Couples Counselling Therapists in British Columbia

As a counselor, my heart reaches out to women of any age who seek to uncover their life potential, couples looking for premarital/marriage counseling (including cross-cultural couples), busy mothers striving to constantly improve the quality of marriage and family life, immigrants trying to build new lives in another country, parents eager to understand their children's and their own personality traits to construct healthy parent-child interactions, parents caring for children with special needs, individuals striving for higher sense of freedom through reflections on life purpose, gender equality, and generational traumas.

I believe life’s most difficult moments are an opportunity and gift - guiding our way to the life and experiences we’ve ultimately been looking for. With a linear, logical, yet creative mind, crossed with a deeply open and compassionate heart, I hold space for you to align with your deepest truth. Together, there is room to look at all areas of life - increasing intimacy and connection in your relationships, working through business or career challenges, reducing anxiety, healthy expression of anger, sadness and other emotions, and learning to move more smoothly through resistance, fear, and life transitions.

Life’s twists and turns can often feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost and uncertain. As your Registered Clinical Counsellor, I am here to offer a compassionate and supportive space to help you navigate these moments. Together, we will explore your thoughts and emotions, aiming to restore clarity and peace. In our eco-friendly and inclusive clinic, we celebrate the richness of diverse backgrounds. As a BIPOC therapist, I am committed to respecting and acknowledging our unique perspectives, ensuring that everyone feels truly seen and heard. I specialize not only in individual therapy but also in family and couples counselling

I offer evidence based, compassionate and collaborative psychological treatment for teens, adults and couples. I seek to create a safe, nurturing relationship so that my clients can process, explore, and heal from the challenges that are keeping them stuck.

All humans have the capacity for wellness, healing, and growth, despite the adversities we face. As a former national team athlete and current RCC, I have a unique understanding of the psychological pressures that coincide with sport-participation and managing difficult emotions. I also enjoy working with a diverse range of clients (14+) and couples to address a variety of concerns. These areas may include, but are not limited to, challenges with performance and social anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse, relational conflict, grief/loss, and disordered eating/RED-S.

I combine multiple approaches into my sessions including, CBT, DBT, and the Gottman method for relationship issues and couples therapy. With my integrative and flexible approach I offer a meaningful and non judgmental space so that you can gain a deeper knowledge of yourself and your partner.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, stressed, or depressed. Are you unhappy in your relationship. Are you or a family member abusing alcohol or mood-altering drugs. I offer a safe, relaxed and confidential environment to talk through your challenges and learn new coping strategies to build resilience in your life.

As we move through life we can all face struggles that are difficult to navigate on our own. Anxiety, depression or feeling stuck can arise from many different experiences: Relationship challenges, loss of a loved one, divorce, maladaptive communication patterns, changes in career or station in life, parenting struggles, issues around self esteem, schooling, purpose and meaning, setting boundaries, trauma or abuse. I aim to help my clients, whether adults or youth, heal and grow as they move through periods of change. We accept private insurance plans, Victim Services(CVAP), ICBC Claims and Autism Funding.

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.

Practical and meaningful results. If you want results then I can help. Free 30 minute initial consult. I specialize in marriage & family counselling, anger management, trauma & abuse, grief/loss counselling, spiritual issues and parenting. I will work collaboratively with you to determine the best way to help you in achieving the goals and hopes you have for your marriage, family or individual needs. I believe that you have the answers within you to achieve the change you want. I can help you get to those answers and assist you in building a better marriage, or peaceful family or gaining more insight into your issues.

I draw from a range approaches depending upon your needs and preferences. Among them are cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiological ideas, family systems therapy, and attachment theory. It is common for clients to arrive with issues identified only to discover that there are other deeper and more fundamental issues which underlie them. I work at a pace compatible with your ability to integrate change. I am gentle and encouraging, but firm and forthright. I provide a free initial consultation so you can determine whether you feel comfortable with me. My aim is for you to feel welcome, safe and comfortably challenged.

