Chronic Illness Therapists in Kelowna, BC
Valerie Dessaulles
Registered Clinical Counsellor
I work mainly using emotionally focused individual therapy helping you to understand how your coping mechanisms throughout life make sense for what you've been through, but maybe aren't helping you now. We work together to create a safe space for you to work through any traumatic memories you may have, or any blocks and challenges you want to work through.
