Person-Centered Therapists in Maple Ridge, BC
I work from a deeply person-centered position (PCT).
Are you looking for a therapist who will accept you for who you are, right now, without judgement? Maybe you have long-term trauma that hasn't been addressed, or have parts of yourself that feel too shameful to speak about. I, too, have been there and realize how it is to feel vulnerable. With warmth and compassion, I will help you to address the vulnerable parts of yourself and look to your inner sense of knowing to bring them to light in a way that is trauma-informed and sensitive to your needs. I believe that only you what you truly need, and I can provide a supportive atmosphere for your self-work.

I am a person-centered therapist while using both trauma-informed therapies (EFT and mindfulness) and behaviour therapies (CBT and DBT).
As a therapist, I am all about connection and relationships. My job is to create space for you to explore your experiences while feeling connected and supported. My counselling style is flexible to suit the needs of my clients. My practice is centered on humour, empathy, and understanding to help guide clients to deal with the challenges that life presents. My first experience with counselling was as a client and what I enjoyed about the process was the ability to talk through my problems, feel supported and learn more about myself. My passion is to be able to provide that same support to my clients.

I work from a trauma-informed perspective, integrating a person-centered approach.
My deepest privilege is to come alongside you, listen as you share your story, and begin to help understand what happened to you. Past experiences shape some of how you view and process life experiences today. Your past informs your present. I can help you explore those experiences, how they have affected you in the past and now in your current relationships, your emotions and reactions...even how you perceive yourself, your kids, or your partner. Being curious may open the door to understanding, self-compassion, and also bring meaning and healing to your life. You will begin to notice you feel more "you".

Communication and trust is important in the counsellor/client relationship. I'm passionate in helping people feel better. Whether your struggling with anxiety, depression, or just going through a hard time, I will do my absolute best to support you. Most people need an outlet to process their life experiences. They want to be heard and not judged. They want to leave feeling better, motivated, with improved self esteem and awareness. It can be exhausting living with guilt, seeking approval by saying "yes" to things all the time, and needing to be perfect. Let's break these type of patterns together!

Let me pour you a cup of warm coffee or tea, while we sit & talk. Therapy doesn’t have to be a daunting, scary or uncomfortable process. Together, we'll sit & look at your past experiences, how they're affecting you today & what you can do to move towards a life where you can feel more fulfilment & happiness, while incorporating peace & calm in the process. We aren't meant to surrender to conflict ridden relationships, or to live a life where our grief or past traumas keep us feeling alone & misunderstood. Relationships with our parents, partners, family, friends or coworkers don't have to leave us frustrated & doubting ourselves.

You deserve to feel good about yourself. Even if that feels completely impossible right now. Even if a mean little gremlin of an inner critic has been telling you otherwise, maybe for your whole life. So many things get in the way when it comes to how we feel about ourselves and our lives - stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, dysfunctional relationships, toxic work environments, isolation, etc. It can feel like a million boulders piling up on top of you until you can't even see which way is up. I've been there and counselling was one of the things that helped me find the light again. The journey is easier with support.

Are you struggling with a recent or upcoming major change in your life? Transitions in our lives can be stressful and emotionally confusing at times. These changes (such as the start of end of a career, a relationship, or even a health challenge) can bring with them a host of new feelings, emotions, and concerns. In these times we can have an increase in our anxiety or symptoms of low mood, which can make the transition feel even more difficult. Having a caring and unbiased ear to talk to about these challenges can help.

My notion is based on the idea that when humans awaken to self-realization that we cannot control what happens to us in life, but we can control what we feel and how we will respond; then suffering is only a choice. My counselling style will help clients work towards developing control of their mental afflictions through a series of steps. I believe in building a solid foundational knowledge of the mind-body connection, strengthening self-awareness first, and then building upwards. What matters is my clients' current state of being.

The clients I work with understand that there is a spiritual thread that weaves beneath the surface of their lives, and they are seeking guidance on how to re-connect to this important aspect of who they are. I commonly work with fertility struggles, grief processing, depression, overwhelm, addictions, anxiety, relationship conflict, eating disorders, low self esteem, trust issues, and clients who are simply unhappy with the current state of their life. Ultimately, my clients are searching for balance between the mind, body and spirit aspects of self, which when in alignment, can lead to a heart-centered, joyful, fulfilling life.
