_ Empowering Women & Teen Girls to Discover Strength & Authentic Self-Acceptance Through Individual, Couples & Family Therapy
Do you feel life has more to offer but cannot seem to find your way out of the same old painful ruts?
Are you longing to feel vibrantly alive while connecting with your creative purpose, yet feel it slipping out of your hands each time it comes closer?
Do you desire wildly deep, meaningfully authentic & playfully magical connections in the relationships in your life?
If
you are facing critical thoughts, self-doubt, intense fears, deep
sadness, chronic illness, the effects of trauma or the need to be perfect I can help you to find your voice, heal & thrive.
Courageously Heal & Powerfully Thrive
I support women and teen
girls, and their loved ones, who are affected by anxiety, depression,
eating disorders, insecurities, low self-esteem, chronic illness and trauma to mindfully make meaning, courageously heal and powerfully thrive. I
can guide you to make intentional, ground-breaking, lasting changes in your life and
relationships, so that you can begin to live the life you desire.
Reconnect to Your Wonder-full Unique Self
As women creating a life that reflects our values, potential and
dreams can be challenging. Painful life experiences, limitations and
genetic factors can cause us to lose connection with ourselves and in
our significant relationships, leaving us feeling hurt, lost and alone. There
are added pressures on us to do it all; work full time, care for
children, take care of the house, all while having a perfect figure. It
can be difficult to talk about how these unrealistic pressures impact us, even with
our closest friends. We become isolated and believe there is something
wrong with us. We loose sight of our amazingly wonder-full unique selves. Losing trust to make the decisions that fuel and inspire us.
Teen girls and young women face intense pressures to look and act
certain ways from their peer groups, parents and the media which often leaves them feeling unworthy and not good enough. They begin their quest for perfection, disconnecting from their truly unique inspirational selves.
With little support in place we become
vulnerable to the isolation of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, chronic illness, unhealed trauma and
eating disorders. Bit by bit we lose our voice, forgetting the tremendous gifts we have to offer the world. We know we need to regain meaning in our lives, but cannot find that next step. It can be difficult to find the courage to ask for help, but the very act
of reaching out is a vital first step to opening the door to change.
__ Free Yourself From the Grips of Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Chronic Illness, Low Self Esteem & Trauma
The voyage to wellness and recovery is a unique process and each person's path is different as they begin to uncover the wilderness of their inner wisdom, finding peace and truly trusting themselves. When we are affected by anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self esteem, chronic illness or trauma, bit by bit we lose our connection to ourselves and to the world around us. It can be devastating to go on with so much pain and suffering, wondering if it will ever end.
Life can be rich with love, care and meaningful connections. As an experienced Marriage & Family Therapist I can support you to create the bountiful life you envision for yourself. The life you have always believed you are meant to have but did not have the map to get there. Whether you are seeking individual, couples or family therapy the journey of growth can be exciting as you uncover alternative possibilities. As a wise, experienced and compassionate therapist I can help connect you to your own intuitive strength and grounded wisdom as you walk along the healing path. Guided by a holistic lens, an exploration of how the mind, body and spirit relate to each other offers support, reconnection and powerful healing of the whole person. This process instills confidence, awakens insight and nurtures growth to support you to feel whole again. Together we will awaken discovery, heal heart-fully and release murky blocks so that you can joyfully embrace your life with clarity and be lovingly present and authentically awake in your life.

Woman, 50’s, Langley, BC
"Being trapped in abuse at the hands of another person for most of my adult life I thought my life would end that way. Sometimes I wished it would, the sooner the better. Surviving is one step forward. Healing through learning to appreciate myself was the next big challenge. Thanks to Tanya’s ability to guide me through the intricate and challenging journey to self-discovery I have a renewed joy every day. Tanya helped me to find my long lost inner connection to key parts of myself with her intuitive use of therapeutic technique. I am grateful everyday for the results of my work with Tanya. I am blessed with true self-esteem, self- acceptance, inner strength and I love my life."
With Heartfelt Gratitude and Joy.
