If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, or carrying past experiences that continue to impact you deeply, it can feel exhausting and isolating. At times, you may feel barely able to cope, while other times you may appear fine on the outside, with something underneath that feels heavy or hard to make sense of.
I offer a supportive space where you don’t have to hold everything on your own. The focus is on creating an environment where you feel genuinely heard and where safety is tangibly felt.

Life experiences can leave us feeling stressed, anxious, inadequate and even hopeless. At times we feel lost, as we struggle to navigate the pain and discomfort we are feeling and may be unsure of how to take steps forward. Counselling can be a place where we make space for the painful experiences of the past, our hopes for the future, and embracing all of who we are and hope to be. No matter what difficulty you are facing, there is hope in restoring what feels lost or broken and support for you as you process, heal, grow and find meaning.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood while learning practical tools to build confidence, manage anxiety, and navigate daily life with greater ease.

You may feel deeply and value meaningful connections, yet find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns. You might overthink interactions, question your worth, or feel anxious in relationships even when you care deeply about others. Many people I work with are thoughtful, emotionally aware individuals who want to better understand themselves and the patterns shaping how they connect with others and themselves. They may have insight into their struggles but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their sense of self.

Coming to counselling takes courage to look deep into ourselves. You are looking to make changes, and perhaps some of those changes are within yourself, and some are with your situation. Let's start with a conversation. It is likely that not many people know or understand why or how your coping mechanisms arose, and often these strategies get in our way. Before we realize it, we're back doing the same thing we've always done and swore we would stop doing a thousand times ago.

Are you avoiding things because of anxiety or OCD? Maybe you're feeling unhappy, frustrated, or lost in your life direction? Anxiety is your body's response to a perceived threat. The feeling is unpleasant, so naturally we try to avoid anxious thoughts or feelings. Sometimes the anxious mind plans ahead and tries to control uncontrollable situations.
I have lived experience with anxiety, so I can somewhat relate to the struggles. I will help you understand the core of why things make you anxious, so you can take the power away from anxiety. I will introduce effective coping skills and help build your self confidence.

As my mentors have helped me in my life, and as they have guided me through difficult points of self-growth and reflection, I have come to learn the value of being there for others to progress through our own difficult times. We need each other. I do believe it is far less problematic to overcome challenges with guidance and direction. Even more so when that guidance is refined through education, experience, and a standardized expectation of practice. I am capable of direct billing for ICBC and CVAP and can be accepted through other insurance agencies (i.e. Sunlife, BlueCross, GreenShield)

Everyone’s brain works differently, shaping how we experience emotions, manage daily demands, and navigate relationships, school, and work. For individuals with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or challenges with executive functioning and emotional regulation, everyday life can feel overwhelming, inconsistent, or exhausting at times despite clear capability and insight. These experiences often coexist with burnout, self-criticism, school or work-related stress, procrastination, and difficulties with motivation or daily functioning. Over time, this can interfere with personal goals, self-confidence, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
