​WHY CONSIDER THERAPY?
Therapy can be helpful for children, youth, and families who are experiencing trauma, stress, life transitions, difficulty maintaining relationships, feeling controlled by emotions, or in crisis situations. Therapy can also be beneficial to improve various aspects of life by learning new skills in communicating with others, improving self-esteem, or increasing motivation to reach personal goals. Therapy is an investment in your physical health, mental health, and quality of life.

I provide counselling services to children, youth, young adults, and families in the Chilliwack and Hope, BC areas. The following link may also help to answer some initial questions regarding therapy for your child.

​WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THERAPY?
  • Improving emotional and psychological wellness through therapy may lead to positive growth in other areas of life
  • Accessing support when life is challenging or confusing can increase your understanding of current and past situations and provide opportunities to learn new skills to improve the problem, now and in the future
  • Increased feelings of competence, self-love, self-worth, emotional resiliency, and motivation
  • Improvements in physical health, relationships, work-life balance, spiritual health, and relationship with mind-body connection

WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?
Making the decision to begin counselling is often a difficult one. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable by asking for support is challenging for many people. Often, the decision takes time.
