Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Delta, BC

I enjoy working with a wide array of presenting concerns, however a majority of my experience has been in regards to emotional regulation, suicidal ideation, and coping effectively. I believe that as a counsellor it is my responsibility to meet clients where they are at and adjust my way of working to reflect this. I strive to create a nonjudgemental space and treat every client with unconditional positive regard.

Welcome to my Psychology Today web profile! I have assisted people challenged by mental health issues for over 28 years who suffer from Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use, Adjustment and Personality (esp. Borderline) disorders along with Emotional and Life-style challenges. My connections with many community programs support my multidisciplinary treatment model approach and benefits the client holistically. UPDATE: My caseload is open. Kindly email me at hm.r.psych at gmail.com or call me at +1 (236) 862 9321 to schedule an appointment.

For many, counselling is an opportunity to evaluate life changes, relationships stressors, and attachment patterns. For others, it can be their only opportunity to emphasize time for themselves and to experience feeling like they are a priority. I recognize the courage and vulnerability it takes to self-reflect and identify areas which you would like to develop insight and emotional intelligence in. I encourage my clients to attach themselves to the process of personal growth and self-discovery rather than simply the end goal, as this creates opportunities to generate self-compassion and gratitude for your strengths and abilities.

Sometimes it’s hard to notice when things aren't going well. It might be subtle signs that pop up at the end of the day. You feel like the day is going well and you’re keeping busy. But as soon as you have a moment of silence, your mind starts to cycle through things that you just don't want to think about. Do you find it hard to sit still and be at peace in these moments? Do you distract yourself as much as possible just so you don’t listen to your own thoughts? Maybe you have a hard time completing any of your important tasks? These are all normal reactions. Signals that your body is giving you to pay attention to.

Are you or your child feeling Stuck? Depressed? Anxious? Frustrated? Overwhelmed? Do you want things to change or be different? You are not alone. Many people have faced situations that have challenged them to the point where they feel that they cannot move forward. It may be difficult to even understand what is truly happening. Everyone has the capacity for change, even you! Together we can work through your concerns and issues and help you reach your ultimate goal of moving forward in your life.

I am a strong believer that the mind is everything, and what you think, you can become. With the right tools one can make significant, and positive changes in personal growth. I believe seeking help is not a weakness, but a strength. I understand the complexities that people face in stressful situations, and work with clients to help resolve them whether that is your mood, thoughts, motivation, relationships, work, career or anything else that is important to you. I have a vast range of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, custody and access issues, cultural, and intergenerational issues.

My sessions have zero judgement and I will bring new perspectives to you through my own experience and education with abusive relationships, eating disorder, anger issues, anxiety, depression and lack of self esteem. My humour and authentic approach differentiate me from many other therapists and I am also very open and easy to talk to.

We all live complex lives and are having to face an ever-changing environment. This can be immensely stressful. We all experience challenges in our lives but we do not always have the clarity or skills to effectively navigate our way through them. We then either get stuck or continue to go through life living on auto-pilot. To create a meaningful life, we need to reconnect with ourselves, the things we value and fine tune our skills to attain our goals. Working through challenges in our past or those in the present in a supportive, therapeutic environment can help us build a fuller and more meaningful life.

Searching for the right counsellor isn’t an easy process, but it is a necessary one. You might have already come across many questions online asking if you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or hopeless. These are definitely important questions you should ask yourself. But how often have you been asked what you can do to overcome these difficulties? My work is focused on helping you discover both the "why" and "how" about your struggles and your strengths. Through establishing a safe space, trust, and empathy, my philosophy is to form a therapeutic relationship between us to the benefit of your mental health.

I'm passionate about helping my clients better understand themselves. This self-awareness is the key to overcoming difficult emotions such as anxiety, depression, low mood, stress, and overwhelm. Sometimes they come to me just feeling stuck, unmotivated, and unsure of how to move forward. I work with them to find the reasons behind these challenges and then step on the path to healing. I am fascinated by people and the uniqueness of their life experiences, so the most important aspect for me is to build a trusting relationship with my clients so they feel safe, accepted, and comfortable opening up about whatever is on their minds.

The people I work with often tell me they experience intense, difficult emotions that are hard to control, often leading to harmful coping behaviours and relationship turmoil. Taking a behavioural approach, we work together to develop strategies and tools that support a more fulfilling life—what is referred to in DBT as a "life experienced as worth living.” Wellness tools and strategies we use are informed by DBT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy, but I believe it is the trusting and supportive relationship we build that forms the foundation upon which this challenging yet rewarding work is done.

Do you struggle with your emotions? Do they lead you to engage in behaviours that you regret? Are you struggling with interpersonal conflicts, substance use, self harm, or mental health concerns? I can help you achieve your goals and to go from surviving to thriving. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. With having worked in both private and public mental health settings, I've been able to work with people struggling with addiction, depression, intense emotions, life transitions, self-harm, stress/anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma/PTSD, and many others.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, inability to focus or with sadness and low energy? I can help you feel better and show you how to manage your challenges. I have helped many clients in the past 25 years work with anger, family conflict, heal from break ups, infidelity, immigration and racism. You may be turning to unhealthy coping patterns like drinking, using drugs and emotional eating or withdrawing from others. I will help you become healthier and have a more fulfilled life. I also provide Student Care and ICBC counselling.

I integrate a trauma informed, socially just and culturally responsive approach to my sessions in which I honour the unique and diverse identity narratives and life experiences each client holds. I will help you explore how your past, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours contribute to your current struggles, while exploring different ways of being that invite greater opportunity for joy, freedom, meaning and connection. With a curious and empathetic attitude, I will work collaboratively with you, at your pace, to help you find clarity, meaning and help you uncover the tools your already have within you to move forward.

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling and are looking to invest in their own future and those of their loved ones. I have worked in private practice as well as in a hospital setting and am very comfortable with the wide range of mental illness and relationship issues and welcome any clients struggling with mild mental health or relationship issues up to severe cases in each area. I only ask that clients want to move forward.

At times feelings, or life circumstances become so intense or painful, we become desperate to find ways to fix, avoid, or control them. We may get stuck in worry and self-doubt, avoid meaningful activities, feel unable to let go of control, withdraw from relationships, shut down feelings, ruminate on past hurts, escape into TV, the internet, video games, drugs or alcohol, or get pulled into compulsive or impulsive behaviours. What was meant to fix the problem, ends up making it worse. As life becomes about controlling feelings, it becomes less about what is really important to us - our values and passions.

Have you ever wondered: How much of my problem is me generated and how much is other people or circumstances? You know you are responsible for making changes in your life and yet things happen that make that change seemingly impossible. How can I change my private self and how I relate outwardly? Can I move from victim to survivor, from bully to challenger from rescuer to supporter even when the world and those around me don't cooperate? It's a question worth exploring. Spoiler Alert! It's very possible!
