Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Salmon ARM, BC

I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. As the Clinical Team Lead and Registered Social Worker, I am firmly grounded in social work values of respecting the inherent dignity and worth of a person, promoting social justice and challenging oppressive systems with the goal to decolonize mental health. I passionately lead with a trauma-informed approach, honouring each person who invites me to walk alongside their journey of healing. Working with me, you can expect to experience my sense of humour, warmth, gentle-challenging, and honesty.

People often come to therapy with hopes of feeling happier and more fulfilled, yet the process of change can be frightening and uncomfortable. I want my clients to feel they are in the driver's seat, with access to the brake and gas. I am the passenger with the road map. I will guide their healing journey but they choose the direction and pace. I truly believe the only thing more frightening than 'change' is the status quo. Why settle? You deserve more!

I provide counselling in a safe, confidential and professional environment. Talk to me about anxiety, depression, trauma, dysfunctional behaviour, and difficult relationship issues. You may often think, "I just want to feel Loved, Seen and Heard; is that too much to ask?" I commit to be present and listen to you. Meeting you where you are right now, giving you practical insights, proven tools, and step-by-step strategies you need to get where you want to go. With couples counselling you can rebuild the relationship you want, reconnect with the one you love, and resolve conflicts peacefully.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, practicing in Salmon Arm, BC. I have a passion for helping people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.

Many people have had a life full of moments: good, bad, ugly, and somewhere in the mediocre middle. You are here because some of those experiences have left you feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you can’t make sense of the emotions that you’re wrestling with. Perhaps you're constantly treading water and afraid that you're going to drown. If you are looking for a life raft, maybe counseling is it. I have worked with folks from all walks of life - including families who may have had interactions with the criminal justice system. If you are nervous to talk about some of the big things in your life, reach out.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or like you just can't get control over your feelings? You are not alone. Feelings of sadness, anxiousness, insecurity, anger, stress or shame can be overpowering. We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can share your story and work to find solutions. We use an integrated approach that adjusts to your individual needs to help you find relief. Using a variety of techniques, we can help you reach your goals and experience a lifelong transformation.

I am dedicated to helping couples and individuals improve their relationships and overall well-being. I have extensive experience in working with couples to navigate challenging times, overcome obstacles, and create a stronger, more fulfilling bond. My services include individual counselling for those seeking to improve their relationship skills and communication, as well as couples counselling for those who want to work on their relationship together. I also offer premarital counselling for those who are engaged or considering marriage, to help them build a strong foundation for their future together.

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.

I have a Masters degree of Science in Mental Health Counselling and am registered with the BBCACC as a RCC. I am certified in traumatic stress studies, Neurofeedback, & HeartMath Biofeedback. I have completed basic (EMDR) training and advanced training in EMDR for suicidal clients and self-harming behaviours as well as complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. I employ evidenced based modalities such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma focused sensorimotor psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, and Neurofeedback. In my practice there are two counsellors, two neurofeedback technicians and a therapy dog (St. Bernard).

The concentration of my practice is working with families who are experiencing conflict, difficult emotions, and/or concerning behaviours. How should we react or respond? What can we do to help and support? How do we make sense of these big emotions and behaviours? I work with individuals and families through a systemic approach that strives to develop understanding and provide concrete tools and strategies for making change. I am flexible in my ability to offer individual, couple, and family sessions.

After many years of working in healthcare and education in the U.K., the Netherlands and Canada, I realized that I wanted to help others more directly. I wanted to create a safe, understanding, caring, non-judgemental space for people to share their mental health journey with me. I have developed the skills and knowledge, through education at KCPC and through work with the Canadian Mental Health Association and as a BouncBack coach, to use an integrative approach to counselling to guide and support people to reach their mental health goals. This means that I will work with you to find the best way that works for you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Does it feel like it takes too much energy to just get out of bed? Do you want to feel you have more control of your life? For the past 15 years I have supported Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, youth and adults with issues related to anxiety, depression, substance use, grief and loss, sexuality, social struggles, and trauma related to residential schools. I am passionate about helping you overcome obstacles to the success in life that you want and deserve. I believe that healing is a holistic journey that takes all aspects of your life into account, and doesn't focus on only one part or symptom.
