Registered Clinical Counsellor, RCC #3164

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Brainspotting (BSP)

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

It is important to me that my clients feel safe.  It is in this safety that you can reconnect with your vulnerability as strength and restore your sense of Self to live life with more authenticity and intentionality.

 

My IFS and BSP training helps me guide clients to make sense of their inner worlds and the good reasons behind the coping strategies that have become stuck patterns.  For couple therapy, when IFS is complemented with EFT,  patterns of conflict can be reframed to understand how each partner's protective strategies can unknowingly create danger cues in the relationship.  For individual therapy, IFS is described by trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk as the leading therapeutic model for deep healing; he argues that IFS is "the treatment method that all clinicians should know to treat clients effectively.”  These attachment-based approaches also inform my counselling work with children and families in schools.

 

I value the trust clients place in me to walk alongside their important journey.  I live in Vancouver and the Gulf Islands with my wife and three kids.
