Are you considering separating from your partner because trust has been deeply violated? Are you scared of losing your relationship and want to reconnect with your partner? We begin with a process of healing that honours the truth of your experience. Where there is disconnection, we create emotional space to be understood. Where there is a cycle of conflict, we build structure that makes productive conversations possible. Together we work towards a relationship that is honestly repaired or consciously redefined. I also specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and substance use.

For people who are therapy-curious, or determined for change, or wanting to try something different: you set the pace, I meet you there. My own recovery from complex and intergenerational trauma is the backbone of why I do this work—I wanted others to have a different experience of safety and connection than I did. I work with people navigating Complex PTSD (CPTSD), trauma, and identity or cultural fragmentation who feel disconnected from themselves, their bodies, or relationships. My approach is down to earth - trauma-informed, somatic, and relational, integrating EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, parts work, and narrative therapy.

While I support all individuals, I specialize in treating veterans.
Are you looking for someone you can be real with—someone who doesn’t just nod or offer clichés, but helps you look deeper? Maybe you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in a life phase, relationship, or work pattern that no longer feels right. I believe growth happens when we’re brave enough to get curious about ourselves and face the hard truths with compassion. We’ll explore what’s holding you back, rediscover your strengths, and create sustainable change that feels authentic, empowered, and wholly yours. The process will help you shed what doesn’t feel true to you anymore and nurture the best parts caringly.

It is important to feel seen and understood. There are lifestyle choices that often don't get the support they need because of the stigma created around it. My lifestyle may mirror those needing that empathy and compassion, having been a serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces for 20 years, being Indigenous, LGBTQ and a single parent and belonging to several other communities which face stigmatization because of the way we live.

I work primarily with members of the queer and trans communities, and with those who are navigating polyamorous relationships, kink relationships, and power dynamics. I also work with individuals navigating family relationships, communication, boundaries, body shame, and substance use. My approach to counselling is rooted in curiosity, humility, and an appreciation for the complex interplay between a person and their environment. I want to co-create an environment of curiosity, care, and humour where you are able to explore and articulate your wants and needs for yourself, and work with you to support you in meeting them.

It is my life goal to help people overcome adversity and live fulfilling, joyful lives. As a queer woman with lived experience in alternate relationships and familial arrangements, I seek to bring an inclusive, anti-oppressive and social justice lens to my practice. As a yoga instructor and practitioner, I bring a holistic and mindful approach to my work. My primary approach is AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), which emphasizes 'undoing aloneness.' I deeply value the somatic and relational aspects of AEDP that help us to move through overwhelming emotion, stress, or stuckness that happen in our lives.

Hi, I’m Rod. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP), a member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and a member of the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BC Division).

Whether you’re a teen trying to make sense of what’s happening, an adult feeling stuck or burnt out, or a family seeking more connection, you don’t have to do it alone. I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
