Change. Do you have the feeling that something has to change… but you’re not quite sure what it is? Or you have a good idea what and where you want to be… but don’t know what changes to make to get there? Are obsessions and compulsions ruling your life? Or are you struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Are your relationships – intimate, family, work – suffering? And are you ready to take that first step towards change? You've come to the right place.

Counselling is a collaborative process of exploring the difficulties (stress, emotions, experiences) that the client brings forward in session. Counsellors promote change by helping the client to focus on the feelings, thoughts, behaviours, and experiences that are maintaining barriers to attaining goals. Counsellors are there to “do with” not “do for.” The client is the one that leads the way, while the counsellor acts as a guide or support. My goal is to help you find your voice and your path to being your favorite version of you!

Do you find yourself constantly questioning whether you're doing enough, being enough, or meeting expectations?

Many of the people I work with carry stories of migration, loss, and starting over. As an Arab woman who moved to Canada during my younger adult years, I understand what it means to rebuild life in a new place while holding on to language, culture, and dignity. I work especially well with clients who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally burdened, and who need a space where their experiences are understood without explanation.

You deserve a soft landing where you can express the unexpressed and explore the things that make you human. My intention is to assist you with accessing your deeper truth and authentic self - helping you find your way back home to you. My approach is to care for the soul with loving compassion and create a safe and supportive environment where you can improve your relationship with self and others. I use a trauma-informed approach and work with folks holistically on varying issues (anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, trauma, grief, burnout) to bring healing, understanding, and hope.

If you're finding life challenging, or would like to use art as a tool for self-care, we can work together to identify self-help skills that feel authentic and empowering for you.

Heavy emotions, self-critical thoughts, feeling "not enough," and people-pleasing patterns can keep us stuck in the same loop until we start working with them in a different way. I work best at helping clients pinpoint what keeps the loop going, and helping preferred, chosen pathways become the new baseline. I support people who are: going though anxiety or depression, healing through trauma and harmful intergenerational patterns, reclaiming self-confidence, or re-creating their sense of identity. If you want to explore how we can work together, I invite you to reach out.

If you are feeling stuck in your past, old ways of coping, or are replaying painful memories I want you to know that there is hope for your future. I work with many people, who, like you, each have unique stories, and have done their best to push forward and to leave their hurts behind. You may be surrounded by people, and yet feel a longing in your life for deeper connection and relationships. You might even feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and others. Perhaps you have tried to cope with the distress by turning to substances, food, self-harm, shopping, work, or other ways of feeling in control.

You handle a lot, and lately you feel tense, flat, irritable, or stuck without a clear reason. The worrying doesn't let up. You snap or go quiet with the people you care about, then feel almost nothing the rest of the time. You've tried pushing through it, and that stopped working a while ago.
Many of the people I work with are men holding a lot together quietly: professionals, fathers, founders, operators. We work directly on the anxiety, anger, low motivation, and emotional shutdown, and on the patterns underneath them. ADHD, relationship strain, and burnout often sit in the same picture.

My name is Veronica and I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia. I hold a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP). In the past, I have worked directly with individuals experiencing a range of diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and sexuality-based issues. Most commonly, I witnessed many of those individuals feeling pain and suffering alone. Intimacy and sexuality can be difficult to discuss and can impact your mental health and well-being.

Folks come to me frustrated and defeated about patterns they or their loved ones repeat over and over. I’m here to work with you to disrupt those patterns, and see what amazing things are possible! I am passionate about making relationships work again.
Sometimes it feels like we can’t get past deep wounds in partnership, or in life. I can help you find creative solutions, and encourage deep listening between partners so you can all feel that closeness and connection you've been missing.
I work in a way that is kink- and poly-competent, and love supporting diverse gender identities and relationship structures/orientations.

I'm not here to instruct you on how to live your life or to criticize the way you already do. I'm here to give you a safe space to express yourself and let go of the burden of having to carry it all alone. You are likely here at this time in your life because you are sick of telling yourself stories that don't suit your best interests or the best version of yourself. Reconnecting with the part of you that knows you deserve to be happy is my aim in helping you. In our work together I will help you get in touch with your own knowing and tap into your strengths.

You may already be quite self-aware yet still find yourself stuck in old patterns. You might overthink, feel anxious beneath the surface, or notice the same dynamics playing out over and over in your relationships. Even if you understand why you do what you do, you've probably discovered that awareness alone doesn’t necessarily lead to change.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, and I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, relationship glitches, and a deeper sense of inner conflict or disconnection. These problems often develop over time and can be difficult to shift until they are explored more deeply.
