Therapists in V1T

Many of us feel stuck in our daily lives, not knowing exactly how to get the progress that we want. Depression, anxiety, and trauma can hold us back from where we deserve to be and can negatively affect our well-being and relationships. Children and youth may need some guidance and help navigating different life transitions. No two people are the same and it is my goal to help you recognize your own unique strengths, integrating a case-specific approach to create your unique therapy plan. I am here to offer mental health support in a non-judgemental, friendly, and compassionate space.

Tired of feeling Stuck, Alone, or Hopeless in your relationships? Having the same old arguments, living separate lives together, or constantly failing in relationships? Specialized Relationship Counselling will teach you how to stop the pain. Learn instead to break frustrating barriers and painful relationship dynamics so you experience Joy and Connection instead. Learn skills necessary to grow closer over time, not drift further apart. Feel loved and appreciated, connected and supported, valued and respected, heard and understood. Feel confident that you can get through anything together because you have a strong foundation.

I'm here to help you examine the issues and concerns you have about your thoughts, fears, behaviours, habits, work, and relationships. I especially enjoy assisting people who feel "stuck" to understand the mechanics of what helped get you stuck, and how to get moving again. My area of particular focus is relational issues, whether they be with friends, romantic partners or prospects, co-workers, family, etc.

I have a Bachelor and Master's Degree in Social Work from UBC and over 23 years experience helping others with mental health, addictions, and relationship issues in a variety of health care, community and social service settings. When you come in for counselling support, I start by creating a relaxed atmosphere where you feel safe and reassured that you've found someone who can help you truly face the issues you're experiencing. Sometimes, the stress of life can be overwhelming and your world becomes very narrow.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or like you just can't get control over your feelings? You are not alone. Feelings of sadness, anxiousness, insecurity, anger, stress or shame can be overpowering. We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can share your story and work to find solutions. We use an integrated approach that adjusts to your individual needs to help you find relief. Using a variety of techniques, we can help you reach your goals and experience a lifelong transformation.

I take a holistic and person-centered approach in which I focus on your strengths and goals to build your resilience and lead to a more satisfying life.

Helping families, individuals and children through difficult experiences has been my career's focus for over 25 years. I utilize child-centered play/art therapy, sand tray work, emotional regulation, cognitive behavioural therapy and rational emotive behavioural therapy. These strategies allow children and adults to reveal their anger, fears sadness or frustrations in order to better understand and express themselves. My holistic and creative approach allows clients to feel comfortable, heal, overcome obstacles and embrace positive changes that can ultimately create a more satisfying quality of life.
