Therapists in Duncan, BC

I am a warmhearted and respectful professional with over 18 years of counselling experience. I offer individual, child, teen, parent & family counselling with a safe, therapeutic, and non-judgmental lens. I use a variety of counselling approaches, such as CBT, Trauma-informed and Psychodynamic Therapy to suit your circumstances, experiences, and preferences to create a respectful and empowering approach to the work together. I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am a Registered Counsellor Provider with the BC Crime Victim Assistance Program, First Nations Health Authority and Humanacare EAP.

We all have the power to rediscover our authentic selves after being shaped by the cultural pressures of the Western world. My approach emphasizes personal empowerment and a focus on wellness. I am currently offering virtual sessions and would love to hear from you. Feel free to connect for a quick consultation.

Have you spent your entire life trying to get over your childhood? Do you deal with crippling anxiety, PTSD, crushing depression, severe sleep problems, or struggle with ADHD? My professional area of interest, and my expertise, is in helping people deal with the aftermath of trauma. I offer neurofeedback in-office. Neurofeedback reduces or eliminates symptoms that block your ability to live life to the fullest. Severe trauma--residential school survivors and their families, war veterans, those with histories of childhood abuse--may need two to three 20-session blocks.

I help those who have addiction issues, general mental health problems, and relationship problems. The needs that I seek to help them with are organizing their thoughts, combatting negative thought patterns, and making a plan of action for practical ways that will help their situation. They are ultimately seeking peace because that is a state of mind where one can feel the most free.

Are you feeling overcome with stress, anxiety and depressive feelings? Do you find yourself suffering from negative self-talk that contributes to a lack of self-esteem and confidence? Are you lonely, even with people all around you? Do you long to connect with meaningful relationships? Do you find yourself looking for escapes with addictive processes? If this sounds like you, I would love to help you connect to your authentic self by overcoming the negative lens that has been built throughout your life by what others have said, feelings of disapproval, traumatic experiences, societal and cultural conditioning.

When working with you, my main goal is to be supportive and empower you to cultivate your inner strength and feel an increasing sense of success in your daily life. ​I believe that everyone has inherent strengths, yet sometimes, these strengths are not fully actualized as they may be impeded by negative life experiences, such as grief and trauma. My areas of focus include mental health assessments of children, teens, and adults, and counselling with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
