Healing Starts Here
Experienced Counsellor: Eating Disorders & Women's Issues
A Beautiful Thing
You are tired of struggling with an disordered eating, food noise and over exercising. You don't want an unhealthy relationship with yourself, your body or another anymore. You want less anxiety, better emotional control, a way to resolve the past and be able to manage and enjoy the present; envision a more desirable future.
It's a beautiful thing when we say, "no more," to the unhealthy cycles, to being stuck, overly anxious, controlled by food, or being unkind to ourselves. When we say, "no more," something new is birthed, something new can begin.
You are here looking for counselling because you are looking for something that serves you better. You are looking for that beautiful you that exists beneath the pain, the confusion, the overwhelm, and the way these have hurt your relationship with yourself and others and stopped you from living.
There is no one more passionate about your life than you. You weren't meant to navigate by yourself. You are made for community.
Counselling gives you a place to slow down, pause, find guidance that assists you in laying the past to rest and finding a more fulfilling life, one that is more truthful to you, one that allows you to discover life skill, and your yes and no, that are gateways to living.
I invite you to book a short complementary conversation or a first session. Please click the link below. I look forward to meeting.
Meet Karen
Hi, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. With a masters degree in Counselling Psychology, I have over twenty-five years of counselling experience in a private practice setting. I specialize in working with women's issues and eating disorders. I participate in on-going counselling education and meet with other therapists.
I am no different than you, I have faced my own life issues and found healing, so my counselling work is not just textbook, but has real life understanding. There are few things I enjoy more than talking with a person about their life. So much can go into the making of a life. Some of these things can undo us in ways. But these things can also be turned around to make our lives into something more desirable and meaningful.
I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going on hikes, kayaking, grabbing a coffee/tea and going to a walk and enjoying local music, art and food venues in my area.
It a privilege to hear people's stories and help them walk through their struggle, into a better place. Reach out to begin.
