Couples Counselling Therapists in British Columbia

I view counselling as an opportunity to work with a specialist in psychology who can provide you with the knowledge, support and tools to help you improve your life significantly. I have focused on pursuing extensive training in treating a variety of life stressors. I have a comprehensive psychological toolbox that I would like to share to help you live the best life possible. I am a registered EMDR Therapist (both Internationally and in Canada), a Gotman therapist, and I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years, a background in the Canadian Military, as a Municipal Fire Fighter, and First Responder.

I am committed to seeing people as more than just the problems they may be struggling with. I value conversations that allow the richness of people's lives to become more visible and accessible to them. After more than 20 years of practice, I continue to feel privileged to accompany people as they sort out life's difficulties. I see adults across the life span in relation to a range of life concerns, including: depression; anxiety; work-life balance; disordered eating and body image difficulties; sexual, interpersonal and workplace trauma; relationship issues; grief and loss; life transitions and identity questions.

Accepting new clients! Online booking available. Looking for a warm, non-judgmental therapist to support your growth? I offer evidence-based therapies to help my clients experience wellbeing and "come back" to themselves. I encourage my clients to recognize what's happening within them, and to use that awareness to grow towards fulfillment and peace. Issues that I often work with include overcoming anxiety, finding purpose, bolstering self esteem, and improving relationships with others and with one's self.

New Clients Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and families who are struggling with their relationships with others or themselves. Feelings of guilt/shame, anger, depression, PTSD & anxiety can cause conflict with loved ones. When we identify the feelings, we can move towards healing. I help clients to become emotionally resilient using therapy to grow, emerge stronger and more peaceful. My approach includes trauma-informed CBT, DBT, EFT, somatic and mindfulness-based therapies. I encourage self love and compassion. “Love has the intense ability to heal the wounds from the blows that life gives us.” Sue Johnson

Therapy can be a transformative journey, one that holds the potential to foster feelings of radical acceptance and self-compassion, cultivate a sense of inner peace, and provide healing and care to each and every part of you. Developing awareness of yourself and your relationships can often be the first step toward creating change. Together, we'll identify your strengths, explore patterns that may be holding you back and give space to those deeper parts of you that have longed to be seen and understood. We will also work through any events or self-talk that may be creating distress or keeping you stuck.

Therapy is about the connection between your therapist and you. I believe that this relationship is at the foundation of healing and I pride myself on providing a nonjudgmental and safe environment for my clients.

Are you new to therapy, or frustrated with not making progress? I specialize in taking clients deeper than they have gone before to really heal and gain insight into why you stay stuck. Symptoms are of the same variety for all people, anxiety, depression, self criticism, relationship conflict, difficulty with mood or emotional regulation, obsession etc. However, underlying your symptoms are habits and patterns of thinking and the way you use defences to avoid experiencing pain and fear. I will help you navigate the labyrinth of how and why you think and behave in the ways you do to open up new pathways for living more fully.

My practice is focused on trauma care.

I have 30 years of experience assisting clients in my clinical practice to resolve issues in their relationships and in day to day living . Those problems often focus on addiction, stress, trauma, and anxiety. I assist clients to achieve more positive communication skills and productive happier relationships. . I believe that I work well with clients who are seeking to address the difficult issues we all face in this ever-changing and challenging world, and to explore new ways of viewing life's journey with all it's struggles. I approach counselling support in a solution focused manner in order to set and achieve specific goals.

Within family units, the need for each member to feel heard cannot be overstated.

You deserve a soft landing where you can express the unexpressed and explore the things that make you human.

At the heart of every life struggle are blind spots and unconscious patterns that play out in our relationships with ourselves and others and in our attitude toward change. I believe that these crossroads offer an opportunity for self-empowerment and growth. With the right tools, strategies and perspective, you will be able to navigate healthy changes and evolve towards your happier and more fulfilling life. You may be feeling confused, stressed, frustrated, anxious, or even ashamed of what's going on for you right now. Whatever it is, I want you to know that you're in a safe space here, and I'm here to help you work through it.
