Find a Therapist in Aldergrove, British Columbia.

Throughout my life and educational career, I have learned the benefits of understanding how our brain and body develop and impact each other. The brain is like any other body part - when injured or not functioning properly, it requires proper attention and care to heal and strengthen it back to a higher functioning state. It is with this knowledge that we can begin to understand ourselves and our own reactions more. My goal is to help you find a path towards self-compassion and a clearer sense of self, while also working together to seek out alternative solutions to create a healthier mindset.

I strongly believe that psychotherapy is an art. This is the reason I integrate different approaches and modalities when working with clients based on their goals and their current situation. In other words, I use my years of training and my clinical experience to make sure what we do is helpful to you. I have done training in approaches that focus on thoughts and cognitions such as CBT, approaches that are more emotionally focused such as AEDP and approaches that are more body focused such as SP. This helps us to give equal attention to all parts of your experience such as your feelings, your thoughts and your body. You will feel more integrated and whole as a result.

If you find yourself stuck in patterns around food, relationships or difficult emotions, you're not alone. I offer a calm and confidential space where you can begin to make sense of what you're going through. My work is grounded in attachment and emotion focused approaches, which helps you to understand how your past experiences and relationships shape your present struggle. You may be facing an eating disorder, binge eating, a relationship difficulty or the weighed down by past experiences, we can work together to create meaningful change through practical tools and therapies that support deeper, lasting transformation.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to take a step back from your life and reflect on what matters to you. It used to be thought that if you need a "shrink" i.e. head shrinker, there's something wrong with you! These days, we know that the demands of our fast paced lives can get us down and we may not be aware of the reasons. We may be too close to our own issues. In psychotherapy, we can slow down and have help to examine what comes up in the context of our difficulties. Our bodies and emotions register reactions that we may not understand. Psychotherapy can help open a space to let new realities unfold through honouring small reactions that can be understood in the larger context.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey toward self-awareness and healing. Utilizing trauma-informed and integrative techniques, I help clients explore emotional patterns, work through past wounds, and develop resilience. This process empowers you to face challenges with new perspectives and tools, fostering personal growth and lasting change. Lets get in touch today.

In psychotherapy, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences to gain deeper self-understanding. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual, I help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies, and work through personal challenges. Clients benefit by increasing self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, and building resilience. This process fosters personal growth, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of balance and well-being in everyday life.

Psychotherapy with me will offer you a secure non-judgmental relationship to grow in your goals. Together we will explore what is bringing you into therapy and with compassion and curiousity notice what comes up for you when you seek to make change. As we explore what comes up, we will use tools to get to the roots of those blocks and discover deeper part of you that can provide you with that felt sense of relief and new found energy.