I am a registered social worker under BCCSW. I enjoy working with children, couples, parents, young adults, and families.

I use skills and diverse modalities such as problem-solving, creating healthy boundaries, person/client-centred, offering emotional support and holistic therapy, etc.

Reaching out for support can be daunting and I work to make the process as easy as possible. As a relationship specialist, I support individuals, couples and families to develop meaningful, satisfying connections with themselves and others.

Whether you bring a specific concern or generally want to feel more connection and joy, I provide a compassionate space to find healing. My collaborative approach brings together my experience with your goals, hopes and needs.

My counselling aims to help you deal with and overcome issues that are causing emotional pain or making you feel uncomfortable. I provide a safe and regular space for you to talk and explore difficult feelings. By discussing your concerns with you, I can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, as well as identifying ways of finding your own solutions to problems. It can be a great relief to share your worries and fears with someone who acknowledges your feelings and is able to help you reach a positive solution.

They may face a variety of challenges, such as communication issues, conflicts, trauma, or life transitions, and they crave guidance and solutions to overcome these obstacles. Their problems can range from trust and intimacy difficulties to difficulties raising children or coping with stressful situations.

It is common to struggle with challenges and issues that seem difficult to approach. At times you may feel stuck or hopeless, and lack insight or skills required to deal with the problem! Emotional wellbeing and mental health influence your general health and how you make decisions, handle stress, and face challenges in your life and in your relationships.

Creating healthy relationships for women, men, and couples. Alleviating anxiety, easing trauma responses, eliminating addiction, increasing assertiveness, and strengthening self worth. Through evidence-based therapeutic approaches I work to empower clients to live authentic and meaningful lives. Each client is unique, and therapy sessions are designed to be client-centered primarily focused on the comfort and growth of each individual. I also have a guided group program as well as an exclusive 1:1 mentoring program.

Most of us are yearning for more out of life and our relationships. We yearn for more freedom, more choice, more love, more adventure, more willingness to risk, more contribution, more peace, more belonging. Clients say that as a result of seeing me for therapy, they experience themselves as having a renewed sense of purpose, direction, more freedom, peace, energy, vitality and a stronger connection to their own life force. I am unique from others in my field because I have devoted my life to learning how to help my clients actually transform what is holding them back rather than just talking about it.

Although I am also a couples counsellor, I work primarily with those who have experienced trauma. Trauma is the experience of being emotionally and psychologically overwhelmed and overcome for weeks, months, or years by adverse childhood experiences and adult traumatic events. My focus is always on the present and a hopeful future - how can those debilitated by anxiety, shame, poor self-worth, child sexual abuse, c-PTSD and PTSD, and dissociative disorders including Dissociative Identity Disorder, become healthy enough to meet their own needs for income, housing, affirming relationships, and wellness - physical, emotional AND mental

I have a passion for working with youths, young adults, couples, and families on personal and relationship issues. My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy and I have experience working with youths and their families. I understand the difficulties of teenage development, but at the same time, I can appreciate how difficult it is to parent an adolescent. However, the "rebellious teen" is not inevitable and I would be happy to meet with you and your family to discuss your relationships and strategies for making parenting work.

Life can be difficult sometimes and it’s hard to work through deep issues when you're in survival mode. I have been supporting people in healing for 17 years. As a counsellor, I offer compassionate, person-centred, therapeutic support, with an integrative approach to safely support you in your healing journey through Anxiety, Relationship difficulties, Religious Oppression, Trauma, Grief & Loss. My passion for therapeutic work stems from my own healing of deep traumas. I know the courage it takes to meet the challenges of healing & solid support makes all the difference as you move toward your goal with clarity and purpose.

I always have been drawn to uncovering the complex ways we are impacted the experiences in our lives. In particular the impact of trauma on our resilience and on our 'stuck' places. Our bodies carry the weight of our histories and the histories we inherit. In reprocessing trauma it is necessary for us to be attuned to these somatic experiences and to foster the wisdom stored within our bodies.
