In Person Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I offer sessions in-person between Sundays and Wednesdays.
The people I work with tend to be caring, open-minded, and high-functioning folks who at times march to the beat of their own drummer or have a unique perspective, who may struggle at times even if they don't show it, and who like to ‘get to the heart of things’ in their relationships, in their work, and in their engagement with life. Many things in this life can hurt us, our habitual defences against pain can muddle things, and sometimes we just get lost. Whether you are in the process of healing yourself, fostering deeper connection with others, or pursuing a life well-lived, I am here to support you.

I offer in-person sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and online sessions on Monday evenings
Sometimes the hardest struggles are the ones we carry silently. Maybe you're always taking care of others, setting high expectations, finding it difficult to feel proud of achievements or constantly questioning whether you're enough. Whatever your story is, you deserve a place where you can set those expectations down for a while, feel heard without judgment, and find your way back to yourself.
I support women, including overwhelmed moms navigating postpartum and the challenges of parenthood, athletes managing performance pressure and perfectionism, and teens working through self-esteem and body image.

Creativity can help us express so much more than words alone. Art therapy is a therapeutic process that combines art-making and talk-therapy, providing a safe and creative outlet for exploring thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to express.
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.

I offer in person sessions in Vancouver on Mondays and Thursdays and online sessions province-wide in my remaining availability.
You may be struggling with feeling grounded in your sense of self, which affects your relationships, work, or quality of life. You may feel overwhelmed with how to move from day to day, perhaps feeling weighed down and exhausted by daily challenges. If you feel drawn to explore your body’s responses to what you’re facing in life and are searching for hope and agency, I invite you to connect.
I'm here to be with you on this journey, meeting you exactly where you are. I work from a trauma-informed lens, which means I ensure your safety and the path you have walked leading up to our sessions together is at the forefront of our work.

I offer both in person and virtual therapy Tuesdays-Sundays from 12pm-7pm.
First and foremost, I want to get to know you as a person. My focus is on facilitating a conversation and working together to understand what’s been shaping your experiences so you can start making choices that actually feel like you. You might be questioning parts of yourself: your relationships, your identity, or the roles you’ve been expected to play. Maybe things that used to feel clear no longer do. You don’t have to navigate that alone. I’m currently accepting new clients and offer a space to explore these questions with honesty and support.

Relational Trauma Therapist. You may understand yourself and your patterns, but still feel stuck in painful relationship dynamics. You might notice that you overthink interactions, doubt yourself, or struggle to trust your feelings, even when part of you knows something doesn’t feel right. You may be confused about why you feel guilty when someone is hurting you. You may feel you had to disconnect from your needs and feelings to stay safe in a relationship. It’s common to hold conflicting feelings about someone you love and feel hurt by, or to feel pulled between protecting the relationship and protecting yourself.

I offer therapy in person in Kitsilano, Vancouver on a cozy, welcoming couch, or online via video.
Anxiety is one of the most common experiences in our culture, which makes sense given how overstimulated and constantly “on” we are. Phones buzzing, endless information, and fast-paced living. My clients are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, grief, burnout, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, or self-criticism. People come when coping strategies stop working or life feels too heavy to hold alone. I support clients in slowing down, reconnecting with their body and emotions, and understanding the patterns underneath symptoms so they can feel grounded, self-trusting, and more at ease.

Im not taking couples clients right now, but offering online & In-person therapy in vancouver (BC) for women-identifying/non binary adults
Calling all cycle-breakers, HSPs, or those who dance to their own rhythm—therapy can be a sacred path that leads you back home to your truest nature. It offers intentional space to unlearn & remember who you are beneath the roles, expectations, and identities shaped by the world around you. As an RCC with HSP, I support women-identifying or non-binary adults who may over-extend/function for others & need a space to nurture the Self. I work with life transitions, anxiety/nervous system dysregulation, identity or career shifts, spiritual disconnection, and compassion fatigue, with a focus on women’s empowerment & spirituality.

Maybe you've always felt like a lot. Too sensitive, too in your head, too aware of everything beneath the surface. Maybe you've spent years trying to take up less space or logic your way out of patterns you can't seem to break. And yet here you are, still feeling it all.
That's not a flaw. That's where the work gets interesting.

Are you feeling stuck, disconnected, or struggling to feel comfortable with yourself or others? Does it feel like memories, relationships or experiences from the past continue to hijack your mind and body? Trauma symptoms can show up in a variety of ways, often mistaken as simply anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties. If you are ready to try therapy that goes deeper than simply reframing thoughts, you've come to the right place. I bring a compassionate and non-judgmental approach. Common areas I work with are perfectionism, anxiety, relationships, trauma, self-worth, and sensitive folx.
