*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - ONLINE ONLY** Life can be unpredictable and challenging, which often causes uncomfortable emotions, anxiety, and changes in mood. This is also common when we transition though different stages of life, and it can impact our self-identity. This is really common as we age into new phases of life and our roles, responsibilities, and expectations change. Not only are these life events challenging for us, they are challenging for the people around us to adapt to as well.

My ideal client is open to trying a new approach to things not working in their life. They may have had a less than ideal childhood, may feel different from most people, or may be used to keeping their feelings packed down deep inside. They may need to feel cared for by another person, or to feel understood and accepted. Their goals may include building up their self-confidence and the ability to connect with others. They want to find inner peace and wellness because that will not only benefit them but those around them.

I view counselling as an opportunity to work with a specialist in psychology who can provide you with the knowledge, support and tools to help you improve your life significantly.

I am a registered EMDR Therapist (both Internationally and in Canada), a Gotman therapist, and I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years, a background in the Canadian Military, as a Municipal Fire Fighter, and First Responder.

People who land in my office and curl up on my sofa to talk are people seeking some peace. Peace from grief or transition and the change it flings about in our lives and identities, peace from anxiety and events of the past, and peace in relationships. Once we have this, anything is possible and we are free to go after a life that has meaning and juice to it.

I specialize in services for people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and other psychosocial issues. My interventions are implemented carefully, thoroughly and sensitively, always keeping in mind the unique and individual needs of every client. I believe the journey depends on the relationship that develops between the therapist and client. Peace by Piece counseling seeks to create an atmosphere that is collaborative, relaxed, safe and organized. My goal is to instill hope, listen to my client's story, gather information, and work together with my client/family to establish realistic attainable goals.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a licensed private practice based in Kamloops, B.C., offering counselling services for youth, adults, couples and families. Areas of practice include, marital/relationship difficulties (communication and trust), relationship therapy for families, parenting concerns, life transitions, anxiety/panic disorder, trauma, depression, substance use, disturbing thoughts, and adolescence concerns of self-harm, peer relations, sexuality, self-esteem and parent/teen conflict.

Life can bring unforeseen deviations. Relationships fall apart; failure; depression; anxiety and disappointments can occur at an time. My specialization is individual, couples, family, and youth counselling, and I offer flexibility in scheduling. I come from an integrative approach when assisting clients and believe in honoring the dignity of all people and the inherent value of an individual’s story as it unfolds. I specialize in faith-based violence and religious oppression that can happen to individuals through organizations and family systems.

We believe counselling is about being open and willing about exploring that which is negatively impacting your life. Facing challenges and difficulties takes courage and a belief that something could be different and even, perhaps, better. I aim to create a warm and welcoming space. Here, you are invited to explore your current situation with a focus on how to create a brighter tomorrow. We believe each person has a sense of what is helpful. Personalizing each session, we collaboratively create a plan to move you through this challenge and to a tomorrow with greater freedom. We offer reduced rate counselling with our MACP candidate.
