Hi! I’m Nicole. I support adults, couples, and families to find direction, relational harmony, and purpose when navigating life’s challenges. Whether it be grief, transition, trauma, illness, relational conflict, anxiety, or otherwise, it is my greatest joy to come alongside you in your journey of reconciling life’s inevitable sufferings with the surest kind of freedom: that of an internal quality, which cannot be threatened even by the most challenging of circumstances. As the saying goes, “He who has a ‘why’ to live can bear almost any ‘how.’”

In our sessions, we will focus on moving beyond behavior and relational patterns to better appreciate the needs, emotions, and learned experiences that drive you at your core. Through this process, we will discover areas of both fear and growth; injury and healing; and resistance and change, which will guide our path toward healing and freedom.

Registered Clinical Counsellor (#18255) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors

M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trinity Western University (to be conferred in 12/2021)

M.Div from Regent College

B.A. in Psychology and Family Studies from University of British Columbia

Counselling is making space for understanding, healing, and moving forward. My mission is to provide a safe space for clients to be heard and to experience change. I work with individuals, couples, and families from a systemic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based framework. My clinical approach is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I believe that the key ingredients for change involve growing in a healthy relationship with one’s emotions and connection with others. I am excited about the opportunity to help clients discover, explore, and try something new.

Along with my counselling experiences, I have church ministry experience serving individuals and families as a pastor for over 10 years.

Dr. Diane Poole Heller writes, “We are not capable of healing in isolation. We need other people. We are hurt in relationship, and we heal in relationship.”

Whether you are experiencing difficulties on your own, with a significant other, or with multiple members of the family, know that you are not alone. I am available and committed to listen and walk alongside you in your journey towards understanding, healing, and growth.

Some of the areas that I work with include:

Relationship Difficulties

Anxiety

Depression

Trauma

Spiritual Issues

Pornography

Life & Career Transitions

Cultural Adjustment

Shame

Registered Psychologist (#2119) in British Columbia.

Ph.D in Clinical Psychology from Biola University

M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Biola University

M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University

B.A. in Psychology from University of Victoria

My training and experience focus around working with individuals and couples, and integrating faith with counselling. I have a passion for healthy marriages and helping people find healing and wholeness.

In working with couples I work from an Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) framework, helping you better understand your patterns of connection and disconnection. This typically involves looking at the issues, the ways you and you partner pursue and/or withdraw, what’s going on under the surface in your head and emotions, and what you are needing from your partner to bring about greater safety, understanding, and engagement. This can help bring about healing and connection.

In working with individuals I specialize in depth-oriented, attachment focused, and emotion-focused psychotherapy helping clients not only work on their current difficulties, but also exploring the development of their struggles in order to bring about long term healing and growth.

Some of the areas that I work with include:

Relationship difficulties

Trauma

Anxiety and panic

Grief and loss

Depression and dissatisfaction with current circumstances

Difficulty emotionally connecting with others

Men’s issues
