Meet Trish
I am experienced working with families and couples who have experienced relationship issues, unhealthy family dynamics, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have completed Level 1 and 2 of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, where the goals are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
Navigating life can be challenging if we don’t understand what’s working and what isn’t. I am here to help you get to the root of the issue so you can change direction in your life to be healthy and content. I believe that collaboration and trust are essential to our working relationship – you are the expert on your life, and I am here to help you facilitate change, progress, and awareness into the issues you are facing.
​
Being seen and understood forms the cornerstone of any thriving relationship. At times, the lines of communication may become tangled and challenging to untangle. I provide a safe environment where you can openly address complex matters.
I am born and raised in Nanaimo. When I’m not busy with work, you’ll likely find me enjoying the great outdoors. I love camping and exploring the natural beauty of our region. Gardening is another passion of mine, where I find peace and fulfillment in nurturing plants and watching them grow. At home, I share my life with the two wonderful dogs who keep me active and entertained. I’m committed to making a positive impact in my community and cherish every opportunity to connect with my neighbors, friends, and fellow residents.
