Therapists in V0B

Does stress or anxiety or stored trauma in your body interfere with you living with energy and vitality? Does navigating relationships often feel like living in a minefield? Is it a struggle to create positive change and reach life-affirming goals? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can help.

New clients welcome! I offer in person sessions in my Cranbrook, BC office. We can work together to collaborate on what would be meaningful for you to work through and process. I am a psychotherapist who believes that love and our connection with others (and especially ourselves) is crucial for our well being. Love heals. Our connectedness to ourselves and others can become frayed for various reasons. I have the flexibility and years of experience to make the therapy experience what you need it to be. I am trained in and use neuroscience informed and mind/body approaches as well as EMDR, ACT and CPT.

If you have found this page, you might be seeking counselling perhaps for the first time, or maybe you are returning after some time away from counselling. Whatever your journey, our counsellors at Kootenay Women's Counselling & Wellness are here to support you, listen to you, and accept you wherever you are in your journey. You can expect counselling to start like any relationship, asking questions, getting to know each other, and your therapist seeking to understand your story and your unique needs.

I enjoy working with clients who want to make positive changes in their lives, through the process of being vulnerable and accepting that we as humans are not perfect. As we know, the best results come from those who put the work in. That being said, homework is part of the process with this type of researched-based therapy. The purpose of the homework is to help you work on and gain new skills that will benefit you throughout your life. Each visit will consist of a routine outcome measure to monitor your progress and help you determine when you are ready to graduate from therapy.

The issues that I deal a lot with are trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. My ideal client would want to create goals and strategies that can help produce change in their lives. I have found that creating a safe space, where collaboration, openness, mutual trust, and self-awareness can lead to an attitude of change and a willingness to do so.

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of the human spirit to grow, heal, and bloom. My specialties include chronic pain and illness, grief and loss, body image and identity, life transitions, pet loss, anxiety and depression, and relationship issues. I offer both individual and relationship therapy.

I believe in the mind-body connection, and how distress impacts how we show up in our lives & relationships. I trust clients instinctively know what to do to feel better, and that I spark their insight by allowing someone to first feel heard and understood. Clients and I often explore how to take the charge out of distressing emotions and/or experiences that underlie their presenting concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, work/life/relationship stressors etc).

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. Together we have worked on various concerns including, but not limited to, depression and anxiety disorders, addiction concerns, grief including loss of health, employment, death or injury of a loved one and relationship issues. In my practice, I offer professional and confidential services that encourages people to realize their strengths and expertise in their own lives. Everyone has a different “right” way of doing things, so I take the role of the facilitator to help people gain greater insight into their concerns.

We all experience pain, joy, suffering, and growth in our lives, and a lot of it happens in relationships. I believe that the counselling relationship can be very powerful in giving us opportunities to experience healing and growth. As a counsellor, I aim to provide you with acceptance, support, and understanding in order to help you work toward better mental health and well-being. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and I have experience with a wide range of clients from working at Child and Youth Mental Health, Community Services, and private practice. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families, parents, and couples.
