Canada Life | Great-West Life Therapists in Burnaby, BC
Therapy can be life-changing—but it can also feel intimidating. Esther understands this well. Coming from a background where counseling wasn’t always accepted, her own search for support felt overwhelming and uncertain. Now, as a therapist, she helps others navigate that same journey—especially those asking, “How do I find someone who truly gets me?”
Esther takes a person-centered, trauma-informed approach and integrates tools from:
Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, AEDP (Level 2), Gottman Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2), EFFT, Somatic work, and, Motivational Interviewing.

Truly, one of my favourite parts of this work is the privilege of supporting other humans — the vulnerability, the messiness, the authenticity, and the deep, meaningful conversations that come with it. My practice is trauma-informed and rooted in narrative therapy, where we explore the stories of your life with compassion and curiosity, while also considering the social and cultural factors that may have influenced where you are today.

Hello and welcome! If you reading my personal statement you have taken that first step to reach out for help or support. For some of you this first step might have been easy, for many others starting the search took some time. And choosing a counsellor by having a brief conversation is next. I start the counseling process exactly where you are. Using a style that is collaborative and gentle, but can switch to using humour and challenge if that works better for you.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel caught, like we don't understand why we feel the way we do or behave in certain ways. Our past experiences can create patterns and habits that might be impacting us in negative ways. Our past doesn't have to define our future. We can learn to slow down and expand our capacity to heal and grow. I work from a trauma-informed, and relational approach. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment where you can safely explore your emotions, take risks, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

You may be someone who has spent years trying to understand yourself, your relationships, and your emotions, yet still feels caught in patterns you cannot simply think your way out of. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or reacting in ways that don’t feel like the “real” you. Therapy can help you explore the deeper roots of these patterns, including how past experiences continue to shape your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we can work toward greater awareness, regulation, and meaningful change.
