Crime Victim (CVAP / VQRP / IVAC) Therapists in North Vancouver, BC
Does the pressure to live up to 'good vibes only' leave you wondering if there's something wrong with you? We live in a world where disconnection abounds and vulnerability is shamed. Life hands us pain and expects us to put on a smiling face. Therapy with me is an attempt to provide an alternative: a space of understanding, safety and non-judgement. I believe that humans make change while in relationships that support empowerment, therefore I place high value on our working relationship. Working with me will allow you to have a space where you're nurtured, challenged, and seen.

Do you feel like you are too much and not enough all at the same time? Do you hear the phrase ‘just love your body’ and you know deeply that there is more to that statement? Our society holds many messages about being acceptable and conforming while we just want to trust what’s right for us. Add into that all the ways we are taught to push down, set aside and outright ignore our feelings of grief. My practice is here for people seeking to develop a more trusting and compassionate relationship with themselves.

We all experience discomfort in our life. It can be physical, mental or emotional but it is all connected. Feeling down, stuck, angry, hurt or sad is a part of being human but it doesn't mean we cannot do something about it. Injuries are a normal part of life. Some are caused by us and some are caused by others, some are physical and some are emotional, some heal quickly while others seem to never go away but there are things we can do to help or hurt the healing process. Using a variety of techniques, we can work together to develop a recovery plan that works for you.

There is no one-size-fits-all method as our work together will be uniquely tailored to you: your history, relationships, patterns, and experiences of the world.

If you’ve been looking through multiple profiles, this a gentle reminder that taking one small step forward can be more meaningful than not reaching out at all. I work with adults impacted by relational and event-based trauma, including intimate partner violence (IPV), emotional abuse, difficult relationships, and motor vehicle accidents. Many of my clients come in experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, feeling “stuck,” difficulty trusting or feeling disconnected from who they used to be. I support clients in processing trauma’s impact across mind and body while building insight, regulation, resilience, and growth.

Trauma does not always present as a single event or clear memory. It can appear as anxiety, grief, dissociation, relationship patterns, shutdown, or a life that looks functional while still feeling difficult to live inside. I primarily work with adults whose symptoms often point to something deeper than what is immediately visible. My role is to help clients process what has been carried emotionally, psychologically, and relationally so relief and meaningful change become possible.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, down or anxious? We all, at some stage in our lives, may face difficult situations and life challenges. It may be related to our relationships, conflicts with family members, loss of a loved one, adaptation, or illness. Facing these challenges may lead us to lose hope and focus on daily life tasks and routines. These feelings may lead us to think, nothing will ever change or get better, or there is no bright tomorrow in our future. What’s important is the way we view things and with whom we can share our most personal thoughts, feelings, and fears. I'm here to support you in a non-judgmental way.

Change begins within. You may not know exactly where you’re going yet, but you can feel that something needs to change. Sometimes you can understand exactly why you feel the way you do and still find yourself caught in the same patterns. You may be living with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences. I work with adults and couples who want more than short-term coping tools—to understand what is happening beneath the surface, feel more connected to themselves and others, and create meaningful, lasting change.
