I believe change is possible no matter what obstacles are placed on your path. It is within your grasp to build up coping strategies to handle life’s challenges. I endeavor to work with clients to create a bank of resources to manage difficult feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and situations. This enables a sense of security when a withdrawal is required from one’s emotional bank account. A design for coping and living is established in the therapeutic alliance between counsellor and client. Evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are introduced and implemented. I value open communication, honesty, and authenticity in my counselling approach when working with people.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University along with a Bachelor of Education. As a former teacher with 18 years of experience, I look forward to working with adults and youth. I enjoy meeting clients who are in a variety of circumstances and situations. I aspire to provide quality care in the domains of disordered eating, relationships, anxiety, and depression in addition to grief and loss. My practicum took place at Cedars Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island where I specialized in the treatment of addictions. I bring genuine empathy and understanding to those struggling with substance use disorders through my own recovery.

I am happy to offer daily, evening, and Saturday services in both French and English.

All my relations, Allison

Therapy & Assessment

Whether you want to clarify and figure out what’s happening for you or your family member, transform the core of what troubled you continually, a space to process what’s happened, supports to help you cope or adjust, to know yourself better, or to learn to thrive – I would love to support you. For the last eight years, I have worked in hospital, community, agency, school, and private settings in different cultural contexts, providing therapy and assessment for mild to chronic, complex diagnoses and concerns. Kids, Teens, Adults, Families, Groups, etc.

Assessment can help you clarify, understand, and find the right support for what is troubling you. Whether that’s educational, ADHD, psychological, social, cognitive, or emotional.

Therapy can support you through your struggle to find relief and well-being. Grief/Loss, Trauma, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Parenting/Family, Child, Relationship issues, Personality concerns, and adjustment are some of the ailments I work with. Assessment can identify things such as learning disorders, ADHD, traumatic disorders and others.

I specialise in working with you to discover and transform the deep, unresolved matters that have created trouble for you over a long period, through a humanistic, phenomenological, creative process of self-discovery. Assessment follows a more scientific approach additionally.

I am a deeply supportive, empathic, compassionate listener who understands that sometimes growth requires being challenged too. I believe in well-being because of shared humanity. I also believe in simple-solutions first, and will present them candidly. That said, I do not profess to have all the answers, but I do believe we can discover the way, together. It is an honour to accompany clients into the core of their woundedness. As we journey to find missing parts, grieve what is lost, mend what is broken, and find simple and clean ways of weaving a vibrant, joyous, and whole self.
