Vancouver, BC V5N (Online Only)
I have received training in modalities such as EFT, SFBT, DBT, CBT, EMDR and Narrative Therapy.
I am a Registered Social Worker committed to providing compassionate and adaptable mental health support for children, youth and families. Drawing on my background in social work, I view the challenges we face as intertwined with our environments, systems and social injustices. My primary goal is to cultivate a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship with those I support as I believe true healing can only begin in a space of safety. My approach is client centered, rooted in anti-oppressive principles and culturally sensitive. I empower my clients through meaningful support, transparent collaboration and empathy.

My area of expertise is trauma and I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR).
Anyone including individuals, couples and families in need of counselling will benefit from coming to see me. I have had many years experience working with youth and adults. The area I particularly enjoy working with is trauma, both childhood and more recent traumatic experiences such as car accidents, abuse, or other traumatic incidents. I work collaboratively with my clients to determine what their goals are and what therapy will be the most useful. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR) and find this very effective in working with trauma.

I am also trained in EMDR, which is effective in treating trauma- see my website hartsencounselling.
Do you value relationships and feel you would like to be more confident in yourself? Our challenges can be our greatest teachers but they may feel overwhelming when we try to face them alone, especially if we have suffered through trauma. If you have emotional injuries in need of healing or a relationship you wish to bring closer, by exploring these issues we may uncover hidden resources and new possibilities. We may work through unconscious beliefs or hidden traumas along the way. By supporting ourselves in new ways, we can free ourselves from old fears and become more of who we truly are.

EMDR trauma therapy is my passion because I see it work.
I would love to meet you and offer you real change and skills to move forward into wholeness and freedom. I believe the best healing involves all parts of us; mind, body, emotions and spirit. In our fast-paced society, opportunities to be deeply heard, respected and affirmed are scarce. I help clients from a position of respect and non-judgemental curiosity, while clarifying core beliefs, values and goals for change. The tools I have to offer are evidence-based and scientifically proven. The lens I use as I sit with clients is that every human being is a person of worth and value and deserves unconditional positive regard.

My background in expressive arts therapy, and training in trauma focused modalities such as EMDR, inform my approach to working with the effects of trauma.
Are you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself and from others? Are you struggling with distressing thoughts and feelings? Are you desiring to understand yourself better and to nourish aspects of yourself that have been dormant? Perhaps you are seeking a space to feel witnessed, supported, and understood. Together, we can explore where you are coming from, what is holding you back, and where you want to go. My experience as a counsellor continues to teach me about the transformative possibilities that exist as we dissolve the sense of aloneness that so many of us feel.

I am also an EMDRIA-approved Consultant in EMDR.
It is common for us as human beings to get to a place in life, where we can feel stuck and unsure of where to go next. It takes courage to take the first step in getting help to seek positive growth and change. If you're finding the idea of seeking help to be hard, just know that this can be normal. Growth and change can be uncomfortable, difficult, and even painful. We often avoid it, sometimes for years. Seeking help to change old patterns, to feel more grounded, and/or to help propel us into our preferred futures can be so important.

Health and well-being have been a central tenet of my life for over a decade now. My history as a health care professional has informed my counselling in that I believe any challenge we encounter will see impacts in our emotions, our thoughts, and our physical body. By tuning into all three, we can turn signs of distress into sources of insight, and as resources for self-soothing and emotional management. To that end, EMDR is my preferred approach for assisting clients in facing and moving through traumas big and small, integrated with elements of mindfulness, self-compassion, skill-building, and role-play techniques.
