Therapists in Duncan, BC

I love my work! For over 20 years I've been helping individuals and couples create a life they love with proven, measurable, effective and fast methods to break through old patterns, get past limiting beliefs, and create possibilities they never knew existed. This isn't therapy like you've seen it on TV or in the movies, it doesn't have to take years. If you're tired of the "same old, same old" you deserve to feel better.

Hi there! I'm happy to meet with anyone experiencing a wide range of concerns. My areas of interest and experience are anxiety, relationships (romantic, platonic, parental), divorce/separation (co-parenting, step-parenting, parenting time), and peri- and post-partum mental health. I have experience with and work with all age groups from 12 years old and up. If you're not happy with the way you're feeling, you feel "stuck", or you're unsure how to go about communicating or expressing your needs and concerns, we can explore strategies and interventions to help support you with your goals.

Offering professional, compassionate and down-to-earth support as well as on site palliative and generalized counselling by appointment. I also specialize in grief/bereavement work of all kinds.

Clients who seek me out are interested in developing a deeper experience of life. Their journey may be precipitated by depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, but they are often interested in more than symptom relief. They are seeking to develop a stronger sense of self, or an optimized experience of life. This may take the form of becoming the most effective they can be in their personal and professional lives, or it can take the form of embarking on, or continuing, a spiritual search for meaning and connection.
