About Kim
If you are visiting this page, chances are that you - or someone you love - are carrying a great deal of pain. You may be struggling with sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, gambling, or another addictive pattern. You may be facing the consequences of infidelity or dishonesty, or trying to make sense of betrayal trauma and the devastating loss of trust in an important relationship.
These experiences can leave you feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, anxious, disconnected, or uncertain about what to do next. You do not have to navigate them alone. My role is to meet you with compassion and without judgment, while helping you develop greater safety, stability, clarity, and hope.
I work with individuals and couples who have been impacted by addiction, infidelity, and betrayal. Therapy may involve understanding the patterns that have contributed to the current crisis, developing healthier ways of coping, strengthening honesty and accountability, processing trauma, establishing boundaries, and determining what healing and recovery may look like for you.
My credentials include certification through IITAP as a Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), Clinical Betrayal Trauma Professional (CCBRT), and Multiple Addiction Therapist with a focus on financial betrayal. I am also an APSATS CCPS-Candidate. This specialized training supports my work with individuals who are struggling with addictive or compulsive behaviors, partners healing from betrayal trauma, and couples exploring whether and how trust can be repaired.
My practice also supports adults whose present-day struggles are connected to difficult childhood experiences, dysfunctional family relationships, shame, anxiety, painful relationship patterns, or coping strategies that may once have been protective but are no longer serving them. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, healthier relationships, and meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw on IFS parts work, attachment theory, and trauma-informed care to help you understand your emotions and patterns with greater compassion. Together, we will identify what matters most to you and work toward practical changes that support your well-being.
You are welcome to seek support on your own, whether or not your partner is participating in counselling. You do not need to decide the future of your relationship before beginning.
Your extended health benefits may cover counselling sessions. Please check with your benefits provider to confirm whether sessions with me are eligible for reimbursement. I am also an approved mental health provider with the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC), and the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP).
I offer virtual counselling, with afternoon and evening appointments. A free 15-minute introductory consultation will give you a chance to ask questions, discuss what you are looking for, and see whether working together feels like a good fit. To get started, I warmly invite you to book an appointment with me through my online portal that can be found at my website.
