Individual Counselling in Langley, Abbotsford, and Online

Are you facing adversity, painful emotions, difficult relationships, diminished sense of self, or past traumas? Do you judge yourself harshly, feel stuck or lost? I believe that we all have resilience and strength to cope with life's challenges of unpredictability and overwhelming experiences. With the right type of counselling it is possible to discover a sense of ownership and insight into your self where profound embodied change can occur.

You are not alone, we all meet challenges that require us to dig deep and find our inner strength to keep growing.

As a trauma-informed and relational counsellor I will listen and go at your pace. I lead with the values of acceptance, collaboration, and empowerment so that you feel truly supported and safe. I work with clients on a variety of issues including grief and loss, depression, anxiety, OCD, divorce, aging, and personal development. I have specialized in working with PTSD and complex trauma related to abuse or partner violence.

Many of us have struggled with making decisions, concentration, and motivation which is a direct result of managing multiple states of change. When everyday things become more difficult we may experience frustration, worry, and overwhelming emotions.

I offer authentic empathy to clients living through difficult times. Together we can explore your overwhelming or confusing experiences and gain clarity about your unique path. Courage is required to start counselling or build an alliance with a new counsellor and I am honoured be invited into that process.
