Therapists in Vancouver, BC

I like working with clients who are ready to change, even if they are not sure exactly what they want to change yet. I enjoy helping people define what a "good," or "better" life would look like for them, and exploring - and, conquering - blocks to achieving this. Sometimes, this involves going backwards, and exploring past patterns. Other times, it is about moving forward. We define this, together. I welcome all to work with me. As a mixed race (Jamaican/German), bipoc, queer, and non-binary therapist, I love serving members of my community. I also enjoy helping people overcome blocks to creativity and business.

With 25 years as a counsellor, I am positive that change is possible. Many of us simply need support and guidance to truly understand ourselves. During our time together, my passion, attention and focus will be dedicated to your wellness, and finding what works best to help you reach your full potential.

Exploration with another person can help us to re-author our relationship to problems and begin to move towards our preferred ways of being in the world.

Being in the nexus of something means you are right in the middle of it hence, easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of things coming at you.

Sessions are collaborative - focused on your concerns and challenges - where we identify and work towards your goals.

Accepting New Clients / Available for supervision (not practicum students). People today are making their mental health a priority.

If you’re a woman experiencing anxiety and/or depression who often engages in negative self-talk, my open and compassionate way of working with body and mind may be right for you. Your gloom/dread may come from traumatic experiences, and/or it may arise from good experiences that did not happen. The empathy that wasn't demonstrated, a safety that wasn't provided, grief that wasn't attended; developmental experience influences your ability to show up as the person you want to be. Missing out on good experiences, or bearing traumatic experience, can affect your sense of security, it does not, however, stop you from earning security.

I offer a safe space for you to gently let go of everything you’ve been holding on to and help you find tools & strategies tailored to help you move forward with renewed hope.

Having ancestry from the Mi’kmaq people of Newfoundland and the English people of Bath, I use the teachings of the medicine wheel as a foundation for my personal and professional life.

This can open the door for creating deeper connections with our bodies, with those around us and in our communities. My mission is to guide people in honouring their stories and reclaiming their connections in order to live more whole and meaningful lives.
