Counselling can be the
catalyst for change. By using your past as a source of strength for your
future, you can evolve and grow into being the best you can be.
Counselling can be the connection that moves you toward the happy and healthy
life you deserve.
At First Light
Counselling you'll find a supportive, safe and non-judgmental environment where
you can talk openly and confidentially about your concerns and feelings.
Together we can help you find new ways for coping and living fully that will
help you move forward psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.
I believe that
counselling is a collaborative effort wherein you and I bring our skills,
knowledge and insights to resolve your conflicts. I am a dedicated professional
and committed to providing quality counselling. For me each individual is
valued for their uniqueness and acknowledging one's past, present, beliefs and
values allows for the building of hopes and dreams.
I am a Canadian
Certified Counsellor (CCC#1580) and a Registered Clinical Counsellor
(RCC#3547). I have a Master of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology from
Trinity Western University. I also have a Bachelor of Arts with a Major in
Psychology and a Minor in Spanish from the University of BC.
I offer a
professional, faith-based counselling and educational service to children,
adolescents, individuals, couples and families. I do not presume that all
clients want or will be receptive to a Christian perspective in counselling. As
the client, you have the opportunity to decide whether you wish this to be part
of your therapy. However, having a faith-based practice affords anyone the
opportunity to bring any and all faiths into the counselling session should
they so desire.
My counselling experience
over the last few years has connected me with clients of diverse backgrounds,
cultures and experiences. I have worked in community agencies providing therapy
to individuals dealing with issues such as mental health, substance abuse and
general personal and relationship concerns. I have also worked as a counsellor
in a private men's treatment centre for addiction on the West Coast of British
Columbia.
