Therapists in Britannia Beach, BC

I have been privileged to work as a psychotherapist for almost thirty years and continue to be in awe of the strength and resilience and wisdom inherent in each person I meet. My role as a psychotherapist is to help you access what is inside you and heal from what has prevented you from becoming the best version of yourself. Together we will transform loss and trauma and life transitions into new hope and possibilities for a life that is psychologically rich and rewarding. Therapy is a relationship with yourself where you re-discover and cultivate the real you. It's about wellness and vitality and creating a life you love.

New Clients Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and families who are struggling with their relationships with others or themselves. Feelings of guilt/shame, anger, depression, PTSD & anxiety can cause conflict with loved ones. When we identify the feelings, we can move towards healing. I help clients to become emotionally resilient using therapy to grow, emerge stronger and more peaceful. My approach includes trauma-informed CBT, DBT, EFT, somatic and mindfulness-based therapies. I encourage self love and compassion. “Love has the intense ability to heal the wounds from the blows that life gives us.” Sue Johnson

My goodness mental health and relationship challenges can be wild, and you don't need to navigate them alone. Whether this is for yourself, family, dependent, or relationship, I am deeply passionate about mental health and certain positive change can occur together. While therapy can seem nebulous, I believe in demystifying the counselling process, using evidence-based best practices, and empowering you through education and insights to address the roots of your concerns.

Grief is a natural response to loss, which may include a range of emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, longing, and often involves adjusting to life without the presence of what or who has been loss. Grief is also a highly individual experience, with no set timeline or "right" way to grieve. However, if you are struggling to cope with your loss, I am here to guide you through your journey of grief, helping you navigate the complex emotions, coming to terms with loss and finding ways to integrate it into your life. Formerly working in funeral service and community outreach, I have spent over 10 years helping people in distress.

I specialize in helping children aged 0-12, along with their families. When kiddos experience trauma, their brains do their best to keep them safe, but this often results in behaviours and circumstances that are very challenging. I take a systems-level approach, speaking with family members, school teams, doctors, and whoever else I am given consent to collaborate with, so that all of us can be on the same page about interventions and strategies. If a child sees all of the adults in their world working together to care for them, they thrive. It takes a village to help a family. I hope you'll consider me for your village!
