EMDR Therapists in Surrey, BC

Let me guess, there's a part of you that wants to try out counselling and another that is skeptical of whether it will work. Perhaps you tried it before and it seemed like a waste of time and money. As a skeptic myself, I'm amazed at the inner healing I've experienced after finding the right counsellor! As a trained trauma therapist, my aim is to connect with you on a deep level so you can feel safe, seen and secure in each session. Together, we can come up with a plan to achieve your goals and work through your deepest issues, whether that be unresolved PTSD, trauma, addiction, grief, anxiety, or depression.

Do you feel angry, tired, confused, overwhelmed? Are you dealing with loss or struggling with relationships? As a wellness practitioner of 10 yrs, immigrant, parent, person of color, I know how hard it is to navigate life's challenges alone. As EFT trained couples therapist and certified trauma specialist, I help my clients build safe and healthy relationships and heal from traumatic life experience. I support in processing trauma, setting boundaries, understanding patterns/emotions and dealing with anxiety/ depression. I have lived struggles and clinical training to deal with C-ptsd/ADHD/OCD, family conflict and parenting.

Hello and welcome. :) Therapy can provide you with new perspectives on life issues, new possibilities, opportunities for growth and change, and release from suffering. Whether life has thrown an unexpected challenge your way, you are struggling in relationship, or with individual concerns, counselling can be of great assistance. With 30 + years of experience and training working with adults, adolescents, first responders and critical incident stress debriefing I have a myriad of tools, techniques, and therapeutic specialties to utilize in ensuring your choice to enter therapy with me will be one of the best decisions of your life.

Have you ever wondered: How much of my problem is me generated and how much is other people or circumstances? You know you are responsible for making changes in your life and yet things happen that make that change seemingly impossible. How can I change my private self and how I relate outwardly? Can I move from victim to survivor, from bully to challenger from rescuer to supporter even when the world and those around me don't cooperate? It's a question worth exploring. Spoiler Alert! It's very possible!

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.

Often my clients are wanting to explore a personal issue/problem/feeling that won't go away and is starting to affect almost every part of their life. Advice from friends or family isn't helping and nothing else they have tried has worked. They believe there must be a better way to be but somehow they are just stuck. I can help you tackle your issues, get unstuck, and find that better place. Both personally and professionally, I can attest to the power of awareness as a key factor in facilitating a desired change; We can’t find the truth listening to our own voice’s echo. We can find ourselves only in someone’s mirror”(Rumi, n.d)

Do you value relationships and feel you would like to be more confident in yourself? Our challenges can be our greatest teachers but they may feel overwhelming when we try to face them alone, especially if we have suffered through trauma. If you have emotional injuries in need of healing or a relationship you wish to bring closer, by exploring these issues we may uncover hidden resources and new possibilities. We may work through unconscious beliefs or hidden traumas along the way. By supporting ourselves in new ways, we can free ourselves from old fears and become more of who we truly are.

My clients are Men, Woman and Teenagers. They are Fathers and Sons and mothers and daughters. My clients are Business Executives and hard working employees. My clients are partner, husbands and wifes. Each is courageous and desires change. They each responded to the questions: Are you stuck? Is your life out of control? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you wish your life had more purpose? Does your current situation feel hopeless? Is your relationship unfulfilling? If you desire change I can help.

Are you a teen or young adult struggling with anxiety or stress or depression? Not sure how to stop those anxious thoughts? Perhaps you are in your adult years, struggling with trauma. I am here to help support you, giving you resources and tools to heal.

I am passionate in working with adolescents and adults through a variety of different issues, including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, addiction, and psychosis. I am grounded in a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed perspective and believe in each individual's innate desire to heal and move towards their life goals. I acknowledge the unique experiences that each person brings to the counselling process, and find it a privilege to be included in your journey.

I work with post-trauma injuries that are accumulated over time. My specialty is treating post-trauma injuries (PTSD) that are accumulated over multiple incidents seen within first responder populations and health care professionals. I also work with survivors of childhood trauma. If you are experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, agoraphobia, hyper-vigilance intrusive thoughts or images I use EMDR to treat these symptoms. I help you get your life back so that you can connect confidently again with your loved one. Sometimes my clients just need a safe place to make sense of what has happened to them. If that's you I am here to listen.

My approach to counselling is a psychodynamic, person-centred, and trauma-informed approach. The psychodynamic approach can help us gain new insights into our lives, and by integrating art into the session, it can become a powerful mind-body-oriented resource for individuals to look into themselves, and at their concerns, from a different angle.

I am in the business of helping people become themselves. In other words, I think that every person has a unique and beautiful core self that holds the blueprint for a deeply fulfilling and meaningful life. However, life can be painful and sometimes we need to move away from who we are in order to survive. It is my passion and joy to meet people in these places, work towards understanding our defenses, and together move towards whatever lies beneath. I’m honoured that you would consider inviting me to join you in this journey. I consider it a sacred privilege to discover what it means to live fully and freely.

Stress levels, anxiety and depression, anger, grief/loss, feelings of distress and relationships are impacted daily. Counselling can help you to feel physically and emotionally better, you can find relief. By exploring a new understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and processing your experiences, healing happens. 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.
