In Person Therapists in Penticton, BC
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, meaning I strive to create a healing framework based on the needs and concerns unique to the client.
My journey to becoming a counsellor began with a long-standing career in emergency services. With over 20 years of providing front-line support to emergency service personnel and individuals in crisis, I wanted to expand on that in a way that could benefit others long term, which led to this profession. I acknowledge it takes immense courage for clients to be curious about what is troubling them, and I approach each session with gratitude and genuine care. Simply, I believe that people begin to heal when they are heard.

I’m Bri, a Registered Professional Counsellor & Certified Life Coach. I focus on long-term, goal-oriented talk therapy style sessions that take a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving.
