Mental Health
Do you feels stressed out and overwhelmed? Are you finding it difficult to motivate yourself to do basic tasks, or paralyzed by anxiety and overthinking? If you are struggling with your mental health and want a practical plan to improve it I can help.
My approach is based on a mix of CBT and coaching. I’ll help you identify the thoughts and behaviours that are keeping you stuck and give you simple steps to find your way back to happiness and productivity.
Different mental health challenges I have experience helping clients with include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- ADHD
- Gender Dysphoria
- OCD
- Insomnia
- Addiction
Children & Youth
If your child is struggling with mental health challenges I can help give them the skills they need to cope in todays stress-filled world. Perhaps you’ve been getting into arguments over small things like chores or homework and you feel like you are walking around on egg-shells. I can work with you and your child to build a bridge of understanding and empathy on which to find a collaborative plan that meets both of your needs.
I started my counselling career working with Child and Youth Mental Health under the BC government and have experience working with children of all ages on a variety of mental health issues. My approach is collaborative and heavily involves the family because their family is the greatest resource your child has.
Gender Exploration
Do you feel uncomfortable in your body? Does gender dysphoria cause you daily stress and anxiety to the point where it overshadows everything going on your life? Gender exploratory therapy involves delving into potential factors contributing to gender dysphoria in a safe non-judgmental environment. Click here to learn more about gender exploratory therapy.
I have experience working with gender questioning clients and have helped them find ways to cope with gender dysphoria and better understand their gender identity and holistic self. If your child (whether dependent or young adult) is experiencing gender dysphoria I can work with them and you to support their mental health and explore with curiosity all aspects of their gendered self-concept.
ADHD
Have you had a recent ADHD diagnosis and are struggling to manage the competing demands of school/work and home life? Perhaps you’ve found medication helpful and are now looking for other ways of improving your focus and negative impact of ADHD on your daily functioning. I have extensive experience working with both youth and adults who have an ADHD diagnosis and can help you create a plan with simple steps to reduce the chaos in your life and bring structure and peace.
Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is most commonly treated with prescription medication, but there are also natural ways of treating ADHD we can discuss if you wish to wean yourself off of medication. ADHD can add stress and anxiety to your life and I’ll come along side you to develop a holistic plan that meets all of your needs.
Faith & Spirituality
Do you come from a Christian faith background and want your counselling experience to be integrated with your faith? I have helped many people who are struggling with issues related to their faith in God and how that impacts their view of themselves, others and the world.
In addition if you are anxious and depressed and want to have a counsellor who has a faith background I can provide an environment that is safe to explore your feelings in the context of a Christian worldview.
Gaming Disorder
Are video games taking up a disproportionate amount of your time? Do you find that excessive gaming is negatively impacting your sleep, work, school or relationships? Maybe you’re a parent who is worried about the negative impacts of gaming on your child. I can help you find a path to either balanced gaming, or eliminating gaming completely depending on your goals.
I have undergone clinical training in how to treat gaming disorder and helped many individual and families find balance and overcome the negative impacts of gaming. I will also help you identify and address any mental health concerns that may be the cause of the excessive gaming. Together we’ll create a holistic plan to address your goals and get you moving forward as soon as possible.
