Does this sound familiar?
You’re successful, thoughtful, and strong, and yet, you often feel disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by anxiety, or uncertain in your relationships. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma that still echoes in your daily life, or you're exploring your sexuality or intimacy but feel stuck, ashamed, or unsure where to turn. You’ve tried to “figure it out” on your own, through self-help books, yoga, journaling, or simply pushing forward, but deep down, you’re still carrying the weight of unprocessed pain. You’re ready to feel differently. You want to feel safe in your body again. You want to feel connected.

Hello, I am a Licensed Psychologist with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia and I work individually with adults from across the province via secure video. It is very important to me to have a practice that is respectful and inclusive of the many ways that we as humans are different - ethnicity, culture, gender, physical ability, sexual orientation, age, size, immigration status, etc. I work hard to offer a safe space to work on the issues that bring you to therapy and I take responsibility for any mistakes I make.

Welcome to my practice. I believe that every person has the capacity for change. Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life's circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.

There is always space for growth and self-improvement. Reaching out is not always easy, and opening your heart during difficult times can feel overwhelming. You may be going through something you cannot share with anyone. Depression can pull you into dark places, and you may need support, guidance, and tools to understand what is happening. Life transitions can be challenging, and you may be longing for your life and relationships to move into a better place.

Do you often feel overwhelmed, stuck in recurring relational patterns, or like you are carrying more emotional responsibility in your relationships than you would like?

I work at the crossroads of culture, mental health, and social-economic integration. My counselling is for people who want to belong while staying true to themselves – especially racialized first and second-generation Canadians who may feel torn between worlds.
Our background is not a footnote in our lives; it shapes our strengths and struggles, and how and where we find home. With years of learning and teaching language, religion and culture, and lived experience across the Arab world, South and Southeast Asia, and Canada, I help clients identify tools as well as traps in their heritage and discover their authentic selves.

You look fine on the outside, but inside your nervous system is always on edge. Your mind races, your body stays tense, sleep is hard, and you’re constantly scanning for what could go wrong. You’re tired of managing anxiety and want real relief. You want to feel safe in your body, trust yourself again, and move through life without fear quietly running the show.

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.

Welcome, I'm Megan.
I support young adult men and women who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. You may be used to holding everything together for others while quietly struggling on your own, minimizing or suppressing your emotions, overthinking, or putting your own needs aside. Often, these patterns developed as ways of coping with difficult experiences or relationships. Sometimes, you simply know something doesn't feel okay, even if you can't explain why.

Most of us reach points in our lives where we feel stuck or lost. I believe counselling offers a unique and powerful opportunity to turn inward, to gain a clearer understanding of ourselves and our challenges, to gather wisdom for a new path forward.
I work with clients on a range of issues including: processing past trauma, problematic drug/alcohol use, emotion regulation (e.g. BPD) executive functioning related to attention (e.g. ADHD) and procrastination, as well as existential issues of life meaning, vocation and values, and processing transformations in identity.

I'm dedicated to helping clients move beyond overthinking and intellectualizing their experiences to reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies. While talking and insights are valuable, true transformation happens when we integrate both mind and body. My work supports those who struggle with fear of letting go, old stories, repeating negative patterns, difficulty trusting themselves, and a disconnect from their deeper instincts. Through breathwork, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation, I help clients tune into their body cues, release tension, and build confidence in alignment with their true selves.

한국어 설명은 위 "한국어" 를 클릭하세요. From birth to death, we constantly move between the spectrum of stability and fragility. No one’s always firm, and no one’s always vulnerable. No one’s entirely powerless or one hundred percent stoic in the face of challenging circumstances. Counselling cannot immediately alter the external factors of your situation, but it can encourage a better response from you. I wish, through counselling, you will find opportunities for growth and change.
