Compassion and straightforwardness make up the cornerstone of how I work. As a counsellor, my goal is to help people recognise where they are, how they got there, and assist them in building a path forward.

I have been a counsellor since 2003 and hold a Masters of Education with a speciality in counselling. I am registered to provide counselling services for the First Nations Health Authority. You may be eligible for reimbursement of counselling services if you have a benefits package through your employer. Please check with them to see if you qualify.

I offer a complimentary telephone consultation so that we can determine if working together would be a good fit for you.

As a therapist, I am relational, experiential, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused. Because much of our suffering occurs as the result of being left unbearably alone in the face of overwhelming emotional experiences, our work together will be done in the context of a safe relationship, one that is characterized by secure attachment, where you are never alone with overwhelming emotional experiences. I use an integrative approach that draws on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), body-based therapies, attachment theory, inner child work, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.

Many men don’t talk about it openly, but feeling disconnected — from your partner, your emotions, or even from yourself — can quietly take a huge toll. Whether it shows up as withdrawal, shutting down, anger, overwhelm, ADHD-like overload, or not knowing how to express what you actually feel, the experience underneath is often the same: it’s lonely to carry life without feeling understood.

In therapy, I help men build the skills and inner foundation for healthier relationships — not just with others, but with themselves. I support clients navigating emotional shutdown, communication barriers, trauma, ADHD/ASD-related overwhelm, and the kind of quiet pain that rarely gets put into words.

I am part of the Chilliwack Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with men who carry more than most people will ever see — the weight of responsibility, pressure, loss, and anger that never quite finds a safe place to land. I’ve been in the helping profession since 1994, and my experience spans trauma, addiction, relationship breakdown, first responder burnout and compartmentalization, and the painful aftermath of reacting in ways that don’t reflect who you truly want to be.

Whether you’re working to manage anger, repair trust, or understand the roots of destructive patterns, therapy with me is about accountability without shame and healing without judgment. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s driving your reactions, strengthen self-control, and help you rebuild from a place of integrity and calm strength.

No judgment. No jargon. Just real conversations that help you get back to yourself.

I am part of the Surrey Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am grateful to have been working in the field of health and human services for over 23 years. I am humbled to provide clinical counselling services to individuals, families, couples and groups. In all of my interactions I centre safety, collaboration, trauma-informed practice, cultural humility, and compassion. I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology and a PhD with a  specialization in the field of substance use and addiction. I work alongside youth and adults involved with alcohol and/or other drugs and strive to meet people where they are at with both a strength-based and collaborative lens. My deep passion involves supporting family members and carers affected by substance use who may be seeking services in their own right, or a safe place to share their experience as they navigate the rollercoaster of loving a person involved with substances.

I am available to assist children, youth, adults, families, and couples experiencing stressors of mental health and/or substance use challenges, trauma, life transitions, health behaviour change, COVID, parenting/caregiving, grief and loss, or family conflict. I am available both in person and remotely.

I provide therapy for adults and youth struggling with depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and feeling directionless and purposeless in life. Having previously worked as a journalist, janitor, construction worker and kids’ camp counsellor, I know what it’s like to take time finding your way in life. I also understand the stigma around receiving mental health services and strive to provide confidential counselling. I tend to use evidenced-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I also employs a client-centred approach to therapy, prioritizing efficient and effective therapy.

My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and draws largely from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) – a relational and emotion-focused approach. I believe each person is the expert in their own life and inherently has the knowledge and resources necessary to guide the therapeutic process, make changes, and move toward their preferred ways of living. I am here to support you with this process.

I have a reputation for being non-judgmental and gentle in my approach, which promotes the sense of safety and openness necessary to collaboratively unpack and find relief from the challenges of life. Often, this involves building awareness of old emotional patterns and working together to develop and experience new and preferred patterns in session.

Pragmatic and Solution Oriented. First, I clear up any vague or unclear treatment goals or confusions. Before assuming that there is a problem based on faulty thinking, I review the basic life situation to make sure that basic human needs are being met. I take into account any impulses and direction that come from the deeper, more authentic Self (psycho-spiritual issues). When indicated, I will work with dreams, metaphor, and imagination. On a good day, I help people make the necessary changes to their inner and outer worlds, so their goals are met.
