Psychodynamic Therapists in V1L

There are times in life that can leave us feeling vulnerable and alone - my goal is to come alongside you, so you don't have to feel this way. If you are struggling with guilt, shame, life transitions, anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns, I can help. I also support adults, teens, and parents who are struggling with relationship dynamics, suicidal ideation, or those who have experienced traumatic events.

I work extensively with both individuals and couples in the areas of high/low sexual desire, arousal/orgasm disorders and Erectile Dysfunction, among others.

In-person, Video and Walk and Talk. My passion in life is people, and my personal and professional motto is “Live true. Love deep”. I’m ever intrigued and inspired by the precious and unique journey of each unfolding person—galvanizing that movement towards wholeness and connection is my raison d’être. To this purpose, I bring a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology, 20 years of experience, and advanced studies and certification in Relationships, Recovery, Trauma, Deep Sexuality, and Transpersonal psychology. I work with individuals, couples, and groups to reclaim their full human potential and live their deepest truth.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor living and working in Nelson British Columbia. I believe that developing trust and safety is the most important part of the counselling process. I hold a belief that we all have within ourselves the resources to grow and transform, provided we are given an environment of emotional safety that allows for self-exploration and authentic expression.

Everyone at some point in their lives encounters difficult experiences and I believe everyone can benefit from a non-partial witness to the difficulties life brings. I specialize in issues surrounding depression and anxiety as well as trauma and abuse using mindfulness and somatic-based approaches. I endeavour to collaborate with clients through deep listening, compassionate reflection and evidence based practices to help you shift your responses and make choices to help yourself heal.

I practice counselling from a client-centred holistic perspective. Compassion and curiosity are at the forefront of my approach while supporting the strengths of my clients and their innate healing intelligence. Our therapeutic work will be held in a relational/attachment lens that is trauma informed and engaged with the regulation of the nervous system. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC,) I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology, and my practice is also informed by Emotion Focused Therapy, Process Work, Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, nature-based healing, and nutrition.

I specialise in working with clients who have built a strong identity around their athletic pursuits but are facing a fork in the road – an injury, loss, family responsibilities, loss of interest, burnout – that is causing them to take time away from activity and to question who they are, and who they will be, without this outlet. I offer an non-judgemental space to explore the questions that you might have arising, about what your life means now, how to move through the grief, and how you are going to find your purpose.

If you are struggling with a particular issue, feeling lost in a relationship; intimate or professional, worrying and lacking the motivation to put ideas/thoughts into action, or just generally feeling stuck, I'm glad you are here. Life is complex and doesn't come with clear and definitive guidelines. No wonder we can feel overwhelmed! Sometimes it can just feel like it too much to manage alone. Working in a therapeutic relationship where you are the focus can help you find ways to learn, grow, and heal.

I care about your unique lived experience. I work with teenagers, women, men - with all folks of any age experiencing life challenges. I work with acute stress, identity challenges, relational PTSD, C-PTSD, sexual assault, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and challenges with self-esteem. I'm trained in Narrative therapy, person-centred therapy, trauma-informed practices, and hypnotherapy. I also have practices with Jungian psychoanalysis which can help clients wanting to access, experience, and integrate unconscious material into conscious awareness.

Currently accepting Online Clients! With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with a range of populations and issues; Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Life changes, Interpersonal conflict, Grief, Trauma, Postpartum depression, and many other areas. I come from a client centered philosophy and respect your right to privacy. I am passionate about helping people reach their mental health and wellness goals.

We specialize in working with individuals and couples who are suffering from past and recent trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health and relational challenges. We use modalities such as EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, Somatic Therapies, Internal Family Systems, Psychedelic integration and more. Putting these powerful healing modalities to work towards your well being is our passion. Tap into our expertise and emerge into your potential!

My work involves guiding clients to build a deeper and more nurturing connection to themselves, their loved ones, and their lives. When we feel overwhelmed by stress and/or detached from our outside world, bodies, community, or goals, it can be difficult to find inner resources and nurture unmet needs. I specialize in perceived fragmentations like these which can manifest in many ways, ranging from general feelings of aimlessness, uncertainty, or purposelessness, to the following experiences: depersonalization/derealization, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship conflict, and caregiving challenges.
