Rhonda has worked in the human services sector for 14 years as a counsellor and mental health therapist and specializes in mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, stress, eating disorders, trauma, sexual abuse, child and adolescent concerns, self-harm, addiction, women’s issues, etc. Rhonda provides a nurturing, encouraging, and empowering environment to assist clients with personal growth and provides guidance toward the development of a healthy, accepted sense of self. Rhonda works from a humanistic, client-centered, eclectic approach to therapy to best suit the needs of the client. Rhonda’s eclectic approach encompasses elements of the following therapeutic techniques which all have an underlying emphasis on health and wellness:

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialetical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
• Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)
• Narrative Therapy (NT)

Rhonda’s core belief is that we are inherently good and whole and that it is the residue of life’s experiences and the thoughts and messages that we internalize that interfere with our full expression and potential. Thus we often find ourselves stuck in patterns which play out according to old programming of our mind. Rhonda helps clients to deconstruct these old patterns and develop new ones more aligned with their true nature. Rhonda looks forward to serving Langley and the surrounding communities.
