Every individual has experienced life challenges and adversity. Sometimes, life can feel out of our control. My desire is to “sit” with clients in their suffering and help them regain a sense of control. I believe in the healing power of a strong and collaborative therapeutic relationship and work to achieve a counselling environment of safety, trust, and nonjudgment. When applicable, I love to laugh with clients and feel comfortable sharing my own embarrassing and challenging experiences.
I conceptualize mental wellness from a biopsychosocial perspective—that is, I view clients’ struggles as a combination of biological, psychological, and social (in addition to cultural and spiritual) factors. I feel this represents a more holistic and inclusive perspective for clients. My therapeutic approach derives from a combination of trauma-informed, attachment-based, EMDR, Direct Neurofeedback and cognitive behavioural therapy.
I have worked with a variety of populations, ranging from children to elderly adults. Some of the issues I explore with clients include anxiety, depression, abuse, life transitions, anger, grief, couples/marriage issues, stress management, self-worth, and trauma. In addition, I also work with clients dealing with sport and performance issues. This is particularly close to me, as I came to terms with many of my own performance issues as an NCAA athlete.
I received my Master of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology from Trinity Western University. The Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association has certified me in good standing as a Canadian Certified Counsellor.
I would be honoured to help you overcome your life challenges and support you in experiencing healing and growth.
