A Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in BC is a mental health professional recognized by the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). RCCs have a master’s-level education in counselling or a related field, have completed extensive clinical supervision, and meet strict ethical and professional standards. Working with an RCC means you're receiving care from someone trained to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and relationship challenges using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy. Many RCCs, including myself, offer in-person or online counselling in BC, making it easier to access confidential and professional mental health support from the comfort of your home.
I help clients overcome a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including trauma, PTSD therapy, anxiety treatment, grief counseling, depression therapy, boundary-setting issues, burnout recovery, and healing childhood wounds. My therapy services are designed to support individuals dealing with the effects of emotional trauma, childhood trauma, and relationship difficulties. Whether you're struggling with PTSD, seeking help for anxiety and stress, or need support for depression and grief, I offer personalized trauma counseling to help you heal and regain emotional balance. If you're facing burnout or trying to improve self-esteem and set healthy boundaries, I can guide you toward lasting healing and personal growth.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective therapy for treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and emotional distress. Through EMDR therapy, clients process traumatic memories and negative emotions using Bilateral Stimulation, typically through guided eye movements, which helps the brain reprocess memories in a healthier way. EMDR is recognized for its ability to alleviate the lasting effects of PTSD, grief, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. If you’re struggling with unresolved trauma, negative beliefs, or disturbing memories, EMDR counselling can support your healing journey. Reach out today to learn more about how EMDR therapy for PTSD can transform your emotional well-being.
Therapy can be incredibly effective in addressing people-pleasing behaviours, low self-worth, and imposter syndrome by helping individuals identify the root causes of these issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through trauma counselling for self-worth issues and techniques tailored to build self-esteem, therapy can guide clients in overcoming negative thought patterns and self-doubt. If you're struggling with low self-esteem in BC or dealing with the effects of imposter syndrome, therapy can help you reclaim confidence, set healthier boundaries, and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth.
Yes, I offer CVAP counselling for crime victims in BC. Eligible clients can receive fully covered therapy sessions under the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP), which provides financial support for counselling services for crime victims dealing with emotional and psychological impacts of crime. If you’ve been a victim of crime in BC, you may qualify for no-cost counselling through this program. Contact me to learn more about CVAP eligibility and how our professional therapy services can help support your healing process.
No, I do not offer traditional couples or relationship counselling. That being said, many couples find that working on individual trauma healing and addressing personal issues can significantly improve their relationship dynamics. Through individual therapy for trauma, self-worth issues, and emotional healing, many clients experience positive changes that enhance their interactions with their partner. By focusing on personal growth and resolving individual challenges, such as low self-esteem or relationship trauma, couples often see improvements in communication, intimacy, and overall connection.
