Welcome! My name is Marcus. I provide online counselling sessions where I work with teens and adults through a variety of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, identity loss, personal and spiritual growth and more. I have a special interest in working with individuals experiencing symptoms related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

I have extensive experience with trauma and I am trained at the advanced level in trauma-based therapy Somatic Experiencing. I spent my last several years working with Indigenous populations and continue ongoing training in culture and best practices to best support Indigenous peoples as well as other cultural groups. I also spent the last 8 years learning, training and facilitating traditional Nordic and Celtic healing practices in the context of healing trauma. I am happy to incorporate spirituality or culture for those individuals who find it supportive to their healing journey.

Having played elite sports at university, national and professional levels, I gained an immense passion for working with high performers such as athletes, professionals, or entrepreneurs who are looking to develop the skills necessary to thrive in all of their environments.

I want you to arrive at a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. I set the intention that we will have fun, learn, and grow together because every counselling experience is unique and special, just like you are. I believe that you have the power to create your own reality and I would be honoured to support you on this journey of discovery.

I work from a trauma informed, holistic perspective that looks at the entire human being (not just the symptoms) including the interactions of the mind, body, and external environment which create your overall health. I utilize evidence-based approaches of Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Internal Family Systems (parts work) to support transforming your goals and aspirations into realities.

I offer online counseling and walk and talk therapy services in Kelowna, BC. I am a strengths-based, person-centered and trauma-informed counsellor who provides support to youth, young adults, and individuals who are seeking emotional support in dealing with various life challenges.

In my role as counsellor for over a decade, in private practice, as well as at a non-profit agency for several years, I have gained experience working with individuals from all walks of life: from the street entrenched homeless population to the upper-class margins of society.

I have heard stories of all kinds and have held space for both the horrific and heroic aspects of peoples’ experiences. With this generalist approach I work across a wide variety of issues with specialized training in the areas of anxiety, depression, complex trauma/ptsd, substance use, self-esteem, vulnerability, shame, self-compassion, personal/spiritual growth, and grief and loss.

I believe in the healing power of storytelling and the resiliency of the human spirit. I believe in the strength, courage, and natural gifting in each one of us, and I’ve seen the fruit that comes, when walking alongside individuals who are ready and willing to grow.

My great joy in my work is to see clients overcome whatever hardships they face, to once again live purposeful, joy-filled lives, while still honoring their past.

I work from an integrative perspective and rely on a variety of clinical techniques, including Internal Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Expressive Play Therapy, compassion and mindfulness practices, and EMDR.

I am also a Certified Daring Way Facilitator™ and thrive on incorporating Brené Brown’s work on courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy into the work I do with people. I believe the principles found in Brené’s Daring Greatly™ and Rising Strong™ curriculum can literally change the world: recognizing the commonalities in shared struggles and connecting individuals to themselves and to one another.

Hello! Welcome to my bio, it’s nice to have you here. I am currently accepting new clients. I have been fortunate to work within the mental health field for over 10 years, supporting those who want to heal and helping people navigate some of life’s toughest moments. I have helped people to show up for themselves and the people they love authentically, become free of unhelpful mindsets and behaviours, and live their lives to their fullest. I love working with adults and adolescents, people living with anxiety, depression or BPD, eating difficulties and body image issues, addiction recovery and neurodiversity. I assess holistically, through a bio-psychosocial and trauma informed lens. This helps to account for the full picture of an individual’s mental health and its relationship to their support network and society. My approach is influenced by CBT, attachment theory, IFS, polyvagal theory and their relationship to culture. I also use Solution-Focused Therapy, ACT and DBT. I look forward to connecting with you!

Tanya was born and raised on the West Coast (Sechelt, BC) and has been counseling in private practice in Kelowna since 2012.

After completing the SE training, Tanya continued in the post-grad somatic trainings with Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell (Touch Training for Trauma Therapists and Somatic Resilience and Regulation: Early Trauma).

Currently, Tanya is completing a 4-year Feldenkrais Teacher Training.

Her favorite management strategies include music, movement and humour.

Trauma has often been misunderstood by doctors and therapists alike, overlooked or dismissed as a key factor in our overall health. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a highly specialized therapy that effectively treats trauma, supporting healing where the rupture has occurred - in the nervous system.

Dr. Peter Levine developed Somatic Experiencing (SE) - grounded in biology, neuroscience and psychology, with over 45 years of successful clinical application. Using SE, we will track your body’s sensations to gently release survival energy held in the nervous system, renegotiating trauma and restoring the body, mind and emotions to wholeness and well-being.

SE supports your capacity to feel confident and capable, and your sense of belonging and connection. It can also improve sleep, digestion and concentration, and decrease anxiety, depression, outbursts, muscle tension, nightmares and flashbacks.
