Therapists in Port Moody, BC
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of 'shoulds' and comparison? Struggling with low self-esteem and body image concerns, constantly measuring your worth against unrealistic standards? In our fast-paced world, it's all too easy to lose sight of our own needs, always putting ourselves last. But you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. You deserve a safe space to explore your struggles without judgment, to untangle the knots of your mind and heart, and to emerge stronger and more resilient. I strive to foster a genuine connection with each person I work with, creating a supportive environment for exploration.

Now accepting new clients! As a therapist who has lived experience with C-PTSD myself, I often work with clients who are looking for support in unlearning some of the protective patterns that they developed in childhood that are no longer helpful to them in their adult lives. I can offer a level of understanding beyond being trauma-informed, as my personal history combined with my education in trauma can support you in gaining a deeper understanding of how your reactions make sense on a biological level and how we can tap into the mind-body connection to create new, healthier patterns so that the old ones may eventually fall away.

I am passionate about helping people who have experienced traumas of various kinds. I have extensive experience in working with survivors of violence and sexual assaults. Furthermore, having experienced immigration myself, I personally understand the challenges of this process and it has led to me feeling passionate about helping immigrants. I take pride in helping adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, immigration-related challenges, identity issues, and self-worth.

Trauma to me is any distressing event that impacts our emotional responses or ability to feel fully engage in our lives. Even if there are shared life experiences, each one of us has a unique emotional experience and understanding of the event. Therefore what we identify as traumatic for one may not be for another. As a child I yearned to understand other's experiences influenced the way in which they navigate their world in the face of trauma. It seemed that in many people's experiences there is a difficulty in being emotionally honest without a feeling overwhelmed or frozen, especially so when there has been trauma(s) suffered.

Modern life offers unique challenges to our children, our relationships, and where we are often last to focus, ourselves. If you are currently overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, neurodiversity, grief, addictive behaviors, anger, or by something you feel guilt or shame about, you are not alone. We all find ourselves struggling at times, even questioning the daily reality and meaning of our lives as men, women, and non-binary people. Shining some light on these topics can be so very helpful. I provide a warm, judgement-free, safe and private space for you to share, to explore yourself, to reflect, and to heal.
