In today’s busy world it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or avoid experiences that steal our joy. Life can be unpredictable, and it’s so disheartening to feel disconnected from others or even ourselves, which is where a genuine connection in a counselling relationship can help. I favor Rogerian, Adlerian, Existential, Gestalt, IFS, EFT, and Psychodynamic counselling frameworks in, while also integrating CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication. Having worked with trauma-survivors from various sociocultural backgrounds for several years, I am characteristically trauma-attuned, culturally responsive, and integrate and inform clients of relevant findings in neuroscience. I have supported people of various faiths, including those who experience faith-deconstruction, and have considerable experience helping recipients of psychedelic-assisted treatments to integrate their insights and experiences. I’m active, adventurous, love to travel, have become very familiar with grief and loss, and yet maintain a robust faith and spirituality. Everyone struggles to make sense of certain problems on their own – at least sometimes… but perhaps together, we can help you to live more of your life by those things that matter most and achieve some momentum towards those things that you’ve been longing for.
If this seems right for you, then let’s connect…
I have lived and worked in Prince George for 25 years. Having completed a Masters degree in Counselling, I have had the privilege of working in several different areas over the years including social assistance, homelessness, addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychosis, eating disorders, and autism. Trauma has often been an underlying theme for people I have worked with and I have developed a deep interest in learning how trauma effects the brain and nervous system and the various ways that people can find healing and relief. I am passionate about supporting and walking alongside others as they strive toward healing and wholeness. I am trained in EMDR and Lifespan Integration Therapy, I also draw from other therapeutic approaches in my work including Somatic Experiencing, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, CBT,DBT and ACT. Additionally, I have spent the last few years working with several neurodiverse women gaining further knowledge and experience of how autism often presents differently in girls and women and how better to support them.
I offer a focused approach for in-person counselling in Somatic Experiencing, a body-orientated therapeutic model that helps to heal trauma and other conditions related to stress. I have deep respect for the unique wisdom, insight, strengths, and internal/external resources that the people I work with bring to their lives and the process of healing or change. I hold care & respect for the beautiful and unceded ancestral lands, culture and people of the Lheidli T’enneh.
I am registered with the British Columbia College of Social Workers (#13881) & have over 10 years of experience working with children, youth, adults, families, and professional communities in various areas of focus, including mental health, substance use, grief, chronic stress, and trauma.
I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) after completing the 3-year program with Somatic Experiencing International (SEI). SEI is the leading authority on the Somatic Experiencing method. I am also a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), which is an internationally respected organization supporting quality assurance in the practice, research, and teaching of Motivational Interviewing; a strengths-based person-centered counselling modality.
Outside of work, I have a deep love for family, friends that have become family, travel adventures, photography, paddle boarding, and being outdoors.
Living with chronic pain, hurts & trauma? My focus is to offer hope, through meaningful & transformative counselling… for you that are struggling with chronic pain trauma, dissociation, anxiety & attachment hurts. My approach is integrative of your whole self, offering EMDR, OEI, CBT, ACT, Satir systems, Safe & Sound Protocol listening, somatic therapies, and including spirituality & existentialism. You may most benefit from profoundly transformative VIP Intensives where we meet for a longer session to power through a significant block, or integrative co-therapy sessions with Myron’s osteopathy treatment. In other words, I have flexible integrative strategies to offer for your complex needs.
Counsellor looking for Clinical Supervision? I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor w/ BCACC. I offer group, dyad or individual consultation or person-of-the-therapist process, including practicums for student therapists. I have 20 years of experience & training in Trauma & Dissociation techniques & theories, and now pursuing Certification from the Center for Advanced Studies of Trauma & Dissociation. I am also a Master Trainer in OEI, offering training or supervision in those techniques. Book a free 15 minute telephone consultation to see if we’re a good fit together!
Everyone has struggles, yet each person is capable of growth and healing. As a counsellor, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard and understood and to help individuals recognize their potential by deepening their self-awareness.
For over 20 yrs, I taught in elementary schools across BC. While I loved teaching, my transition to counselling was driven by a desire to support individuals on their mental health and wellness journeys.
My special interests are
● Coping with anxiety & stress
● Depression
● Neurodivergence
● Relationship and Communication Skills
● Trauma
● OEI Therapy
● Safe & Sound Protocol
I look forward to working with children, teens, adults, couples, families and groups.
In my personal life, I enjoy being active in the outdoors, gardening, and spending time with my loved ones and my dogs.
I am a BC registered massage therapist and a nationally registered sport massage certification candidate. My motto is “It doesn’t have to hurt to heal”. I am active with numerous sporting groups working with individuals and teams ranging in skill from professional to recreational. Although sport is a passion, I am skilled to deal with all ages and many different conditions. I live in Prince George with my wife Tanya and two children.
I was born and raise in Prince George and now have a deep-seated desire to see this community flourish.
With a background in Psychology and a heart for people, it is my goal to ensure a positive and welcoming experience for every client that enters BiTS. By supporting the health and wellbeing of each client, we will effectually strengthen the health of our northern community as a whole.
I am one of the admin assistants at Bedford Integrative Therapeutic Clinic. Ultimately, I seek to bring a warm, organized presence to the team.
Born and raised in Prince George, I have completed over two years of studies at UNBC and am preparing to begin the Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA) program at Thompson Rivers University.
