Find a Therapist in Peachland, British Columbia.

Clients wanting to understand thoughts & feelings they have now & that results in certain behaviours will be explored. Traumas in the past are looked at. If anxiety is prominant at that time, Therapy is delayed & help offered with the anxiety present. A Client able to relatively be in touch with their feeling will aid therapy. Therapy is conducted in a safe, supportive environment, allowing the Client to share their unique story.

My approach is rooted in creating a collaborative and empathetic space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe in the power of a therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect, serving as a foundation for the transformative process of self-discovery and healing. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Humanistic approaches, I tailor my methods to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. By fostering a non-judgmental environment, I aim to empower clients to openly express themselves and work towards understanding the underlying factors influencing their behaviours.

Patterns of self-sabotaging behavioural, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business, stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for and accepted. Working with me means looking with curiosity, compassion and an educated-eye at how old wounds of betrayal, abandonment and rejection show up to block living your best life. You are not alone and there is hope.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change. I offer EMDR and other trauma processing approaches to support you in your healing when appropriate.

Psychotherapy can be effective and greatly beneficial for couples, individuals and families. We strive to create a safe and understanding environment where we work in a collaborative manor based on your goals and needs. We will work with a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs providing optimal results. Through psychotherapy you can begin to see yourself and your world through a non partial and neutral lens. Through the clarity and acceptance of your authentic self we will work to build your tools for ongoing personal growth and success, independent of counselling.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're caught in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy offers a space to better understand the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that shape how you move through the world. Using a blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches, we'll explore both the emotional and physical patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we'll help you develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence so you can navigate challenges more effectively and create meaningful, lasting change.
