About Dena

Counselling is a journey of exploration, and finding a counsellor you connect with is an important first step. I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight into your relationships, and deepen your understanding of yourself. I provide online counselling throughout British Columbia and in-person sessions in Williams Lake, supporting adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or impacted by difficult life experiences.

I specialize in trauma, cumulative stress, anxiety, depression, and anger, using EMDR alongside a relational and compassionate approach. My goal is to help you build resilience, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself, whether you are processing past experiences or navigating present-day challenges. My practice is informed by human psychology, relational connection, and lived experience, and I strive to create a calm, supportive space where healing can happen at your own pace.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and an EMDR Certified Therapist. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling in Education from the University of Northern British Columbia, with additional training in Person-Centred, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive, and Emotionally Focused therapies. If you are ready to be supported and truly heard, I welcome you to reach out through my website at denamarie.ca to begin your journey toward greater ease and fulfillment.
