Child Therapists in Vancouver, BC
In our sessions, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions, so we can create meaningful change together. While counselling can be challenging, I believe it should also include humour, hope, and comfort, making it a place where you can truly learn and grow. Many of my clients seek support during life transitions or when grappling with an inner critic and overwhelming emotions. I specialize in helping with anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, parenting and family dynamics, relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma, psychedelic integration, and career concerns.

I work alongside people from diverse and interconnected communities, including BIPOC & POC, 2SLGBTQIa+, neurodiverse (particularly asd & adhd), 2SIQTIP (2-Spirit, Indigiqueer, trans, Indigenous persons), disabled, poly/ENM, and those with diverse and complex intersections. Many of the people I support navigate systemic oppression, trauma, and disconnection from land, culture, spirit, and community. Collaboratively, we focus on collective care, liberation, and finding your truest self—creating space for healing, connection, and resilience in a world that doesn’t always hold space for you.

We all find ourselves in moments where life feels hard. In these moments, we are called upon to explore our soft spots. It is in these spots that we can find flexibility. I have been working with adolescents and their families for over 20 years as a Canadian Certified Counsellor and as an experienced educator in the school system. My therapeutic approach is to offer support and guidance through kindness, compassion, empathy and a dash of good humour. I offer teletherapy counselling across BC and welcome all folks. In particular, I am passionate about working with people who identify as Queer and their families.
