Depression Therapists in Downtown, Vancouver, BC

For anyone looking for support with navigating a challenge or who feels a longing to realize more of life's potential, I believe that counselling can be tremendously helpful. I also believe this is true for a variety of challenges and goals, whether it’s navigating a mental health challenge like anxiety, depression or ADHD, or just wanting to live at your highest level. Through counselling I believe we enter a space where we can honestly explore our various thoughts and feelings, generate insights and evolve our wisdom and perspective.

I am dedicated to helping you address your concerns and issues and focus on what’s important to you. We do this on your terms and at your pace. Through an effective, non-judgemental, therapeutic relationship, I help you examine the different areas of your life and help you make practical and meaningful changes. Whether you are dealing with depression , anxiety, trauma, substance use issues or other concerns, I'll work with you to make the changes you want to see. I am also experienced in providing specialized support to the LGBTQ+ community as well as gender affirming care.

While recovery is challenging, one of my greatest passions as a counsellor is helping clients develop tools and gain insight so that they no longer lean on disordered eating behaviours.

Having worked as a therapist at multiple eating disorder treatment programs (including treating ARFID), I apply this expertise into my work. I also incorporate body liberation and Health at Every Size in working with clients.

We all, at some stage of our lives, may face difficult situations and life challenges. It may be related to our relationships, loss of a loved one, adaptation, education, employment, conflicts with family members, illness, or questioning our gender. Facing these challenges may make us lose hope and our focus on daily life tasks. These feelings may lead us to think, nothing will ever get better or change, or there is no bright tomorrow in our future. What’s important is the way we view things and with whom we can share our most personal thoughts, feelings, and fears. I'm here to support you in a non-judgemental way.

Do you feel like life is an uphill battle? Are you exhausted? Depleted? Like you just can’t get a break? Are you stuck overthinking and re-living the past? Or constantly worrying about and over planning for the future? Are you stuck in destructive ways of coping? Or unable to break unhealthy relationship patterns?

Are you feeling scared, tense, or anxious? Does your anxiety increase whenever you are reminded about a terrifying event from the past? Or does your anxiety "come out of the blue" sometimes? Do you feel "emotionally numb," "empty," or "detached" from your environment? Are you avoiding people, places, or things that remind you of a terrifying event? I understand that such feelings, as well as the tendency to isolate, can make it seem as if you have no control over your body and your life. Sometimes, the feelings of loss of control may be so intense that you think you are "going crazy," and may even become angry with loved ones.
