Therapy for the moments life feels heavier than it should.

in-person in Chilliwack & Abbotsford · online across BC

That's often because what's underneath isn't a thinking problem. It's something you learned to do a long time ago, for reasons that made sense then, and no one's given it a reason to stop since.

I work slowly and I work with what's actually there — including the parts of you that don't want to be in therapy at all.

People come to me for:

  • anxiety that won't switch off, even when nothing's wrong

  • trauma that's still shaping choices years later

  • feeling flat, tired, and going through the motions

  • distance in a relationship that used to feel easy

You may have already read the books. Tried the breathing exercises. Talked it through with people who love you. And some part of it still won't move.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Chilliwack and Abbotsford. I came to this work through years spent alongside people in the hardest moments of their lives — and through some hard stretches of my own.

I ask a lot of questions. I'm usually curious about what's underneath the thing you came in to talk about, because most of us are carrying something we've never quite put words to. I don't think we were built to sort that out alone.

Starting is the hardest part. Here's what it looks like


01

A free 15-minute call

We talk briefly about what's bringing you in and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll help you find someone who is.


02


A first session

Mostly you talking and me asking questions. You don't need to arrive with it figured out.


03


Ongoing work

Usually weekly to start, then less often as things shift. You're free to stop whenever you want.


Sessions are 50 minutes · $150.00 individuals · $175.00 couples
Many extended health plans cover services from a Registered Clinical Counsellor

When you're ready.

There's no rush, and no obligation. Send a message and I'll get back to you within one business day — or book a free 15-minute call if you'd rather just talk.
