Find a Therapist in Cumberland, British Columbia.

As a "Generalist" counsellor, I utilize various treatment modalities as per the needs/issues presented by my client. My role as I see it, is to "lead by following". The goals developed are the goals of the client. I actively support the counselling process by identifying issues, events, relationships that facilitate a deeper understanding as to what the client needs from counselling, in order for them to find resolution within. Some of my modalities may include Family Systems, Narrative, Mindfulness-Cognitive, Existential, and Psycho-Dynamic.

Fundamental to the work is a good therapeutic relationship. That is, we have the collaboration and trust to combine your knowledge of yourself and your situation and my skills and knowledge of the clinical issues to make change happen. With established trust and rapport between us, we can develop a structureless structure for our treatment plan. That is, one flexible enough to give space to deal with thoughts and feelings spontaneously each week, and structured enough to accomplish your goals.

Psychotherapy and counselling are terms that are often used interchangeably. All of our therapists are trained in a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities and are equipped to modify their approach to meet the unique strengths and needs of our clients.

Psychotherapy is commonly used for both short-term and long-term therapy to help clients come to a harmonious state of being.

I provide person centered counselling and mediation services to individuals, couples and families. I use a brief solution focused approach as well as cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness practices. My approach focuses on empathetic listening, solutions, and moving issues and relationships forward. I have a proven track record in assisting people to collaborate and to effect positive change in their lives and relationships. I value your privacy and all aspects of the sessions are confidential.

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. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. 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.
