I offer trauma therapy to adult clients and older teens. I use my training in EMDR, emotion-focused therapy and nervous system functioning to help clients heal from their past, be better able to focus on the present, and gain motivation for the future. I have worked with adult clients dealing with both recent or prolonged trauma (including childhood trauma). As well, I enjoy working with clients learning to navigate their ADHD/neurodivergence and/or who are struggling with difficult emotions such as anger, sadness or hopelessness. (My services are covered by most insurances, under Clinical Counsellor(or RCC) in your policy).

I help people learn to forgive themselves for the things they had to do in order to survive. I believe that when we feel safe in our body and free from the shackles of our past, we can create our dream reality. By honouring our sensitive nature, and creating a safe space to explore, we can set our inner child free - inviting playfulness, humour, and curiosity to the healing process. We are not what has happened to us, we are who we choose to become. I'm here to help you discover who you truly are on a soul level.

I support people in finding the sparkle, hope, and joy in life again. The weight of the world, trauma, and our personal experiences can sometimes be very heavy, which can lead to depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, feeling numb or feeling burnt out. Counselling with me will strengthen the ways you cope, help you re-story what is going on for you (you are already the main character in your life!), and support you in changing negative or self-deprecating thought patterns.

Are you suffering with depression, anxiety or trauma? Or do you struggle with unrealistic fears, or worry? Maybe you suffered childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or other more recent trauma. If you feel stuck in a rut, and find yourself repeating the same old unhealthy patterns, I can help you to make positive change, transform and heal negative, limiting core beliefs, and move forward into a more fulfilling and satisfying experience of life. If you'd like more peace and contentment in your life, please feel free to give me a call. I offer a free phone consult of up to 15 mins.

Queer and Trans folks are welcome. Hello! I am grateful to be based in the beautiful, unceded, traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples. I want to support you through life’s challenges while celebrating your uniqueness and growth. I bring my lived experience as a Queer person and an authentic, warm nature to sessions so that you can learn how to process emotions authentically, manage anxious and/or depressive symptoms, get support with relationships, and feel safer after experiencing trauma.

Wanting to create a better life rather than settling for status quo, just getting by while filled with anxiety and feelings of hopeless; coping with excess food, drugs or alcohol. It takes courage and tremendous willingness to begin a path of change and it is an honour and a joy to walk with people on their journey toward wholeness. My work with people often leaves me in awe of the strength of the human spirit as I witness them overcome trauma and self-destructive behaviours and move toward their dreams while embracing their authentic self.

I may be the right therapist for you if you have a history of difficult life experiences and want to grieve the related losses, understand the impacts on your life, develop self-compassion, and gain freedom to make choices based on your values in the present rather than on conditioning from the past. You may be struggling with existential issues such as death anxiety, searching for meaning, or dealing with uncertainty, unfairness, and powerlessness. Maybe you are finding life confusing and would like help making sense of it all and figuring out how to cope, feel better, and experience more joy, contentment, freedom, and gratitude.

Today's world is stressful and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by conflict, stress, and everyday pressures. Let me help you find calm and the ability to cope with your own personal stressors.

If you are ready to take these steps, I encourage you to reach out and so we can work together to make the changes you envision in your life.

I have been working as a registered psychologist since 2008. It's important to me to create a safe, caring respectful environment where anyone, no matter who they are, feels welcome. The relationship between us is one of the most important factors in determining how helpful counselling with me will be. Clients often come to me with anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, difficulties with life transitions, and grief or loss. We will work together to develop a plan to deal effectively with the issues that bring you to see me. (Can also contact by Fax: 250.984.0859)

I have been supporting children & youth, and their families for the past 17 years in public education. I facilitate workshops and also do group counselling. I have a strong background in special education, which means I often observe the behaviour(s) of children and youth, collaborate with them and their families, and implement/teach tools for alleviating a child's stress. I have experience as a clinician for Adult Mental Health & Addictions in both inpatient and outpatient care from the hospital. This has benefited early recognition and prevention.

When we work together it will be about supporting you in moving out of ways of being that no longer serve you in a helpful way and into a more connected, aware and preferred place. Collaboratively working to understand and shift the impacts that traumatic events have had on your life and building on your energy levels so that you can feel a deeper sense of ease, belonging and happiness. Be it parenting support, family therapy or individual youth and or adult sessions, together we can create a space that upholds your dignity and highlights your intrinsic strengths as we navigate changes together towards a more preferred sense of you.

You’re a new parent whose relationship before kids is a distant memory. You don’t know how the happy vision of starting a family together turned into arguing about packing diaper bags and lunches and silent evenings on opposite sides of the couch. You don’t have energy to go on a date let alone take care of yourself. In fact, I bet you’re reading this profile during the few moments that your tiny humans are asleep.You’re exhausted, and you don’t know how you will find time to dedicate towards therapy, but you know something has to change. If it doesn’t, you’re worried about the consequences for your relationship or your children.
