Welcome! I’m Tiffany, and I'm looking forward to meeting you. "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." — Audre Lorde Genuine personal growth requires us to use new tools, implement new ways of thinking, and step outside our comfort zones. After 25 years of counselling and teaching in BC, I stepped away to exclusively focus on my private practice . I work with individuals, couples, youth, and families who are ready to carefully pay more attention to their mental, emotional, and relational health and development. Therapy Designed for Complex Humans Human beings are beautifully complex, which is why my approach is multi-dimensional. Together, we will choose the tools that resonate with you: Traditional Foundations: Tailored integration of IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT, DBT, and narrative psychotherapy. Somatic Expression: Using body-centered awareness to release mind shackles and generational trauma. The Persona Closet: Accessing my office’s private clothing collection to explore body dysmorphia, identity, and personal reinvention through fashion and self reflection. Circus Modalities: Using circus gear and movement to build trust, assess risk, establish physical boundaries, and discover sides of yourself you never knew existed. Why Work With Me? My vast experience covers the full spectrum of the human experience: from relationships and parenting, to processing complex trauma, mental health conditions, sexual health, identity, stress, and grief. My trauma-informed background is paired with a deep personal investment in therapy that began when I was 18. I don’t just practice therapy; I believe in its power to transform painful life events into chapters of growth and badges of honour. Seeking help is a form of self-preservation and wisdom. Whatever it is that brought you to this site is waiting for your care and attention. I'm here to help facilitate your healing. When I am not working with clients, you can find me with my family and friends, enjoying nature with my dog, training in aerial arts, or choreographing community performances spanning circus, comedy, and draglesque.
