Who am I?
MY PASSIONS
Hi, I'm Kat, a Register Canadian Counsellor in Abbotsford, BC, specializing in relational conflict, trauma recovery, and anxiety. I help adults explore overwhelming emotions as they navigate these situations, so they can feel more grounded and empowered.
I see each person as having the innate capacity for growth and change, and that authentic, genuine connection in the counselling room can support this process. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending as much time as I can exploring the outdoors, new restaurants, or hopping on a plane to somewhere new. I am often spending time with friends and family, usually while going for a walk or biking.

MY APPROACH
Counselling
I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and I am in the middle of completing a 2-year program in Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy (SAP).
As a relational and trauma-informed counsellor in Abbotsford, I meet the individual where they are at with empathy and curiosity. I see emotions, the nervous system, and the environment as being intricately connected and having an incredible impact on how we navigate stress and conflict.
For over ten years, I have seen how connection and empathy in relationships are central to the healing process. I see everyone as the expert of their own life, and this can be difficult to see when experiencing anxiety or not feeling sure of the next step to take. My role is to create a safe enough space where individuals can feel accepted and supported as they gain clarity of their strengths, their relationship with themselves, and their relationships with others.
