Female Therapists in Downtown, Vancouver, BC

Trauma impacts how we see the world, navigate through our experiences, and connect with others. Even though you are not the product of a single experience or relationship, one experience can feel so overwhelming that it overtakes over all others. Together, you can start to dream about what life will look like if this problem or memory wasn't an obstacle anymore. What would be different? And what strengths and resources do you already carry with you to start that process.

You are an entrepreneur, artist and truth seeker. You identify as a relational anarchist and a creative spirit that is determind to design your life and the structure of your relationships. You seek your own answers as to what it means to be living a meaningful life. You are motivated by the fear of leaving the earth not having lived your life to your fullest, completely governed by unconscious drives, and not having examined your suffering. Most importantly, you can no longer bear not speaking your truth and living your most authentic expressions of self. Finding your soul's purpose is one of your driving principles in life.

Whether you desire to quickly resolve a current issue or obstacle, or hope to identify and overcome some deeper, longer-standing issues that are preventing a full and satisfying life, together we can help you get there with YOU as expert of your own life!

As a counsellor, I intend to bring compassion, openness, curiosity, genuineness and cultural sensitivity to create a warm, safe and non-judgmental space for the clients to heal and change.

I currently run all the Healing Anger women ´s anger management groups online. My clients are ready to explore and learn how to better deal with difficult emotions and situations. Whether their tendency is to rage often or to secretly feel resentment, or if dealing with someone acting this way, they all want to benefit from exploring their relationship with anger and other difficult emotions. My clients want to learn about intimate relationships, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution. My clients want to take ownership of their life, feel proud of their respectful choices, and at peace, rather than ashamed of how they responded.

I work specifically with women (teens and adults). My one-on-one approach offers deep emotional support and a safe space to explore your challenges and hopes. Many of my clients are successful and vibrant externally (professionals, students, mothers) but they face some deeper internal challenges. Perhaps it is hard to understand why this issue persists despite your ability to manage so well in other areas of your life. I will support you to live the life you envisioned for yourself, free from unnecessary emotional difficulties.
