Individual Counselling

Counselling offers a space for you to be heard and your story to be acknowledged in a compassionate way. Counsellors hold space for your story, suggest strategies for resolving symptoms, and provide guidance as you move toward personal growth and healing. Individual counselling can be in-person or online.

2.

Brain Mapping/ Neurofeedback

A brain map is a 21 channel Electroencephalogram (EEG) that assesses your unique brain wave patterns. A 12 page report is generated describing the strengths and challenges of your brain. 

 

Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) is a form of direct neurofeedback that allows the brain to re-set itself for optimal performance.

3.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an extensively researched approach proven effective for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, anxiety, compulsive behaviours, substance use, phobias, complex grief, and many other mental health problems. EMDR can be in-person or online.

4.

Low Level Laser Therapy

LLLT, also known as photobiomodulation or red light therapy, describes the use of low levels of near-infrared light to regenerate and optimize cellular function. PBM has been applied to treat concussion & traumatic brain injury (TBI), anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms, to reduce brain fog and enhance mental clarity, reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and more!

My Approach

In my practice, I strive to create an atmosphere of warmth, compassion and safety. I work collaboratively with my clients, creating a plan together, that will help them reach their goals. I use talk therapy including modalities of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Gottman and Emotion Focused Therapy. As well, I am a specialist in Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, EMDR and LLLT. I describe my practice as, "Counselling PLUS" because you can receive talk therapy, but also access a range of other powerful therapies to bring about change, growth and healing more quickly.

This combination of education and training gives me a unique, knowledgeable and holistic approach to both physical and mental health issues. I am an expert in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback and have 15 years of experience in this field. I love living in the Okanagan and especially enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, cycling and hiking.
