Since the relationship with your counsellor is so important, we offer a quick questionnaire to pair you with the best counsellor for you and a free 15-minute phone consultation with them to help you make this important decision.
There are things going on in your life that are a bit out of your wheelhouse to manage right now. Whether it's anxiety, overwhelm, change or wondering who you actually are, you know that you need help. And yet...you're supposed to be the strong one...how would the people in your life react if they knew that you need help too? Which brings up another thing...you're tired of giving to everyone else. You've noticed that you just end up feeling empty and resentful when you do this. It's time to change.

Everybody needs some extra support at times to work through the problems, hurdles, challenges, and chaos that we encounter. I have a strong interest in working with adults who are experiencing relationship breakdown of all sorts, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, relationships, difficult childhoods, dysfunctional families of origin, and the impact of past hurts and coping patterns. I also welcome the opportunity to work with individuals who are struggling with mental health concerns, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout.

I will stay curious alongside you as you bravely bring your feelings, stressors, wounds, and relationship concerns to the therapy space.
I invite you to take a deep breath. Sometimes, Life can feel all too much. You may be feeling like you cannot continue living like you are, feeling dark, heavy, anxious, disconnected from, or lost in your feelings. I support youth, young adults, and adults with understanding their relationship to self and others through a holistic lens. This means we work together to process unfelt feelings, to be curious about persistent nagging thoughts and patterns, and to be present to how this all expresses itself in and through your body. I am passionate about showing you that getting help can be a safe, insightful, and healing endeavour.

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.

My ideal clients are: 1) people in bigger/fat bodies who are breaking up with diet culture, 2) couples seeking relationship support, and 3) counsellors & therapists.

Clients often reach out because I practice from a Health at Every Size(R)/anti-diet framework. Couples seek me out because I offer a gentle, playful, skilled container for strengthening and/or repairing their relationship. Therapists appreciate my experience & ability to hold nuance.

At some point, we all hit a wall where self-help books and call-in therapy radio shows are no longer enough. Whether you are finding your way through grief over the loss of a loved one, experiencing a transition in your life, struggling in relationship or career, there is no reason why you have to go it alone. Believing a counselor must work on healing their own issues first, I have worked thru my own struggles in all of these areas. As a result I bring that learning to help many others.

In sessions, one of my goals is to be mindful and offer a safe place for clients to share personal thoughts and experiences. Being present in each moment allows me to focus on a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. This relationship then leads to us collaboratively establishing goals as well as working toward goals. I am available in Abbotsford on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays and at Living Wellness Center in South Surrey on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
