into account, and doesn't focus on only one part or symptom.

My non-pathologizing approach to counselling means that I never see the client as the problem - the problem is the problem and I use this approach in every aspect of the counselling journey. The client that seeks me out is looking for help over life-controlling problems that are impacting their life in very disruptive ways. They are seeking to discover who they are and to find healing from trauma that continues to be disruptive to a fulfilling life. They are often trying to navigate the complexities of various relationships in their lives while establishing for themselves healthy boundaries and learning how to respect their 'no'.
