Virtual Practice North Vancouver, BC V7M

My website

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck or overwhelmed, unsure of how to move forward. Past trauma, societal pressures, and systemic imbalances can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and trapped in unhelpful patterns. The trauma we carry is not just personal, but a product of the systems we live in. As a result, it can be hard to see beyond the distress, or even know where to begin to heal. By exploring how trauma and systems shape your life, we’ll work together to address both the emotional and systemic roots of your distress.

In our work together, you can expect to find not only relief but empowerment. By building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel safe and understood, we’ll create a foundation for lasting change. You’ll reconnect with your authentic self, heal trauma at its roots, and start to reclaim your power in ways that feel aligned with your values.

You've already taken the first step, if you think I might be the right fit for you lets connect and take the next step together.

My approach integrates EMDR, IFS, and feminist therapy. First, we will explore what brought you to therapy and focus on building a safe relationship. Once this has been established, we will move forward into trauma processing with EMDR. Clients can expect to see reduced trauma related symptoms allowing them to regain their sense of self and safety.
