Therapists in V1T

Currently Accepting New Clients. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering counselling services to adult clients who are struggling with mental health issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, etc.) as well as clients who have experienced trauma. I have extensive experience working with client's diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and survivors of narcissistic abuse. I work with client's in individual, group, family/couple's sessions. My approach to counselling is client-centered and eclectic, where the client and I work together collaboratively in choosing which therapeutic approach is best suited for their needs.

Have anxiety, depression, addiction, isolation, anger management issues, self-harm, or suicide ideation left you feeling concerned about the quality of your life? Perhaps you’ve struggled to resolve these issues on your own, to no avail? Are you ready to take 100% responsibility for your life and committed to making the necessary changes? Due to my own inter-generational trauma, I have a first-hand understanding of where you are in your life’s journey. I’d like you to know that the act of reaching out for help is a deeply courageous act, especially for most men, as most of us are conditioned to self-isolate and suffer in silence.

I have been helping children, youth, adults and families in the Thompson-Okanagan region for over 8 years. I have worked with many vulnerable populations including people experiencing homelessness, concurrent mental health disorders, active addiction, job loss, intimate partner violence, and child abuse. My approach to counselling is always compassionate, non-judgemental, collaborative, and anti-oppressive. During our time together, I will pull from various counselling modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solutions-based therapy and mindfulness-based therapy, depending on what works best for you.

I specialize in the treatment of a variety of mental, emotional and behavioural issues, including anxiety, stress, grief, loss and trauma.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) I offer counselling to adults, youth and families with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues.

As a queer trans person, I use an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, intersectional framework, supporting the queer, trans, kink, and non-monogamous communities in unpacking identity, sex and relationship issues, emotional dysregulation, trauma, depression, anxiety and addiction.

I believe that each of us (from children, preteens, teenagers, young adults, adults, parents, and up) has within us the ability to learn to deal with life’s stressors and manage the way we deal with the trials and tribulations that life brings our way. As a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and co-worker, I bring to my practice a blend of lived mental health/life experience, education and a holistic approach while maintaining the philosophy that we’re all capable humans and don’t have to go through difficult times alone.

I am a registered social worker with a master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology. Seeking counselling is usually motivated by discomfort. You may be experiencing feelings of deep sadness or anger bubbling below the surface. Perhaps you can’t quiet a ridiculously busy mind or obsessive thinking. It could be a physical manifestation—chronic aches and pains, difficulties with your partner or an intense nightmare you can’t shake. Whatever the motivation for reaching out, it is possible to feel better and live the life you love. My unique education offers a fresh perspective and keen insights into the difficulties of being human.

Helping families, individuals and children through difficult experiences has been my career's focus for over 25 years.

Imagine feeling it in your bones that change is possible. How you relate to yourself, others, and life - can change. I want to work with people who are courageous and fearful and unsure. When we have limiting stories of ourselves it can be helpful to have someone else, a professional, hear us - see us- and want to show another way. I will not look away from your shadow, and I do not fear trauma or big emotions. You are so much more than what you've done, your body, and your worst thoughts.
