Online Counselling for British Columbia

I use Embodied Somatic Therapy, Inner Child Work and Internal Family Systems (parts work) to guide you into a deeper journey where we can explore and integrate trauma wounding. I utilize a holistic approach that weaves together mindfulness, deep trauma work and spirituality.

My approach to psychotherapy is to facilitate the much-needed relational healing space through connectedness and compassion coupled with a very committed journey to find possible remedies of pain and trauma. This is made possible through a unique personalized treatment protocol inspired by cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioural, somatic, relational and spiritual approaches. I make use of the approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Experiencing Techniques, Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programing, various trauma and PTSD treatment methods, attachment and relational approaches in treatment.

12 years in full time practice, 6 years as a peer counselling volunteer. 18 years experience. Since beginning in practice I have logged over 10000+ direct client hours. In that time I have helped a number of individuals, and couples overcome obstacles to their health and well-being.

I collaborate with clients as they develop tools to manage anxiety, increase their confidence in decision-making and managing daily demands, build better relationships, and aim to succeed at school and work. I guide clients in exploring their thinking habits and emotional experience; recognizing their strengths and growth opportunities; and to design and achieve personal, relational, academic, and career objectives. I draw from evidence-based Gottman Couple Therapy Methods with couples, as well as with individual clients interested in developing more effective communication skills and stronger and more positive relationships.

My clients have said "counselling with you feels different". Likely, because it is often matter of fact, to the point, humour infused and honest. I am your biggest cheerleader, but I will hold you accountable, like a needed conversation with an insightful friend.

I’m interested in people’s stories and providing a safe space where we can tell their story in a way that is meaningful and important to them. One of the main goals of counselling is to activate your own ability for compassion, healing, motivation, and hope. I am open to working with people from all walks of life and identities, and I’m interested in hearing about your individual experiences and perspectives. There is no shame or blame in having a tough time or not being sure what you would like to happen in this chapter of your life.

As a counsellor, one is a supporter in a shared experience of learning and growing, with assessments usually being completed by the person being helped. I use questions, storytelling, humour, modelling, and proven methods to raise your awareness of your wholeness and interrelationships within life. I use the healing power of hypnosis for connecting within ourselves: spiritual, mental, physical and mental. I use a two-eyed approach of both modern and Indigenous knowledge with increasing focus into approaches such as parts therapies, Compassionate Inquiry as developed by Gabor Mate, Deep Brain Reorienting, and Psychedelic Studies.
