Stephanie is a registered Canadian Certified Counsellor and we can direct bill to Medavie Blue Cross, Greenshield, Manulife and her fees are covered under Sunlife and other insurance providers. As a dance movement therapist, my passion is to use movement and dance as a means to facilitate healing and personal growth with individuals and groups. I believe that the body holds the key to unlocking our deepest emotions and experiences and that movement can provide a safe and expressive outlet for exploring and processing these feelings.

With a Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy from Pratt Institute and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Vancouver Island University, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in the field of dance movement therapy and psychology. I have worked with diverse populations, including individuals with mental health challenges, developmental disabilities, and physical disabilities, and have expertise in various therapeutic approaches, including Laban Movement Analysis, Authentic Movement, and Body-Mind Centering.

My clinical experience includes providing dance movement therapy services in inpatient psychiatric units, long-term care facilities, and community-based organizations. I have also collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to develop comprehensive treatment plans and provide individualized care for each patient.

As a member of the American Dance Therapy Association, I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest research and practices in the field of dance movement therapy. I am excited to continue to grow as a dance movement therapist and to support individuals in achieving their therapeutic goals through movement and dance.

Andrew is a Psychotherapist Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) Master of Arts in Counselling Registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA)

If you’ve been feeling anxious, depressed, alone, angry, or overwhelmed, it may be affecting you in your personal or professional life. Perhaps it feels like something is just off, or just you aren’t feeling as good as you’d like. Problems like these can be difficult to pin-point. Can you relate to any of these: feeling low, loss of interest, lack of energy, less self-confidence, a sense of guilt, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, trouble sleeping, or changes in appetite? Perhaps it would just be nice to get to the bottom of things so you can feel less disconnected, less alone, or less on edge.

What you can expect in working with me:

My clients see growth or change happen at different paces. I believe it is important to keep an end-goal in mind with milestones along the way, however progression is different for everyone. The journey of healing or change may begin here and continue on once certain groundwork is in place. I facilitate the process, support you, and keep us on track along the way.

My qualifications:

In addition to my Masters degree, I have received training in Emotionally-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and The Gottman Method Couples Therapy (L1). Most recently, I completed the NeuroChange Professional Certification Program which draws on emerging therapies such as Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) and Attachment-based therapy as well as experiential therapies such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

The types of issues I work with:

I work with clients who are interested in seeing change in their lives and/or are feeling low, a loss of interest, a lack of energy, less self-confidence, a sense of guilt, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, trouble sleeping, or changes in their appetite. I also work with clients who are experiencing a sense of loss, grief, strong anger, depression, anxiety, and/or relationship challenges.

Why I became a counsellor:

Personally, my journey has been neither easy nor straightforward. Although these circumstances felt like set-backs, they caused me to ask many of life’s tough questions. They ultimately led me to begin my own journey with therapy and are a significant factor in why I became a counsellor. The challenges I’ve experienced have led me to cultivate greater self-awareness, find stability, and form deeper compassion for others in need. One of the reasons I became a counsellor is to bring to others the same understanding, validation, and expertise that helped me navigate difficult life circumstances, to cultivate a greater degree of awareness of my emotional world, and see many positive changes as a result.

How you can get started:

Maybe you’d like to begin working on some things, but aren’t sure where to start. I welcome you to book a session where I can begin to get to know you and what you’re needing help with or wanting to work on. Everyone needs a safe place to share, to process, and to seek healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, going for walks, calisthenics, reading, meeting friends for coffee, and watching movies (usually a drama!).

I work from a client-centered, attachment-based approach that focusses on the individual and their relationships with others, their environment, and themselves. I work from a number of different therapeutic approaches including mindfulness-based practices, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, solution focused approaches, self-compassion, and play-based interventions. I have experience in facilitating psycho-educational and therapeutic groups for children, youth, and caregivers to serve clients as part of a collective that offers a different approach than that of individual counselling.

Every person deserves to be heard, respected, and feel connection that they can carry into their everyday lives and larger community. I work to create an environment that is warm and safe for each individual to foster their growth and progress.
