Biographical Info I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor through the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I have a Bachelor of Education and a Masters of Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia. I have worked with children, teachers, parents, and adolescents in the public school system for 16 years- first as a teacher and now as a school counsellor. I am a person-centered counsellor with an emphasis on emotions to regulate the nervous system and create safety. I am a Certified Therapist in the Foundations of Neuroscience and Satir in the Sand Tray. This technique helps clients access implicit memories and experiences that are stored in the body and cannot be accessed through talk therapy alone. In addition, I have play therapy training using the Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) approach. I have watched individuals strive to feel good inside, to understand themselves, and learn new ways of being as their brain develops, which is why I work from a neurobiological and child development view. I believe people need support, care, and understanding, and I know the importance of creating safe and encouraging bonds with others. Having a reassuring witness through life is essential and promotes healing. We are connected beings who are not meant to be alone with our suffering. When we surround ourselves with people who believe in us, it is incredible what we can accomplish. Having young children myself, I support parents, and I understand the demands placed on people to manage all of life's responsibilities. I have personally found the work of Dr. Becky Kennedy, Dan Siegel, Gordon Neufeld, and Gary Landreth to be highly beneficial in my own parenting in addition to staying current on child and neuroscientific developmental research. Behaviour is communication. You can book an appointment by contacting me directly at📧[email protected]. I work on Mondays. I charge $150 for a 50-minute in-person or telephone session.
