I work with adults and youth clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, OCD, ADHD, PTSD in addition to parenting and relationship struggles. I have undergone training and specialize in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse which can include healing during high conflict divorce, support for single parents and supporting children of narcissistic parents. As an ex first responder, supporting first responders and their families is a passion of mine and I have undergone occupational awareness certification to further support in this area which can also include suicide bereavement.

I am a trauma-informed counsellor offering EMDR, IFS and somatic therapy. I have experience working with clients who have chronic diseases such as POTS, EDS and fibromyalgia. I also support clients in developping tools to regulate and process emotions, heal from traumatic invalidation, PTSD and narcissistic abuse and cope with OCD. Since trauma is often held in the body, my approach is nervous system informed; I support clients in helping the mind and body connect healthfully. My sessions are a safe space for all, I am queer and neurodivergent friendly!

My practice pulls from a variety of modalities including art therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and others to address issues such as self-esteem, body image, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and PTSD.
Hello and welcome! My name is Jessica, and I am a professional art therapist and clinical counsellor. Art has always been my gateway to understanding myself and others. I believe that every mark we make—from accidental pen strokes to deliberate sketches—carries intention and insight. In my practice, I help clients explore these expressions, uncovering new perspectives and pathways forward. In my therapeutic sessions, I create a nurturing environment for clients to explore, connect, reveal and heal.

My name’s Martin and I’m a Registered Psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I most often work with people experiencing depression, anxiety (e.g., panic, OCD, generalized worries), and family and relationship difficulties, but also have experience in therapy and assessment with ADHD in children and adults. I place a strong focus on the ways that we experience emotions as well as how we communicate with others, but even more importantly with ourselves. Without necessarily realizing, we are constantly talking to ourselves through our thoughts and constructing how we experience the world.

I specialize in the treatment of these issues using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a highly effective evidence-based approach. However, I don't just focus on therapy technique: having a solid relationship and a trusting working alliance with any therapist is key to productive change. In addition to therapy, I conduct diagnostic, personality, and career assessments. I confidentially counsel clients all over BC online and in-person at my Port Moody office.

My therapeutic passions align with my lived experiences and education around attachment, relationships, sex/sexuality, and grief. I know first hand that how our brains and bodies process the world affects how we explore and execute attachment. Knowing ourselves thoroughly can help us build meaningful relationships that connect us to our community. I do this work because I enjoy hearing each person share their unique story, which highlights how they experience connection and growth. I love sharing tools to support a regulated nervous system, connect you with your values, and help you live in a way that honors those values.

These experiences have shaped who I am as a person and a counsellor today. I believe when you understand the pain of healing you can uncover your innate strengths and make more mindful choices. My approach is gentle, but focused and I believe in creating a caring and safe environment for clients to explore challenges in their lives. I use the wisdom of the mind and the body to guide our work. I have worked as a counsellor since 1995 and I have extensive experience

Reaching out for help with a problem can be very intimidating! It may help you to know that our work together will always be based upon YOUR values and goals and a shared understanding of the problem. I use cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based methods to help people who struggle with unpleasant feelings, problem behaviors, or under-functioning. I'm a huge fan of ACT Therapy, which helps you to notice and disentangle from unhelpful thoughts, notice and accept diffiuclt feelings, orient to the present moment and commit to actions that move you towards what you want in life - towards your values!

Does your child struggle with anxiety, anger, ADHD, or self-esteem that is affecting their behaviour, causing challenges at school, impacting their motivation, or leaving them constantly frustrated? As a parent, are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, and all out of ideas of what to do next? Parenting children used to be communal and now it seems to all fall on the shoulders of one or two parents! As parents of our generation take the first step in their mental health journey, we are also taking the first step for our children’s mental health modelling for them that it is ok to ask for help.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
