Existential Therapists in V1P

You may be experiencing concerns related to trauma, family history, relationships, identity development, personal growth, spirituality and sexuality/sexual identity. If so, the process of finding support can be challenging, and it can difficult to know how to find a clinician with a style that best supports you and your concerns. I believe that the first step in the process is to provide a space to support understanding your unique experiences and perspectives.

Are you tired of being stuck? Tired of beating yourself up? Board with the same old strategies that don't work? Are you ready for change? Many people experience times in their lives when they begin to feel overwhelmed and have difficulty coping. Feelings of shame, fear, loneliness, anger and hurt can have us feeling trapped and like we will never be okay. Counselling can often help people to transition to a place of balance, where they are much better able to cope, and not feel as overwhelmed. Not only will they be better able to cope, they can develop strategies that can make their lives more manageable and balanced in the future.

In a confidential & supportive environment I improve peoples quality of life by helping them feel better & meet their goals. We can do this in an office, your house or any place you feel safe in. I also do web based counselling though Zoom for those outside of Kamloops or in other remote locations. I have found that with the right health information, be it with educational media, engaging presentations or confidential & therapeutic individual sessions, that people will be comfortable to move toward health, wellness & happiness.

I welcome all walks of life in my practice—come as you are. Regardless of the specific issues you face, I'm confident that I can assist you. I integrate the wisdom of history's greatest thinkers with contemporary mental health research, offering a therapeutic partnership that is both mentally enriching and emotionally supportive. My aim is for us to develop a practical philosophy of life for you, tailored to aid you in the navigation of your experiences and challenges.

You are taking a proactive step toward addressing and improving your mental and emotional well-being as well as the quality of your relationships. I invite you into a confidential and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and work toward positive change. It all starts with a simple conversation. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, facing challenges, or simply need someone to talk to, counselling can provide a safe space for you to explore and grow.

Often we see a counsellor when life has become too hard or confusing, and I think that's because we can reflect and make changes when things are not going well. As a counsellor, I offer an environment that feels safe enough to tell your story - the highs and the lows, the joy and the grief and everything in between. It's a privilege to hear your story, to help you make sense of it and to think creatively with you about what you'll need for the journey ahead.

Do you ever feel like you’re too sensitive? Or do you feel shy or overwhelmed around other people? Are you struggling with your health and not able to function day to day? Are any of these affecting your relationships? I work with many clients just like you. You deserve a safe space to talk about what you are experiencing and to freely express your feelings and worries. I offer a non-judgmental space for you to share anything you are struggling with right now. LGBTQIA2S+ friendly.

My ideal client is ready for change. Together we will discover the unconscious blocks to change that are getting in the way of your healing and growth.

I am a Registered Clinical Counselor with a Master's in Psychology that practice since 1993 There are events in life that have more impact on our minds than others and circumstances in life that make it almost impossible to process those events. Different methods exist to help with the normal flow of that process in order to overcome emotional pain. Through different psychotherapeutic techniques, I guide my clients on the path of self-discovery and personal growth. You and I together will analyze the conflicts and obstacles in your life, we will find and work with your personal fears and beliefs and set yourself free from them.

I work with adults to explore how their past experiences, traumas, and family system have impacted their sense of self, attachment, and patterns. We work to understand how and why their brain (thoughts), body (feelings), and behaviour are conditioned/operating and move towards awareness and acceptance. By exploring past experiences, current triggers, and future goals, we can move towards intentionality and alignment rather than feeling stuck, not good enough, or not in control. My goal is to help individuals understand and deepen their relationship to themselves and others so that they can live happier more fulfilled lives.

I believe some of the most beautiful work takes place in a therapeutic setting. My goal is to provide you with a safe space, help you feel heard, cared for, understood, and be there for you through your journey in discovering new and different ways in leading a more authentic and meaningful life. I believe we all go through struggles and obstacles in life. Sometimes, what we are trying isn’t necessarily working anymore and we may need new and different perspectives and ways of tackling such issues and concerns. When given the right space, I believe you can heal from your trauma and succeed in leading a life that you want to live.

I offer a person-centered, holistic approach to supporting people to connect with their innate wisdom to heal, grow, and thrive. Honouring the unique context of peoples’ experiences, I support people on their transformational path through anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, loss, loneliness, depression, healing trauma & creating resilience. My focus is to create a safe, warm, inclusive atmosphere where the fear & shame that often hold us back from healing can soften through an experience of compassionate acceptance & deeply attuned therapeutic support.

We are spiritual beings experiencing life in human form, but the challenges of our human condition can often overwhelm us. Spirituality involves reconnecting with our true nature as spiritual beings and pure awareness. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, helps us heal and release the burdens we carry throughout life, while also fully embracing our human nature. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career changes, life transitions, or struggles in relationships, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will uncover your inner wisdom and resilience.

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.
