Therapists in Kamloops, BC

I am dedicated to helping couples and individuals improve their relationships and overall well-being. I have extensive experience in working with couples to navigate challenging times, overcome obstacles, and create a stronger, more fulfilling bond. My services include individual counselling for those seeking to improve their relationship skills and communication, as well as couples counselling for those who want to work on their relationship together.

I am an RCC and somatic attachment psychotherapist with the BCACC. I specialize in adult ADHD, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, grief & loss, anxiety, and depression. I work with individuals and couples. I strive to provide a counseling space that fosters safety, encourages growth, and supports each individual’s innate healing potential. I value allyship with the Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ communities.​ I focus on long-term healing by unpacking current triggers through finding the root cause which is often linked to deep routed childhood trauma.

I focus my clinical practice on couples & marriage counselling as well as teens & adults experiencing depression, anxiety or other challenges with their mental health. I specialize in completing Views of the Child Reports for parents and the courts. I also specialize in working with families that are experiencing conflict in relationships in the home/school. I have almost 20 years of experience working with teens/youth and adults who have experienced multiple barriers and face situations of oppression and risk.

We believe counselling is about being open and willing about exploring that which is negatively impacting your life. Facing challenges and difficulties takes courage and a belief that something could be different and even, perhaps, better. I aim to create a warm and welcoming space. Here, you are invited to explore your current situation with a focus on how to create a brighter tomorrow. We believe each person has a sense of what is helpful. Personalizing each session, we collaboratively create a plan to move you through this challenge and to a tomorrow with greater freedom. We offer reduced rate counselling with our MACP candidate.

Life can brings unexpected changes: Relationships come to an end; There may be Infidelity, failure, and disappointments. For those who value spirituality and faith there is a loss of hope. Alcohol and/or drug issues take control. If any of this resonates with you it may be a good time to consider counselling. I have a passion for people who struggle with chronic anxiety, aging gracefully, faith issues, addictions, depression, and relationship strife. I also have good understanding of the complicated world of blended families, those who struggle with work/family balance, and men who struggle with gaming/porn addictions.

Are the experiences from your past affecting you today? It can feel lonely and often overwhelming to navigate these things. Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach? Often times, we have had experiences in our childhood that show up in adulthood in maladaptive ways; this can affect how we view the world and cloud our sense of purpose. Maybe you are feeling uncomfortable and cannot pin point why; together we can take a look at your life and identify what is making you uncomfortable and how to find the right tools to start healing. This isn't easy but it is worth it, healing awaits.

I am skilled in trauma, grief, relationship and addiction counselling, and teach many other necessary life skills, which I facilitates through workshops and groups. I help to create a routine that is balanced and transferable into anyone's life. I focus on building self worth and esteem, creating skills for healthy, happy relationships. Empower individuals to live a life free of addictions and behaviours that cause consequences and negative feelings. I encourage people to identify the inner dialogue that persists with negativity, put downs and beliefs that aren't serving them well and replace those with love and kindness.

If you've passed the point of trying to merely alleviate symptoms and want to address the root causes of your struggle, I am a therapist that is ready and able to help you do that. I provide a stable and supportive environment that enables you to “go there” in safety, and I consistently provide opportunities and encouragement for you to do so. My clients find me to be highly insightful, effective in the use of analogies and metaphor to increase self-awareness and self-understanding, empathetic, and easy to be vulnerable with. I am non-judgmental, and possess the ability to both meet people where they’re at and to help them shift.

Do you feel like you don't fit in and/or are watching the world through a window? Does life feel overwhelming and simple errands or hangouts with friends lead you to need a few days to recover? Are you looking to learn more about who you are, what you need to succeed, and how to live within your capacity? You've come to the right place! I work with queer and neurodivergent clients to answer those questions, explore identity, and cultivate relationships that work for you (whether it's a monogamous one or not)!
