Children are one third of our population and all of our future. I specialize in children, teens and families. I believe that parents do the best they can with the tools they have been given - tools that can be learned and expanded through counselling. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors I work primarily with individual children (6-12), individual teens (ages 13+) and parents.

When we experience trauma or severe life stressors it is not uncommon to feel like our lives are unravelling. That unravelling can take many forms; emotional distress, break down of relationships with our partners and children, general dissatisfaction with life or work, feelings of overwhelming sadness, anxiety, anger and hopelessness. My passion lies in assisting clients in exploring the past, creating peace in the present and feeling hope for the future. My aim is to ensure that your therapy experience is a positive one that offers the potential to have you living life more fully.

I am a nonbinary, neurodivergent practitioner with a passion for helping individuals and families practice more loving ways of relating to themselves and each other. In my practice, I support adults, families, parents, kids and teenagers. Rooted in positive psychology and mindfulness approaches, my counselling sessions integrate several evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, EFFT and somatic processing. I practice virtually only and welcome individuals of all backgrounds.

I have a passion for working with individuals who are struggling to stay on top of their emotional responses. This can be due to so many factors from the state of our world, the result of high anxiety, an overactive stress response, trauma and post traumatic stress disorder, conflict in relationships, or burnout. We all experience times when our usual coping strategies are no longer enough and we are in distress. Our relationships suffer, our work suffers and our families suffer.

My name is Kim, and my passion is working with children, youth and families. I have experience working in child development centers, preschools, school districts, MCFD, CYMH, and non-profit agencies. My goal is to help individuals and their families heal through stressful and traumatic events. My practice is strength-based, where I encourage the client to share their personal narrative whether that is through words, art or play.

Imagine feeling it in your bones that change is possible. How you relate to yourself, others, and life - can change. I want to work with people who are courageous and fearful and unsure. When we have limiting stories of ourselves it can be helpful to have someone else, a professional, hear us - see us- and want to show another way. I will not look away from your shadow, and I do not fear trauma or big emotions. You are so much more than what you've done, your body, and your worst thoughts.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Does it feel like it takes too much energy to just get out of bed? Do you want to feel you have more control of your life? For the past 15 years I have supported Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, youth and adults with issues related to anxiety, depression, substance use, grief and loss, sexuality, social struggles, and trauma related to residential schools. I am passionate about helping you overcome obstacles to the success in life that you want and deserve. I believe that healing is a holistic journey that takes all aspects of your life into account, and doesn't focus on only one part or symptom.

I believe that you should do you. I also think that you should do the least anxious, least depressed, least traumatized and least isolated version of you that you can do. Reaching out for counselling can be really nerve-racking. It is also hard to admit that there is something in your life that might not be working quite right. My hopes are that you can make the changes that you want to make, and I'm hoping that I can support you to do it.

Survivors of childhood trauma, individuals struggling in unhealthy relationships, emergency responders or individuals battling physical or mental illness all have the potential to develop a powerful mindset. A powerful mindset is about overcoming adversity and challenges that life presents. It’s about possessing, understanding, and being able to successfully use a set of psychological coping skills that allow you to be more effective, adaptive, and persistent while pursuing your goals. The foundation and quality of your life will be shaped by how how well you handle challenges and how open you are to improvement.

Helping families, individuals and children through difficult experiences has been my career's focus for over 25 years. I utilize child-centered play/art therapy, sand tray work, emotional regulation, cognitive behavioural therapy and rational emotive behavioural therapy. These strategies allow children and adults to reveal their anger, fears sadness or frustrations in order to better understand and express themselves. My holistic and creative approach allows clients to feel comfortable, heal, overcome obstacles and embrace positive changes that can ultimately create a more satisfying quality of life.
