Female Therapists in Langford, BC

I am a registered clinical counsellor and am registered with the Crime Victim Assistance Program. I use a trauma informed approach in counselling, while also implementing person centred, narrative, EMDR and emotionally focused techniques to treat a variety of client concerns. I value the client-counsellor relationship and make every effort to ensure I demonstrate congruency with the experiences of my clients. I strongly believe in the empowerment that comes from increasing personal voice.

I have been practicing in the non-profit counselling field since 2005. Over this time I have supported children and youth, families, individual adults, and groups in areas including parenting and attachment, family conflict, domestic violence, trauma, mental health and addictions. I offer private practice counselling in Langford, BC, in which I provide individual (10 yrs +), parenting, and family counselling. I am a registered member of the Canadian College of Professional Counsellors and Psychotherapists (CCPCP) and have completed the 3-year Professional Somatic Experiencing Training through the SE Trauma Institiute.

Are you walking through life with a feeling that something's not quite right, or that your life doesn't look the way you want it? Are you noticing that you don't live up to your full potential, and your dreams and desires are on hold for some reason? Life can often present us with challenges and uncertainties that leave us feeling lost and disconnected from our true selves. If you find yourself at a crossroads, longing for more, but unsure of how to break free from what's holding you back, you're not alone. I'm someone who has personally walked the path of healing and transformation.

Currently accepting new clients for virtual counselling, open to adults living in B.C. - I work collaboratively with my clients to gently and curiously explore their lived experiences and life contexts. My goal is to help you foster greater insight, understanding, and acceptance of the patterns in your life that have gotten you to where you are today. At the same time, I will help encourage you to explore meaningful and empowering changes so that you can begin to live the life you want.

Clients who are looking for ways to make sense of their current communication, values, and coping mechanisms will find the space to do that here. Working through past experiences can help improve relationships, access to a positive sense of self, workplace concerns, and communication. My goal for my clients is to work together through past trauma and come to gain the insights and tools to examine behaviours independently.

I work as a Registered Counsellor & Social Worker with over 10 years experience. I offer virtual, outdoor & surf therapy to individuals aged 12+ in Ontario and BC. I'm a settler, originally from Scarborough, and I'm currently living on Vancouver Island (Coast Salish and Nuu-chah-nulth territories). I often work with people experiencing: depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, work stress, grief, trauma, & more! I'm particularly passionate about helping people reconnect with nature, and manage trauma. More info: www.steadyandwildcounselling.ca

Leonard Cohen wrote ‘Everything that is beautiful is cracked - that’s how the light gets in’. I believe his words capture how our past hurt, disappointment, worry, loss, anger and fear become our very tools of learning. Our trying times help us to become a little more humble and compassionate. Counselling offers a safe environment in which to express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Releasing pain, regrets, resentments; offering a fresh start, a chance to unlearn and relearn from experiences when you thought that all hope was lost. In fact, many who wander are not lost, they are merely searching for a different path.

Accepting new clients - Does your appearance or relationship with food consumes your day to day? Do you often worry what others think of you? Or rarely feel like enough? I support clients who struggle with eating disorders (like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating), food restriction, emotional eating, overexercising, body image, and self-esteem. I know the path to recovery can feel scary. And... what lies on the other side of recovery is worth it. In an effort to shrink ourselves, we also end up shrinking our lives. It's my hope throughout counselling you feel comfortable taking up space, so you can experience more of life.

As a therapist, I believe in being authentically human, honoring where you are, and providing a safe space for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I'm here to hold room for all of you. The messy bits are just as welcome as the put together parts.

I believe in the independence and integrity of all my clients. When healing from trauma, we can only relax and learn when we feel safe. Safety is established when we believe that we can be seen and understood without judgement - as your therapist, I will stay with you as you tell your story and help you develop skills to feel safe and regulated. In addition to my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology, I bring 10+ years of experience in the non-profit sector, working with survivors of trauma, interpersonal violence and child abuse. When we work together, I will always be consistent, calm and gentle.

Life's challenges can feel overwhelming, and seeking support is a courageous first step. As a counselor, I'm here to hold space and compassionately walk alongside you on your unique journey. With a personalized approach, we'll navigate through your struggles, creating a plan to work towards your healing and growth. I believe in the power of connection and will work collaboratively to create a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. Us humans are not designed to face hardships alone, so no matter what you're battling, let's embark on a path towards empowerment and positive change as a team.

If you're finding motherhood to be more difficult than you expected, you're not alone in feeling this way. Many women and birthing individuals experience a range of emotions and struggles during their journey through parenthood. Whether you're overwhelmed with worry and "what-if" questions during fertility treatments or in pregnancy, need to process a challenging birth experience or NICU stay, are struggling to reconnect with yourself in the postpartum period, feeling like your relationship has changed since becoming a parent, or simply burnt out from the numerous demands of motherhood, support is available!

ARE YOU A TEEN, OR A PARENT OF A TEEN? Are you feeling challenged, misunderstood, or feeling pressure in teenagehood? Or are you are parent who is challenged by your teen? Depression, anger, and anxiety are common feelings that can be running the show for teens and parents during this developmental stage of teenagehood, and can feel overwhelming. Staying trapped in the same fights, frustrations, anxieties, and unhappiness is a harmful cycle that can have lasting effects.

We are human and challenges arise for each of us. Counselling can be a means of support a way to heal from past experiences and to plan for the future. There are many reasons people access counselling. The most common reasons are: depression or anxiety, relationship issues, social isolation, body issues, motivation, parenting, substance use, a traumatic experience, academic challenges, an inability to identify feeling, and needing to talk to an impartial person. The list is quite diverse and these are only the most common reasons. I am here to work alongside you and draw from my professional experiences and training to bring more balance, joy, and health into your life.

Are you looking for ways to increase your relationship satisfaction? My speciality is relationship counselling and coaching. I am trained as a Family Mediator, a Counsellor and a Coach. I work with people to assist them to enhance their relationship skills in order to create more satisfying relationships with both themselves and others. I offer Couples Counselling, Discernment Counselling, and Individual Counselling.

In my practice, I work with adults struggling with various issues from anxiety, depression and eating issues, to trauma, grief and relationship difficulties. We all have our own history of experiences, and we tend to react in specific ways under stress. While our response was likely our best option in the past, it may not be adaptive now. I can help you resolve past traumas, learn to accept what is, and move forward from there - developing ways to a fuller and more satisfying life.

I can help. Counselling can help you feel more effective, give you insight, help you meet challenges and live more richly, improve your relationships, and give you self-confidence. I help many clients with challenges ranging from depression, anxiety and stress, relationship concerns, boundaries, communication, anger, self-esteem, obesity and eating concerns, perfectionism, life transitions, grief, abortion grief, internet addictions, intimacy concerns, prenatal loss, healthcare concerns, and creativity. My clients say I am warm, funny, thoughtful, and effective. Counselling is confidential.
