I believe counselling is for everyone.
No matter where you’re at in life, the opportunity to speak openly in a safe environment is something that most people find freeing and incredibly helpful. With that in mind, I generally see adults (19+) with the following range of concerns:
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma/PTSD
Life stress/burnout
Grief
Transition to motherhood/parenting
Relationship concerns
I approach counselling through a trauma informed lens, which means that I acknowledge and believe that our past directly influences our present.
Practically, this may look like exploring connections to past experiences, processing overwhelming emotions and beliefs associated with past trauma, and working with the parts of you that have been hurt and impacted in their wake.
I use a number of evidence based therapeutic approaches that inform and guide the work that I do, including:
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Processing (AEDP)
Internal Family Systems (parts work)
Mindfulness/ Mindful Self Compassion
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment
Attachment theory
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)
My rate is $180 per 50 minute session.
The fees are in accordance with BCACC standards. I accept Visa/Mastercard, cash, cheque or e-transfer which will be collected at the end of every session. Counselling with an RCC is covered under many extended benefit plans, so a receipt will be provided for you to submit after the session. Unfortunately I do not provide direct billing to insurance providers.
