Insurance: I am trained as a Relational Somatic Therapist and registered as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists (ACCT). Many insurance companies cover Registered Therapeutic Counselling under 'counselling.' At this time, I do not offer direct billing. Please check with your insurance provider if they will cover Registered Therapeutic Counselling.

I offer in-person individual somatic therapy & registered counselling sessions in my cozy office in South Surrey, BC. Located just off of King George Boulevard, across from Choices Market, my office is about two blocks away from the Semiahmoo Trail - you can enjoy a beautiful walk outdoors before or after our session, or sit by the lily pad pond!

Step 1: Free Telephone Consultation

Our first step together is a complimentary 20 minute phone consultation to answer your questions and see if working together is a mutual fit. If you're ready to book a consult, you can click the button below, or use the form on my contact page to get in touch.

I will ask you about what you are currently experiencing, and your goals for therapy - how would you feel if you really got the result you are desiring? What is your vision for yourself?

Step 2: Our Initial Session

If you feel resonance with my approach and it seems like I can support your goals, we will book an initial session. I don't keep a waitlist, and often have availabilities within a week of our initial call. I've learned that when you're ready for counselling, you're usually ready now. After our first session, we will decide what makes sense for an ongoing treatment plan together.

Step 3: Creating a Treatment Plan Together

  • Long-term support: I offer long-term support for clients who want to experience nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and re-patterning through new neural pathways for transformation. When people are seeking support for developmental trauma such as childhood abuse, or resolving chronic pain or anxiety, long-term support is best.

  • Short-term support: If you are looking to explore a specific issue, such as making an important decision or processing a recent traumatic event, I suggest a minimum of 3 sessions to experience and integrate the profound benefits of somatic therapy.

  • Urgent Debrief: If you've been responding and supporting others through crisis events such as drug poisonings and mental health crises, I also offer one-time low-cost urgent crisis debrief sessions for frontline workers, outreach workers and shelter workers during British Columbia's Opioid Emergency.

Is somatic therapy right for me?

My services might be for you if:

  • you've tried talk therapy or traditional counselling and haven't found a client-therapist relationship that feels right

  • you're struggling from symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression and want to try 'alternative' treatments

  • you're sick of psychoanalyzing yourself and want to experience a different paradigm of healing

  • you're curious about more intuitive, ancient and holistic approaches like energy healing, shamanism and meditation

  • you want to learn about your nervous system so you can understand your reactions and responses

  • you're interested trying new things, and want to try a creative (and sometimes playful) approach

it's probably not for you if....

  • you're seeking counselling as a treatment for a psychiatric diagnosis such as bipolar II or schizophrenia.

  • you're in urgent crisis or suicidal ideation - here are two BC crisis lines that offer immediate, 24-hour access to services for anyone in the province considering suicide or those with mental health or substance use challenges.

    • 1800SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) is for individuals considering suicide, or for those who are concerned about someone who may be at risk of suicide.

    • 310Mental Health Support (310-6789) is a crisis line that provides emotional support, information and resources specific to mental health and substance use disorders.
