iA Financial | Industrial Alliance Therapists in Port Moody, BC
In our sessions, we look at the stories that have shaped your life — the beliefs, roles, and patterns that may no longer support you. Together, we explore how societal and relational systems have influenced your experiences, helping you cultivate clarity, compassion, and choice.
Healing isn’t only intellectual, so I also bring in practices that connect your mind and body. By noticing physical sensations, nervous system responses, and embodied awareness, we can uncover insights that go beyond words. This integration supports resilience, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of understanding of yourself.

It’s common to get used to holding a lot on your own—especially when you’re used to being the one others rely on. Eventually, that can start to feel overwhelming or hard to untangle. In our work together, I focus on creating a space where you don’t have to carry it alone, and where we can sort through what’s been coming up in a way that feels real and manageable.

If anxiety about how you're seen in the world has started running the show, or your relationship with your body feels like something you're surviving instead of living in, you're in the right place.
Much of my work lives at the intersection of body image, anxiety, and self-worth. I'm trained in dismantling weight bias and supporting people navigating appearance-based shame — the particular exhaustion of existing in a body that the world won't stop having opinions about. This work is somatic, creative, and grounded in the understanding that how you feel about yourself didn't start with you.

Many of my clients grew up with emotionally immature, critical, inconsistent, or unpredictable caregivers. They learned to be capable, self-reliant, and highly attuned to others, but now struggle with self-trust, boundaries, people-pleasing, anxiety, or feeling fully connected to themselves. You may be the “black sheep” in your family, the one who noticed unhealthy dynamics or chose a different path. You want to feel more grounded, clear, steady, and authentic in your relationships and daily life.

Together, we explore and shift the emotions, beliefs, and relational patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode, creating space for greater self-trust, emotional regulation, resilience, authentic connection, and a life that feels more grounded and aligned.

My purpose and my passion is to help you fully remember who and what you truly are! The beautiful, perfect soul you are, prior to all the programming and conditioning that's had you believing that you're just "not good enough". This "not good enough" nonsense, is nothing more than an indoctrinated/brainwashed belief. It is at the root cause of all pain and trauma. It underlies all of humanity's suffering. It is indeed, the real pandemic on this planet. It has infected entirely all of us. It is the greatest, most ridiculous most asinine lie that has ever been sold to humanity! My job and my joy is to help you heal from this insanity.
