LIFE IS HARD! And sometimes it's just plain rotten. There ... someone said it. It's normal to not know how to manage challenges that you've never gone through -- or maybe it's something you've been through a number of times and haven't yet found a way to solve the issue. The most important thing to realize is that you're not alone and support IS out there.

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON:

Past traumas or PTSD
Depression and anxiety
Grief
Self-worth or self-esteem
Suicidal ideation
Addictions

WHAT WE WILL DO TOGETHER:

Build a strong rapport and trust
Tailor-make your therapy plan to your specific history and goals
Identify the presenting issues
Identify underlying issues that may still be impacting you today
Decide which modality would work best for you
Proceed at your pace, even if that is baby steps
Laugh. It is important to have light-hearted moments too!

POSSIBLE MODALITIES:

Stabilization (grounding) tools. Before delving into anything difficult, you will need the skills to manage the emotions that come up
EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to work on traumas such as childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, relationship abuse, interpersonal violence
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to minimize those pesky intrusive negative beliefs about yourself that probably sound like someone else's voice
Solution-Focussed Brief Counselling for today's pressing issues. Please note: often "today's issues" are triggered by or rooted in past events or relationships
Gottman (Level 2 trained). While this is mainly for couples, I have found the skills useful across all ages and all types of relationships, including parents and their children

COST:

$150 + GST (total $157.50) per 50 minute session
I can provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement
Please check with your insurance company to ensure that they cover the "CCC" license (some only cover the "RCC" license)

LOCATION:

In-person sessions are in White Rock
Online sessions (using Doxy.me) for clients across Canada

AVAILABILITY:

Currently accepting new clients (no waitlist)
Daytime openings on Fridays and Saturdays; other days may open up

EDUCATION:
