As a therapist, I support children, youth, and adults in navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, low self-esteem, and life’s challenges. My approach is person-centred, strength-based, and collaborative — helping you build skills, confidence, and connection.

I also offer Direct Neurofeedback Therapy (DNT), a safe, evidence-based treatment that helps the brain reset and relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, brain injury, and addiction.

My work draws from CBT, DBT, Polyvagal Theory, and Internal Family Systems. With children, I incorporate Synergetic Play and Nature-Based Therapy.

Outside of sessions, you’ll find me outdoors skiing, biking, hiking, or paddling — nature is central to both my life and my work.

Accepting New and Returning Clients

If you’re a teen (12yrs+), adult, or caregiver feeling stuck in old patterns, struggling in relationships, or carrying the weight of burnout and emotional fatigue, you’re not alone. Life’s pressures—and our histories—can quietly shape how we connect, cope, and care for others, and most importantly, ourselves.

My work is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with an attachment-based approach. Together, we explore how experiences and relational patterns continue to influence your present—so you can begin to understand your emotions more deeply, strengthen connection, and create change that feels lasting and real.

I support youth (12+), adults, and parents/caregivers navigating relationship challenges, stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue. In our work, we bring light to what’s been carried for too long and build new ways of seeing yourself, your needs, and your relationships.

I absolutety cannot wait to meet you! The Pleasure is all mine ~

Kelly will be on a personal leave as of November 27, 2025. She is accepting new clients and will continue to see existing clients as of February 5th, 2026

As a counsellor working with children (10+), youth, and adults, I am committed to guiding people on this journey called life. Whether you seek specific support for anxiety, depression, grief & loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem and perfectionism, or you simply need a place to explore and reflect, I am here to walk alongside you, offering a safe and empowering space where you feel seen and supported.

After working in education for almost 15 years as a teacher, school counsellor, vice-principal, and case manager, I am now doing the work that brings me the most fulfillment and joy. My work as a therapist is grounded in the belief that everything is interconnected, and we are all capable of healing, growing, and changing. With compassion, curiosity and sometimes a little bit of humour, help people examine the parts of themselves and their life that feel challenging.

My counselling approach is neuro-affirmative, holistic, person-centred, and collaborative, which means as much as together we explore what works best for you. I am inspired by therapeutic approaches that help clients explore the stories and beliefs they have about themselves (narrative therapy), tend to the parts of themselves that need care and attention (IFS), and that balance acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with commitment to values and change (ACT and DBT). In my work, I incorporate drawing, writing, and mindfulness in addition to talking as ways to process experiences and emotions. I offer walk & talk sessions for those who love to be outside in nature. I have a special interest in working with children, youth, and (young) adults navigating the emotional impact of climate change and the challenges of our time.

In addition to offering my counselling services at Treehouse, I work short stints as a sea kayak guide in the coastal waters of Vancouver Island in the summer and as a polar guide in Antarctica in the winter. In these roles, I get a chance to help folks (re)connect to the natural world and to educate about and advocate for the protection and preservation of vulnerable and unique ecosystems.

Accepting New & Returning Clients for Direct Neurofeedback

A Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) and RASP approved provider who supports neurodivergent children, youth and their caregivers. Her support at Treehouse includes Direct Neurofeedback training as part of a holistic and trauma-informed approach to wellbeing.

By supporting the nervous system’s natural ability to self-regulate, DNF can enhance focus, create a sense of calm, and build capacity for behaviour change.

Laurel integrates direct neurofeedback with behavioural coaching to create individualized, values-based care. Her work is grounded in compassion, safety, and collaboration—helping children, youth, and caregivers feel regulated, more connected, and build sustainable skills for wellness.

Specialization in Child Therapy, offering Synergetic Play Therapy.

I’m passionate about supporting children (4+), youth and families as they navigate life’s challenges and build on their unique strengths. My approach is creative, playful, and collaborative — focused on trust, connection, and understanding.
