Grief Therapists in Abbotsford, BC
Life is hard. As human beings we need connection and are not meant to navigate life alone. The relieving reality is that we don’t have to. I offer specialized counselling for individuals facing challenges with eating disorders, body dissatisfaction and problematic substance use. I provide support for a wide array of other challenges too, such as life transitions, relationship issues, maternal mental health and faith deconstruction. I work with clients as they learn to better understand themselves and their emotions, take better care of their nervous systems, recognize their innate value and worth and ultimately reclaim their power.

I believe we are created for relationships. These relationships can wound us, but they also have tremendous healing potential. I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore their experiences and make meaning out of difficult circumstances.

Counselling can help improve focus, concentration, and enhance mental well-being. Challenges, transitions, and various setbacks can cause feelings of being overwhelmed, confused, anxious, or depressed. However, using goal based approaches, psychoeducation, and various cognitive modalities anyone can lead a fulfiling existence. I work from a trauma informed non-judgemental approach. I'm also fluent in both English and Punjabi. Please dont hesitate to reach out.

After 50 years in counselling I remain more intrigued than ever by opportunities to support positive growth. At key junctures in life's journey we are confronted with painful experiences that can create the required urgency for needed change. By carefully focusing on a client's unique story I extend an invitation to collaboratively clarify goals and set new directions. I draw from a wide variety of therapeutic approaches but also the life experience gained by being a father of 5, experiencing a diverse and enriching career path, as well as overcoming my own share of adversity along the way.

Having overcome life-altering losses, severe childhood trauma and addictions of my own, as well as being a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Specializing in Family and Community, has given me the tools to help others do the same.
Human beings experience severe life stressors sometimes, and when they do it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. I have a passion for helping people, who are experiencing difficulties, strengthen their relationships with themselves and others, so they can once again live purposeful, joy-filled lives, while still honouring their past.

As a counsellor I hope to model grace, courage, and genuineness to my clients while I come along side them, and act as a resource for positive change in their lives. I have a warm, engaging, and professional demeanour that helps clients feel at ease, supported, and able to embrace the delicate balance between risk, hope, and trust. Most importantly, I want my clients to know that it is an absolute privilege that they invite me into their lives to share on their journey with them. This may include helping my clients with concerns relating to their personal growth, wellness, relationships, mental health, and/or psychological distress.

I am a Registered Psychologist (since 1995) with training and experience in clinical (& forensic) psychology. I provide caring & compassionate therapy using the most effective therapies that are matched to your needs. Psychotherapy involves developing a therapeutic relationship in which you feel at ease, set goals, and choose methods to achieve these goals. People tend to overcome or manage issues after they develop understanding of what is amiss, develop motivation (if needed), learn healthy expression of emotion, and learn to examine and confront thoughts and emotions while practicing new behaviours.

If personal healing and transformation simply required us to think our way to a different way of being, we would have all done that by now. However, we often get trapped in the endless treadmill of the mind and attempt to "fix" ourselves on that level, all the while feeling more stuck, confused, and disconnected from who we really are. I believe that its through quieting the mind and re-connecting to the wisdom of the body that our unique healing intelligence can come through and lead us directly to the root of where we need to heal in order to lead a deeply embodied, meaningful life.

In the world of problems, maybe none are more worth solving than those that plague children and families. Over 20 years, I have dedicated my practice to solving these problems by counselling parents, children & families and assisting them through high-conflict challenges. In March 2013, the Family Law Act changed whereby it now is rightly focused on the best interests of the child and makes it possible for families to work with a parental coordinator who has judicial authority to make legally binding decisions. This alternate dispute resolution allows for a more effective process so that children of high-conflict families are not stale mated.
