Therapists in Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC
I am a Certified Expressive Arts Therapist, a professional member of the International/ Canadian Expressive Arts Therapy Associations. I facilitate healing by bringing together body-mind sensation, psychological life, imagination, and intuition using integrative, multimodal arts processes for personal and transformation. I believe that when people accept themselves just as they are, they can change; imagination, creativity and intuition will give them the capacity to reach down into the depths of the psyche, the spirit, the soul, and the body, transform and be resilient from his suffering.

I believe that we all experience discomfort in our life. It can be physical, mental or emotional but it is all connected. Feeling down, stuck, angry, hurt or sad is a part of being human but it doesn't meant we cannot do something about it. Injuries are a normal part of life. Some are caused by us and some are caused by others, some are physical and some are emotional, some heal quickly while others seem to never go away but there are things we can do to help or hurt the healing process. Using a variety of techniques, we can work together to develop a recovery plan that works for you.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I offer online counselling to individuals and couples facing issues such as anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. I often work with those who experience insecure attachment styles, such as anxious or avoidant attachment styles, and are wanting to feel more secure with themselves and others. I help those who want to reconnect with their inner feelings, wants, and needs and shift unhelpful patterns such as people-pleasing or codependent behaviours. I help people express themselves authentically and clearly in their relationships through healthy communication and boundaries.

I often hear from my clients that I help them to understand themselves better, and that they leave our sessions finally ‘getting’ their struggles in a different way. Most of my clients comment on how natural it feels to talk to me, and feel safe opening up in the non-judgmental and accepting space I create. Together, we will identify what has held you back from experiencing life and relationships the way you wish you could. We’ll set realistic and meaningful goals for our treatment, and look to remove the internal barriers that keep you stuck.

Do you feel STUCK? When we feel stuck we start to question our life’s purpose and often start to doubt past and future decisions. Feeling stuck can often lead to confusion, hopelessness, fear, paralysis and lack of motivation. These experiences can generally cause anxiety, panic, depression and generally a low quality of life. Although these feelings can be incredibly painful and may lead you to feel helpless, it’s important to remind yourself that with the right support, you can change your life.
