Welcome to Chrysalis Counselling

You are in emotional, maybe even physical, pain.  You feel "off", or just not yourself.  A lack of rhythm, balance and boundaries creates discomfort.  We will work together to embody rhythm and balance, where the spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual parts of life create a more comfortable and harmonious whole. 

Come gain some insight into your thoughts, emotions and behaviours in order to increase your sense of well-being, and improve your relationships with yourself, others, the environment, and God. 

We will pay close attention to the information your body gives us, and work at regulating the intense emotions through awareness, inquiry, interventions, and reflections. You will master concrete and practical skills, strategies and techniques to keep you on your path to health and happiness.  

I have studied, and incorporate into my practice theory and approaches such as:  Somatic Transformation, Dialectial Behaviour Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Attachment theory, Family Systems, Developmental and Interpersonal Psychotherapy.   I also integrate neurofeedback into my practice to re-establish our connection to the body's wisdom, and remind the mind how to self-heal.

Build your confidence and competence in your clinical practice.

I am certified by the BCACC to provide Supervision.  This is an imposed relationship where the Supervisor is legally responsible for the work of the counsellor Supervisee.  There is an obligation for the Supervisee to follow direction of the Supervisor.

This is a collaborative look at issues such as ethics, integration of theory and practice, reducing counsellor isolation and the collegial development of fresh perspectives to get "unstuck" in your work with clients.
