Do feelings of anxiety or depression seem to control your life? Do past events haunt you?

My Practice

I use a holistic wellness and trauma-informed approach in my practice to treat anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship conflicts. My goal is to help you to heal and live life fully. During our time together, I will use a mix of EMDR, cognitive-behavioural and dialectical techniques, ACT, and somatic interventions to help you challenge unhelpful habits, heal from harmful experiences and achieve wellness.

My Qualifications and Philosophy

I have 8 years of experience in the mental health field in roles like Therapist, Mental Health Worker, and Career Educator, and specialize in working with people aged 16 to 40. Through my work and personal life, I have witnessed the pervasiveness of trauma which inspires me to lead a trauma-informed practice, and to create a holistic, “you” centered space in which you are empowered to improve your wellness and achieve your goals.

Why I Do What I do

I believe that connection is one of the most important facets of the human experience. Helping you to have a healthy, fulfilling connection with yourself, others and your environment is what inspires me to do the work that I do.

Who am I?

I am a third generation immigrant and settler from eastern Europe who identifies as an heterosexual, cisgender woman.

I strive to be an ally for the LGBTQ2+ in my practice and in the community by supporting welcoming spaces. I equally strive to be an ally for the indigenous communities of Canada by engaging with the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action.

Let’s chat about how we can work together to get you where you want to be!

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.

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.
