Equitable Life of Canada Therapists in North Vancouver, BC
You might feel like your mind is always running — juggling too many thoughts, losing focus, or getting stuck in the same unhelpful habits. In that case, you've likely noticed a pattern of zoning out, avoiding uncomfortable topics or feelings, and overreacting. Things like food, substances, or online interactions take the edge off but end up contributing to issues more than helping. I have a long history of helping individuals, couples and parents, especially men with ADHD, anxiety, anger, depression, and addiction. Together, we’ll build a plan to improve focus and communication, and develop tools for calmer, more intentional living.

Therapy can be an opportunity to bring awareness to your unconscious patterns, to discover where you have choice and to connect to your authentic self. Therapy is one way you turn towards yourself, this can be challenging when we’ve spent a life time turning away. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path.

I offer a neuroaffirming, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is grounded in therapies that are respectful of neurodivergent experiences—you won't find approaches here that aim to suppress or "fix" neurodivergent traits or that have been shown to be harmful, distressing or traumatizing. Rather than focusing on changing your behaviours, I work to understand them. Together, we'll explore what your nervous system is communicating, identify your strengths, build supports that work for you, and look at how your environment may be contributing to the challenges you're experiencing.

I support clients who find themselves constantly worrying about how they’re being perceived, replaying conversations, wondering if they said the wrong thing, or feeling responsible for how others feel. In relationships, you may over-give, over-explain, or work hard to keep the peace, even when it leaves you drained or invisible. You might struggle with self-doubt, body image, or a sense that your worth depends on meeting others’ expectations. Deep down, you want relief from the anxiety, clearer boundaries, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

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.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck or overwhelmed, unsure of how to move forward. Past trauma, societal pressures, and systemic imbalances can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and trapped in unhelpful patterns. The trauma we carry is not just personal, but a product of the systems we live in. As a result, it can be hard to see beyond the distress, or even know where to begin to heal. By exploring how trauma and systems shape your life, we’ll work together to address both the emotional and systemic roots of your distress.

You're tired of carrying so much and pretending you're okay.

Many of my clients are successful, caring, and hardworking young people ages 20 to 40 who look like they're coping from the outside. Inside, they're overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and wondering why they can't seem to find relief.

If grief feels too heavy, anxiety is getting in the way of your day to day living, or negative experiences continue to shape how you move through life, you don't have to face this alone. Even considering reaching out speaks to your strength, desire, and readiness for something different. I understand how much courage it takes to consider change when you're feeling overwhelmed, tired, or unsure. I offer genuine and compassionate support where you can speak openly, be heard, understood, and begin to feel more like yourself again.

Accepting Clients for Summer. Clients come to me experiencing trouble in relationships, struggling to manage emotions, dissociation, and hyper-vigilance (stuck in fight or flight) due to complex trauma.

You may feel alone in the hardship that you face. I offer compassionate, down-to-earth sessions where you can share your experiences, gain insights, and learn somatic tools to help calm your nervous system. You don't have to do this alone anymore.
