I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, “in good standing” with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (Member #11875). I earned my Bachelor of Education, Grades Kindergarten – Grade 12 from the University of British Columbia, and I have been fully certified and credentialed as a teacher in the Province of British Columbia for over twenty years. In addition to my private practice work with “The Change Agency,” I currently work as a public elementary school Counsellor.

In the area of professional development, I have mentored and been a Practicum Site Supervisor for “Counsellors-in-training” from both the University of British Columbia and City University. In addition, I have been a Practicum Site Supervisor for “Teachers-in-Training” from Simon Fraser University. I am currently part of a public school district Critical Incident Response Team, and I am a member of a team responsible for writing Counsellor protocols and procedures.

I am Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 and Level 2 Trained.

“In Canada maybe the following comment about a Counsellor is not common, but I have to say it: we just love Tanya deeply. She opened a safe and comfortable space for me and for my family where we could be honest and where we did not feel judged.

After every single session, our feelings of general well-being, the clarity and the positive way to confront life obstacles were the highlights of our sessions with her.

Thanks to the new skills or strongest skills that we developed with her, we could not only move forward from the situations that generated our visit, but also allow us to overcome new difficulties, making us feel stronger and more capable to do it. 

I trusted my children with my eyes closed when I needed counselling for them and I wish everyone could not only have the opportunity to treat some specific difficult situation with her help, but also that she could be part of a preventive mental health support system.

Her professionalism, kindness and cleverness are the things that we love the most about Tanya. I am thankful for everything she has done for me and my children, for knowing us so well and for knowing that we count with her support in the future.”

“Tanya has been providing support for my daughter since she was about 3 years old. I needed to help her deal with an emotional loss in the family, and wanted to ensure she had a consistent, calm person in her life she could share her feelings with if she wasn’t able to share them with me. Tanya has become a much loved friend to my daughter, and someone she is eager and happy to talk and play with at all of their sessions. I am immensely reassured that she has a solid baseline of how my daughter is processing her feelings, and will be able to discuss any changes she sees should new challenges emerge. Tanya provides a fun, loving and positive environment that is perfect for children. They discuss feelings through games, pictures, stories and many age-appropriate methods. I am so grateful for the piece of mind Tanya has brought to me now, and will do into the future.”

“Tanya is a warm and caring counsellor. I found our discussions to be most beneficial in helping me articulate and understand my feelings, behaviour and difficulties, both during and following our sessions. To me, because our sessions are limited in time, the “following  our sessions” was the most important aspect of our talks. I always took away a lot of “food for thought.” She helped give me the confidence to believe and trust in myself.” She always tried to make herself available whenever I needed to see her. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone needing a counsellor for any issue, big or small.”

“My journey with Tanya began after I had back surgery about six years ago. With life-changing surgery comes changes in one’s life. I had been having difficulty in dealing with changes in some of my close relationships. At the suggestion of a friend – I finally went to see Tanya. I remember distinctly that I had an amazing “Ah-ha” moment in our very first session! Tanya’’s calm demeanour, super listening and skills and empathy make for a warm and safe environment to discuss one’s issues. Many thanks for your continuing help in providing strategies and viewpoints in dealing with everyday life!” 

“Tanya helped my husband and I deal with and heal from a very difficult situation in our marriage. She also helped us consider the ramifications of some of our behaviours on our child, and provided useful support and strategies for how to do better. Her calm, caring and knowledgeable approach to relationships truly helped pull us through. We are doing well as a family unit now, and we are very grateful for the opportunities to work with Tanya.”
