Do you yearn for change, desire to understand yourself better, and have an eagerness to break free from the patterns that tether you to repeating cycles? If you answered yes, but are also plagued by self-doubt, uncertainty, and worry; you're not alone. You may find yourself longing for deeper connections, grappling with the intricacies of relationship dynamics, and a complex emotional landscape that leaves you weary and questioning your direction. In all of this, you have difficulty setting boundaries, have no time for yourself, and feel disconnected from life. You may be healing from attachment wounds. This is where I come in.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re stuck in your head? Does it seem like stress or anxiety are preventing you from living your most meaningful life? What has wrestling with your own mind cost you? My work focuses on helping you get unstuck, to help you stop living a life trapped inside of your own brain, and to start living more fully.

Anxiety and depression are common issues in my practice and they can be the underlying condition in many situations. They can affect relationships, parenting, work performance, family dynamics to name a few. Therapy can assist with problem solving and gaining a better understanding of the behaviours that are causing difficulties in life. Some of my work involves life coaching and I am also a divorce coach. I offer expertise and support in the overwhelming process of separation and the difficulties involved in supporting children through divorce and separation.

I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. As the Clinical Team Lead and Registered Social Worker, I am firmly grounded in social work values of respecting the inherent dignity and worth of a person, promoting social justice and challenging oppressive systems with the goal to decolonize mental health. I passionately lead with a trauma-informed approach, honouring each person who invites me to walk alongside their journey of healing. Working with me, you can expect to experience my sense of humour, warmth, gentle-challenging, and honesty.

I have 20 years experience working with adolescents & adults (incl. couples) dealing with a variety of mood/anxiety problems, trauma, & relationship difficulties. I provide a structured space to help you explore and identify challenges, and experience different ways of being. Good therapy is not just talking about problems; it requires sorting through layers of emotion, understanding how you protect yourself from emotional pain; identifying & challenging negative thoughts/beliefs; and identifying personal strengths & resources.

I envision life as a journey that is influenced by our experiences, our relationships with others, and our personal, societal, and cultural stories. As a therapist, I believe my role is to join you on your journey for a stretch, as a kind of wilderness guide who may be able to point out unrecognized phenomena, different perspectives, and highlight your strengths and values as they relate to your journey. The goals and direction are yours, and together, we will create a plan that's right for you. Coming to counselling is hugely courageous; I commend you on beginning your search for a therapist who will be a good fit for your goals.

Hello, I'm Caroline - an RN and nurse psychotherapist. I deeply understand how life and the human experience can be messy, confusing and difficult to navigate alone. I understand how one can lose track of themselves when things like grief, trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, and addiction limit feeling connected to self, others and the world around them. I also know that sometimes people need guides to help illuminate the path in order to know where to take their next step. If you relate to these words, know that I'm here to walk with you as you bravely step into healing, creating a life you love, and personal growth.

I launched Nested Heart Counselling in 2013 in response to a call from the local polyamorous community saying how challenging it was to find mental health support that didn’t require further education about unconventional identities. I have collected a group of counsellors with similar values, experience and training as myself across BC. Roxanna, Katree, Chelsey Jessamyn, Kenzie and Cora all have availability right now for new individual clients. We often have a practicum student who has reduced cost counselling sessions available in Victoria, Port Moody, Powell River and online. You can explore their extensive bios on our website.

Does living in this world just seem too heavy sometimes? Do you want to connect with your deepest self? My focus is on healing the trauma of both our experiences in and our fractured relationship with the world we inhabit. Are you a frontline activist, first responder, or are you suffering from climate grief and anxiety/depression from living in uncertain times? I am here to act as a guide to help you find your highest self's purpose. I have lived experience in the 2SLGBTQ+ community and a background in youth support work, and have a trauma-informed, body-positive, intersectional practice.
