In the constant battle to match societal norms you may find yourself sticking out like a sore thumb. You might find that no matter how well you adapt to your environment you have an inner desire to just be yourself and to stop caring what other people think. But the pressures to perform, be productive and be useful overpower that voice within, limiting its expression. I help guide you to find ways to express and live a life that is aligned for you through inner child and shadow work by working with your body, mind and soul.

Feeling lost, overwhelmed, or untethered from the ground you once walked on? If you're used to being the one who people come to for guidance or support, it can be unsettling when you are now the one who needs care. The past few years have been so hard on caring people, even the most generous person can eventually feel emptied out. I'm here to help reconnect you with the things in your life that nourish your soul and replenish your spirit. Together we can look at ways to preserve your peace and wellbeing, with body awareness, learning to set gentle boundaries with loved ones, and by cultivating an inner compass that you can rely on.

Do you ever feel like something is holding you back in life? Maybe you feel a sense of disconnection with yourself or aspects of your life? Or that part of you isn't able to move forward from a past experience? Oftentimes we may have an idea of where we want to go and how to get there, but we struggle with being able to take action. This could be for a variety of reasons, and our work together could help explore the underlying thoughts, beliefs, and/or emotions that might contribute to feeling stuck or disconnected.

Returning clients may be accepted on the waitlist, however, for the time being I do not have the capacity to add new clients to my waitlist. I wish you the best in your search for the right counsellor for you. Difficult life experiences that happened years ago may still be impacting your choices, actions, relationships, beliefs and feelings today. You may feel stuck in the past or in your fears around the future. You may feel skeptical, but change is possible.

Perhaps you’re here because you are experiencing a sense of anxiety in your body or a mind that won't quiet down. You might be achieving a lot but feeling exhausted or triggered easily and don’t quite understand how to move forward in a way that feels better for you. In other cases, our inner work seems lifelong, as we are holding years of tangled relationships, complex family dynamics and fighting to create space for ourselves. You are no longer alone with it all. I feel honored to walk by your side to enhance the sense of safety as we slowly dive into the tangles together and intentionally access your inner sense of power.

I specialize in helping people who feel emotionally or mentally disconnected from themselves and/or their lives. When we feel different facets of identity at conflict with one another or feel fragmented from our outside world, bodies, community, and/or goals, it can be difficult to find inner resources and nurture unmet needs. I specialize in perceived fragmentations like these which can manifest in many ways, ranging from general feelings of aimlessness, uncertainty, or purposelessness, to the following experiences: depersonalization/derealization, depression, anxiety, substance use challenges, and grief.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Vancouver?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Vancouver specialize in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist.
