Beck Psychotherapy & Counselling
My own journey has been about striving to consistently improve myself in a sustainable way. For me, healing is an ongoing process that enhances who I am. processing out what I no longer want to carry around with me and living my values the best that I can. After 20 years in the helping profession world, venturing into my own private practice felt natural. I offer sessions to individuals either in person at my office in Cranbrook, BC or through video counselling for those residing in the Province of British Columbia.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desenitization Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I draw mind/body/somatic approaches and neuroscience informed treatment modalitites.
What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?
Distressing problems and painful memories can produce strong, painful physical and emotional responses for all of us. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a psychotherapy approach grounded in research that uses eye movements to help clients restructure these concerns and make voluntary changes in their mind, This ART process minimizes the negative intensity that these physical and emotional responses can elicit. The ART therapist guides the client through the process and can help them improve an ongoing problem and become unstuck from prior painful experiences. The client is in complete control during the process and can make positive changes of their choice. ART can be used to help treat anxiety, stress, past traumatic experiences and obsessive compulsive disorder.
