Therapists in Kelowna, BC

My clients are regular people who find themselves stuck - emotionally (negative emotions), personally (self-esteem), or relationally (conflict/communication). I work with my clients to help them experience freedom in these areas. My clients get results quickly because I use a proven system guaranteed to get them unstuck. Skeptical? That's okay, because I have a money-back satisfaction guarantee. I offer that because I know that if you can understand the underlying dynamics of your emotions, then change can start during the first session. Free consultation! You have nothing to lose, and only your freedom to gain. Call today!

The quality of our lives is based partly upon the quality of the questions we ask ourselves daily. I hold a core belief in the power of people and relationships to heal and transform. I think that nothing should be labelled as good or bad, right or wrong, it is simply effective and ineffective. Therapy can allow us to find patterns that are no longer serving us, or beliefs that are keeping us from healthy connections with others. I aim to create a safe space, relaxed, empathetic and confidential environment. This positive context helps us explore new ways for your to connect to yourself, and to those you are in relationships with.

You will discover your values & goals, identify how to halt unhelpful thoughts, and gain greater confidence in your ability to be the person you want to be.
