Therapists in Hastings-Sunrise, Vancouver, BC

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor, with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association. I bring 14 years + of experience in the field of mental health. Through the lens of compassion & unconditional positive regard I support individuals to uncover old coping strategies, reveal core beliefs, release trauma/ suppressed emotions that hold one back from stepping into truth, finding joy, fulfillment and clarity. Also creating a deep connection to self, allowing for a deeper connection in all relationships. Our intimate relationships are where we have the opportunity to be witnessed, accepted, loved, & love in return.

My work is collaborative and relational, meaning we work together to actualize the change you wish to create. I believe belonging and connection matter, and that oppression and systemic injustice are often at the root of our struggles. Everyone deserves access to the kind of support that helps foster resiliency and worth. I bring practical, real world knowledge, alongside theoretical frameworks that are rooted in feminist, anti oppressive, and social justice principles.

Seeking support is sign of courageousness and strength. When we face challenging times, difficult emotions can leave us feeling alone and overwhelmed. Ideally, such times are opportunities to deepen our understanding of ourselves and of the lessons that have been presented to us. This path is a process of expressing our feelings, exploring our inner lives, and discovering our true and authentic natures. I believe that our well-being is rooted within us, although finding it can be complex therefore making growth difficult to experience.

Do you evaluate yourself constantly, miss out on what you want because of mood or anxiety, and treat yourself worse than you would a stranger? A life beyond disruptive mood, anxiety, and self-worth issues may be closer than you think. Take a breath, notice your feet, and imagine what it would be like to be totally at home in your own body, knowing exactly how to respond to difficult emotions when they arise. Imagine feeling okay just as you are and showing up for yourself like a trusted friend who will always have your back.

I am interested in working with you to develop healthier coping strategies using mindfulness based approaches to prevent depressive relapse; to manage anxiety, stress and chronic pain, improve sleep, and to prevent burnout. I work collaboratively with you to focus on your goals for change to improve functioning in the meaningful occupations and activities of your life. By learning how to be more mindful during ordinary activities, you can also enjoy your chosen activities more, and live with more ease.

Seeking help can be scary, and requires vulnerability and courage. Congratulations on taking the first steps towards healing and growth! I am a Registered Psychologist through the College of Psychologists of BC and I provide online individual counselling for adults. I specialize in PTSD and trauma treatment, and also work with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem. I consider a strong, collaborative relationship to be the most important catalyst of positive change and therapeutic success. I aim to help you cultivate your inner strengths and resources, and move towards the life you want.

My aim as a therapist is to create a safe environment where you feel heard, seen and supported in your experience, whatever it might be. From this secure and non-judgmental base it becomes possible to access the innate stores of courage and vulnerability necessary to grow and gain new insights. My clients are high functioning in their public-facing lives but report feeling stuck or unhappy in their private lives. I work with people experiencing the resurfacing of old traumas, loss, major life transitions, and difficulties in their primary relationships.

Providing a felt sense of ease and presence, attuned listening and a container for deep work are my offerings to you. The symptoms we experience (like anxiety and depression) are often due to unresolved traumatic stress in the body. By slowly and gently tracking sensation, movement impulses and images we learn to listen to what our body is telling us, and we return to who we truly are. We begin by exploring what is and is not working in your daily life and relationships, and what you are noticing in your body, thoughts, and feelings.

Anxiety & unhappiness are healed with a foundation of self-acceptance & unconditional love. Helping people to experience this transformation is my passion! Do you hold yourself back feeling afraid to be yourself, sabotaging your dreams? Do you ever feel unworthy, shame, not good enough, or that you are a bad person? They're NOT intrinsically the essence of who you are, just beliefs & behaviours that were most likely learned during childhood to cope with NOT getting your emotional needs met & from past unresolved trauma. ALL limiting beliefs & behaviours CAN be realigned with your true divine self.. I'm excited to co-create with you!
