Crime Victim (CVAP / VQRP / IVAC) Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Have you ever felt that you appear to be doing well on the outside while quietly struggling within? Anxiety that is hard to explain, repeated hurt in relationships, or a lingering sense of exhaustion can leave you feeling lost or disconnected. Therapy offers a calm, non-judgmental space to gently explore your inner experiences. It is not only about solving problems, but about reconnecting with yourself, understanding emotional patterns, and moving toward a more grounded and meaningful way of living.

When life feels disconnected from self, relationships, work, or a sense of belonging, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with adults and couples seeking calmer days, clearer boundaries, more connected communication, and a steadier relationship with their nervous system. I also work with immigrants, cross-cultural professionals, and neurodivergent clients (Au/ADHD). Common reasons people see me include anxiety, burnout, chronic pain, trauma impacts, relationship strain, and major life transitions.

Hi, I'm Ramona. I’m a social worker, trauma counsellor, ADHD/academic coach, & researcher.
I support kids/teens, adults, & families with acute, chronic, & complex trauma/PTSD, plus challenges with identity, relationships, life transitions, & executive function. I have a special interest in helping people with ADHD & neurodivergence (e.g., ASD, NVLD, dyslexia), and/or complex cultural identities, migration stories, & mixed-race or Third Culture (TCK/A) heritage.
Authenticity is everything to me. As a mixed-race, ADHD, TCK, first-gen immigrant, I know what it’s like to move through systems that were never built for your complexity.

You may be feeling stuck — caught in patterns you can’t quite change, struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, or the effects of past experiences. You might be navigating relationship challenges, communication struggles, or a sense of disconnection — from yourself or someone you love. Whether you’re seeking therapy on your own or with a partner, I offer a therapeutic space for you to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to feel calmer, more confident, and present in your life and relationships.

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Transitions, relationships, and the ups and downs of our inner world can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning your direction. You may find yourself in familiar relationship patterns, feeling anxious beneath the surface, or noticing patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to set boundaries, even when you know something needs to change. Part of you understands what’s happening, but another part still feels stuck. Together, we’ll look at the patterns underneath what you’re experiencing, not just the symptoms, so change feels meaningful and lasting.

I focus on working with intense emotions, insecure attachment, acute and developmental trauma, nervous system healing, and neurodiversity. Part of therapy with me is practicing being in safe, secure relationship where your feedback and needs are valued & integrated into our work. I primarily work through a body-based somatic lens, with additional training in the worlds of sex therapy, relationships, and altered state integration. I have seen how connecting with and resourcing the body to process stuck emotions in a loving container leads to healing and relief.

You’re smart, self-aware, and you’ve done your best but you are still feeling stuck. Maybe it’s anxious thoughts, panic attacks, or a trauma that won’t let go. Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same patterns in your relationships, or you’ve tried talk therapy before and didn’t get the results you hoped for. You want therapy that works, and therapy that’s effective, efficient, and grounded in neuroscience. You’re ready for real relief, and lasting change. That’s what my team and I offer.
