About Lacey

Healing takes time and asking for help is a courageous step. In such unprecedented times, there is a lot of pressure to rush and to put our problems in the past. I strongly believe that therapy is an opportunity for self-discovery, learning, finding your truth, and fully accepting yourself. There is no timeline on wellness, so it’s okay to slow down, take a breath, and fully embrace your journey. In therapy, we are not changing or getting rid of the past, rather processing those experiences and no longer letting it control our every day lives.

Since you may be sharing your story with me, I think it’s important that you get to know me a little bit. I was born and raised in Northern BC and I am of Swiss and Tahltan descent. I am a fur parent to 3 Italian Greyhounds and a Rescue. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, beading, reading, scoping out Netflix, and furthering my education.

I have a Diploma in Indigenous Studies, a Bachelor of Arts in Justice Studies, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) as well as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I am also an EMDR Approved Consultant and Certified Therapist who is an active member of EMDR Canada and EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).
