Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in K6V

Choosing yourself can be a struggle. Especially if you’ve been conditioned to choose others since your younger years. It’s never too late to start now and begin to prioritize your own needs. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself or others you are not alone. Therapy is a safe space to restore your mental, emotional, and relational health. I have a deep passion for helping people grieve their losses, process their traumas, celebrate their wins, take their power back, and learn to love and trust themselves after trauma.

I provide support to individuals hoping to improve their mental health, family conflicts and trauma responses. I am passionate about providing support to women navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions and faith/spirituality. ​I also bring valuable experience in working with grief and loss.

At Life + Hope Counselling, we offer a diverse range of treatment options for anxiety, depression, PTSD, Borderline Personality traits, grief, and relational challenges. If you are feeling burdened with stress, anxiety, or past trauma; if you are emotionally overwhelmed with sadness or loss; if you are suffering burnout or are challenged in a life transition; if you are wanting to move into healthier behaviour patterns and relationship dynamics, we would like to help you.

My ideal client is someone who is ready for change but unsure how to proceed. They are courageous by reaching out for help and trusting in being vulnerable to a complete stranger. They are someone who builds trust slowly with me as a professional and who is committed to achieving their goal. They know the road to success will not be easy but they are trusting enough to return for the next session even if the last one ended badly. This client is confident enough to give me their feedback regarding interventions or approaches they didn't enjoy in session.

Welcome! I am glad you are here. Reaching out for support is courageous. Whether you are dealing with stress, trauma, or other mental health concerns, I would be happy to work with you to identify the goals and concerns you would like to address.

Sometimes people get stuck. Individuals and couples come to me for counselling to talk about a variety of problems - things like conflict in relationships, anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, abuse, grief, vocational crisis, or anger. A counselling relationship helps people to move from understanding issues to co-creating solutions - solutions that shrink and manage problems. I use an integrative approach, drawing on different counselling methods depending on what works best for the client, including practices from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and solution-based therapy. I can help you to move through difficult times with courage, accountability, and positive resolve.

How is fear impacting your life? From problems that make you feel paralyzed, to uncomfortable feelings that are difficult to identify, trying to figure it out on your own can be confusing and scary. These feelings can hinder your enjoyment of daily life and future plans. By learning to understand how ADHD, anxiety, or trauma is affecting you, you can begin to see your life in a new way. I offer a nonjudgmental therapeutic lens where you can feel safe to explore your patterns and past. I created Dune Psychotherapy to be a collaborative practice, where we work together to move towards an authentic version of yourself.

I strongly believe in the human capacity for growth and change and that we are all students on life's journey to becoming the best version of ourselves; sometimes we need extra help, support, and encouragement along the way. I strive to provide my clients with a supportive and non-judgemental environment where you can feel safe to explore your personal challenges and issues. I believe individuals do not need to be suffering from a mental illness to seek counselling, but rather have the desire and motivation to be a better version of themselves tomorrow.

Currently accepting new clients, and offering clinical supervision. As your counsellor, I will work with you to create and nourish a safe environment.

All too often, when we experience painful thoughts, feelings or sensations we react in ways that are self-defeating and self-destructive. Over time, these habitual reaction patterns can manifest in a variety of ways such as anxiety, depression, phobias, disordered eating or addiction. Psychotherapy can help you with the immediate problem or situation you are facing. More importantly, it can help you gain insight as to the root cause of your emotional pain, to come to a place of self-acceptance and self-compassion, and to adopt positive coping skills in order to live a more engaged and meaningful life.
