About Dena

Racing thoughts at 2 a.m. A tight chest before the workday starts. Feeling worn down, on edge, or stuck in the same relationship patterns, even though you’re doing everything “right.” If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering online counselling to adults throughout British Columbia. I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, understand your relationships, and reconnect with yourself, at your own pace.

What I help with: anxiety, chronic stress and burnout, depression, anger, relationship struggles, attachment wounds, and trauma, including cumulative stress and the impact of difficult early experiences.

How I work: I combine Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) with a relational, emotionally focused approach. EMDR helps your nervous system process experiences that still feel present, so you can build resilience, restore balance, and feel more like yourself. Whether you’re working through the past or navigating what’s happening now, we’ll go in a way that feels manageable.

Credentials: RCC with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Master’s in Counselling in Education (UNBC). Additional training in Person-Centred, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive, and Emotionally Focused therapies.
