Hi! I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor & Clinical Director at Scott Sheere Wellness, providing counselling services online and in Vancouver’s Mt. Pleasant community. Using a range of therapeutic modalities I provide trauma-focused therapy for adults, with the bulk of my practice focusing on the experience of cis & trans women. I have specialized training in complex trauma, post-traumatic stress and dissociation. I am trained in the use of Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindful Self-Compassion, Motivational Interviewing and attachment-based somatic therapies.

Welcoming new clients for virtual appointments only! My areas of focus revolve around the relationship with self and others (friends, partners, families), life transitions, and grief and loss. We will work together to reconnect you with yourself and make sense of the world around you. My hope is to help you find understanding, acceptance and clarity so you can get unstuck and choose a way forward. My experience includes working with people struggling with anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, self-love, complex PTSD/trauma, family conflict, and personality disorders.

Life can be complicated no matter what your age is. Managing life transitions such as becoming a teenager or young adult, a parent, or change in any life routine can be difficult. You may be experiencing stress, anxiety, addiction, or relationship issues. Traumas and life stressors we experience can affect how we feel, think, and connect with others. I aim to help you connect with yourself and others in a way that makes you feel more content and confident in life.

I am a certified clinical counsellor working with individuals, couples, children and families. My practice encourages a holistic approach where I help clients to heal by providing tools for awareness and recognizing their entire human and life experience in an integrative approach to healing the mind. The therapeutic modalities used in session will depend on the client’s needs. However, I have a specialized focus on complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression, abuse, stress, emotional overwhelm and work/life balance. The work I do is a person centred approach, following the needs of the client to where they want to go.

Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment. I believe that is what we may need in our lives, and I am able to serve you in this area. For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

Reaching out for help with a problem can be very intimidating! It may help you to know that our work together will always be based upon YOUR values and goals and a shared understanding of the problem. I use cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based methods to help people who struggle with unpleasant feelings, problem behaviors, or under-functioning. I'm a huge fan of ACT Therapy, which helps you to notice and disentangle from unhelpful thoughts, notice and accept diffiuclt feelings, orient to the present moment and commit to actions that move you towards what you want in life - towards your values!

Are you looking for a safe, confidential and non-judgmental setting to find direction and hope for yourself or your family? Within my professional practice, my client feels heard, understood and empowered to find healing and balance in their lives. Clients can find a space to relax the 'busy mind' without feeling guilty. I work with Individuals, Couples and Family dealing with various mental health or relational issues.

In my counselling approach, my focus is establishing trusting relationships with my clients. I offer accessible and personalized counseling sessions for adults, children, youth, caregivers, and families, available both in person and online from the convenience of your home. I work at a pediatrics clinic and a non-profit agency, where my focus is on providing support for children, youth, and parents. Prior to embracing my role as a clinical counsellor, I served as an office manager at Ministry of Children and Development, an experience that inspired me to pursue a more active role in supporting clients.

Healing is one of the bravest choices we can make for ourselves. My experience in working with clients who have lived through trauma has afforded me a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection, and how we can struggle to live full and connected lives when we are out of sync with our needs and values. I hope to support clients in resolving challenges by building upon their strengths and tools. From my own lived history, I also take special interest in working with issues around acculturation, identity, and cultural and spiritual abuse.

Welcome! I am glad you found yourself here. I acknowledge that counselling is a courageous step. It is courageous to look within yourself and realize that there are some things not working for you. Many times we have experienced non-death loss, suffering, and pain hoping that it would have disappeared with time but the intense pain, hurt, and anger continues to remain.

I offer my sessions through an online platform. My main emphasis of work is based on looking at primary relationships and explore its influence on client's current well-being.

I lived in Lebanon & USA. I speak Arabic, French & English.

Accepting New Clients / Available for supervision (not practicum students). People today are making their mental health a priority. When someone reaches out for counselling, it's usually because of a problem they want to work through, something they hope to change, or an area of their life they desire to grow and develop. My passion is to support & walk alongside my clients at these times in their lives. Counselling is very much a collaborative process. I see my role as creating a therapeutic environment that feels comfortable & safe so clients can explore their lives more fully and come to a greater understanding of who they are.

I specialize in helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, relationships and life transitions, infertility and pregnancy loss, relationship or marriage struggles. We, humans are born as WHOLE beings, we are worthy of love, we crave attachment, safety and connection. Sometimes we experience life events that may make us feel: stressed, angry, lonely, hurt, or unworthy of love. Having experienced trauma, loss and grief in my personal life, I know what it feels like to feel stuck, helpless, and worst of all, hopeless.

Everyone has a story. Our lived stories/experiences can shape our lives in a multitude of ways. Have you ever been curious how some people just have it so easy/or so difficult? Encouraging curiosity and seeing through a lens of love and compassion for yourself is where it all begins. Living with an awareness of how we process, interact and show up in our day to day lives, starts to lead us to our purpose. Imagine yourself living your most authentic life. What an incredible gift you give yourself when you live from your truest expression. This process is about you; and how you can begin to live with loving compassion.
