I have offered psychotherapy services since 2012 through my priv ate practice\, Ripple Affect. I am a member in good standing with the Brit ish Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors\, the Canadian Counsellin g and Psychotherapy Association\, EMDR Canada and EMDRIA (Eye Movement Des ensitization and Reprocessing International Association). I am also a memb er in good standing with the British Columbia Teachers Federation and with TESL Canada.\nClients and consultees have said that my gentle\, calm\, an d non-judgmental presence helps them to feel safe and cared for throughout the counselling or consultation process. With over 30 years' experience w orking in the education field as a counsellor\, behaviour support worker a nd teacher\, I have learned that when you teach to the student with the gr eatest needs\, you can teach to every student in a classroom. As a clinica l counsellor and EMDRIA Therapist and Consultant\, this thinking has influ enced my specialization in EMDR for clients who have experienced Complex-P TSD. I believe that this specialization builds competencies to work with a variety of clients and offers consultees strong support in their learning and growth.\nI have diverse experience working with individuals and famil ies\; clients who have experienced childhood trauma\, abuse/violence\, dom estic abuse\, accidents\, grief and loss. I have experience working with t he following diagnoses: PTSD\, DID\, Complex-PTSD\, Bipolar\, Borderline\, Depression\, Anxiety\, and Personality Disorders.
