Many extended medical plans in British Columbia cover counselling from a registered clinical counsellor (RCC). I provide a receipt to clients who then submit it for reimbursement to their insurer.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or any of the other effects of trauma (both the little "t" stuff and the Big T stuff). I believe in going gently into this tender terrain and collaborate with clients to find a personalized approach that might include talking about issues to gain insight and also using more experiential somatic interventions that bring relief.

In your first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and then collaborate on the therapeutic approach that best suits you. Thanks to specialized trainings, I have a significant tool box of therapeutic interventions from talk therapy approaches to more body/somatic approaches like OEI (which involves the eyes), Lifespan Integration Therapy, and Somatic Internal Family Systems.
