Vernon Okanagan Counselling Mental Health Therapist

C.J. Kelowna, BC.

Not just a counsellor … an advocate … my life had hit rock bottom – lost my children, home and job. With Tina’s help I now have my children back, a home and I am retraining for a new career. I am now driving my car – not just sleeping in it!

B.C. & T.S. Salmon Arm, BC.

As mental health professionals, we were very particular about finding the right counsellor. We had such a positive experience, we have recommended Tina to our colleagues and friends.

C.B. Lumby, BC.

Tina literally saved my life. I was overwhelmed and suicidal. She helped my family and me overcome some major problems and rebuild our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

K.R. Vernon, BC

My husband was very reluctant to go for counselling. With her easy going approach and humour, he soon relaxed and actually enjoyed the sessions. We now have the marriage we always wanted.
