Therapists in Langley, BC

I specialize in supporting vulnerable youth and adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, shame, self-acceptance, addiction, trauma, abuse, and intrusive thoughts. I believe that people are innately resilient and have access to everything they need to move towards healing and that my role is to help you access and leverage this innate wisdom and ability located within.

I have worked with many clients at different stages of their lifecycle. It is my passion to help youth and young adults deal with the problems they face. I am versatile dealing with different issues including anger management, substance misuse, depression, anxiety, and grief. When clients come to therapy, I am adept at finding out their needs quickly and creating a treatment plan the includes elements of compassion, skill-building, and harm reduction. My experience includes living and working in multicultural settings which makes me well trained in diversity and cultural competencies.

I offer video conferencing, phone, counselling services to individuals, couples, and families throughout British Columbia. I offer in-person sessions based out of Langley and throughout the Lower Mainland. I have chosen to provide online counselling for many reasons, including convenience, affordability, service accessibility for those who live in remote areas, service accessibility for people with physical limitations, and other challenges attending in-person sessions. I offer online counselling with a flexible schedule, and in-person sessions during office hours Mon-Fri 9:00am-5:00pm.

Welcome! Are you looking for guidance in your journey? Sometimes speaking with someone can help us all achieve some direction, purpose, deeper understanding or simply some grounding. If you're searching for someone that can guide you to a deeper self-discovery, growth or confidence in going against the stereotypical story - you've found me. I am a polyamory/ethical non-monogamy affirming, sex-positive, anti-oppressive counsellor. I am available for individual counselling and safe for queer and trans communities, and my passion is relationship counselling.

Have you felt as though you have no one to talk to and feel alone when facing some of life's many challenges? Unsure or afraid of the judgement of reaching out for support? Emotions such as hopelessness, sadness, worry and frustration can consume us in moments of uncertainty. Being aware of these thoughts and emotions takes strength and courage to acknowledge. It may not feel like it, but that is the first step in starting your journey in healing. Collaboratively, we will explore who you are as a person and uncover your strengths to support you in overcoming the challenges you may be facing.

When you notice there is something getting in the way of living their best life, remember that the “obstacle is the way”. This means that the way to the life you want is through this difficulty, which can become an entryway into more of what you want. I am here to help you move through obstacles until they become the way towards your best life. My goal as a therapist is to help people live a more balanced and connected life. I’m in my element as I create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental counselling environment, where people can explore the complexities of their lives. I work from a holistic perspective.

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.

Do you feel stuck not knowing how to improve your relationship? Do you feel like you're constantly having the same fight and it never feels resolved? Whether you are looking for a relationship tune-up, or you’re feeling hopeless about your relationship after a betrayal, I am here to help. Research has repeatedly shown that the relationship you have with your counsellor predicts the success you experience in counselling. This is why I prioritize creating a non-judgmental, empathic environment where both partners feel heard. Instead of taking sides between the two of you, I take the side of the relationship.

Are you feeling lost, sad, or unhappy? Maybe I can help. I have a strong interest in working with adults who are experiencing relationship breakdown of all sorts, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, divorce/separation, difficult childhoods, and dysfunctional families of origin. I also welcome the opportunity to work with individuals who are struggling with mental health concerns and other life challenges, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and autoimmune disorders.

I believe some of the most beautiful work takes place in a therapeutic setting. My goal is to provide you with a safe space, help you feel heard, cared for, understood, and be there for you through your journey in discovering new and different ways in leading a more authentic and meaningful life. I believe we all go through struggles and obstacles in life. Sometimes, what we are trying isn’t necessarily working anymore and we may need new and different perspectives and ways of tackling such issues and concerns. When given the right space, I believe you can heal from your trauma and succeed in leading a life that you want to live.

Our life stories are unique and layered. Even so, common threads can be found within our narratives: threads of pain, stuckness, and disconnection, but also ones of resilience, courage, and beauty.

I am a South Asian woman of colour, who has experience working through a culturally inclusive lens. Through my lived experience and growing up in a multicultural society, it has given me a unique ability to see cultures from a different viewpoint; both the importance of beliefs & values that come from our cultures, whilst also recognizing the internal conflicts they can cause us as individuals. I believe as mental health providers it is important to meet the diverse needs of individuals within the community.

Life comes with a lot of painful obstacles that sometimes make one doubt their capacity to push through. Are you struggling through a difficult time and are starting to feel hopeless about life? Are your family and friends worried about you? Does it feel like you have no control over your life and have no idea on what to do?

My interests are in working with individuals or families from diverse backgrounds, dealing with a large range of issues, including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, identity formation, sexuality, acute and developmental trauma, vicarious trauma, and PTSD. I also have experience working in First Nations communities and have a heart for working with Indigenous peoples.

My deepest privilege is to come alongside you, listen as you share your story, and begin to help understand what happened to you. Past experiences shape some of how you view and process life experiences today. Your past informs your present. I can help you explore those experiences, how they have affected you in the past and now in your current relationships, behaviour or thought patterns, and even how you perceive yourself, your kids, or your partner. Exploring some of these things together may open the door to curiosity, self-compassion, and also bring meaning and healing to your life. You will begin to notice you feel more "you".

Oftentimes we feel ‘stuck’ as though no movement forward is possible, or that our story is too complex to navigate and find healing from. Through my own experience, and in journeying alongside others, I have come to believe that freedom and life, even in the midst of significant pain and loss is possible. My clinical approach is unique, as I seek to incorporate the spiritual journey of the client, as understood through a Christian worldview, into the therapeutic process. I work using a parallel process of deepening your understanding of Self, and of God as you begin to reflect on your story.

We all deserve to live life that is fulfilling and meaningful to us. Our life experiences shape how we think and feel. When dealing with challenges we can feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or feel a loss of purpose or spiritual connection. We may feel we are in a crisis, feeling hopeless and alone. Counselling can help clients who wish to gain insight into their lives, relationships or jobs, who wish to make a change, or process past trauma. I have 5 years experience as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I also have 20 years of experience in IT Services, Consulting & Management in the areas of Leadership and IT Organizational Design.

I whole-heartedly trust that every individual has the innate ability to heal when met with genuine support in a safe, empathetic, and collaborative environment. Through a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach my hope is to walk alongside you on your wellness journey. My ambition is to foster a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and authenticity to help support you in achieving your unique therapeutic goals. My approach is holistic, person centered, and strengths based. I draw on evidence-based techniques from emotion-focussed, mindfulness, and play therapies.
