Infertility Therapists in Vancouver, BC

I specialize in helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, relationships and life transitions, infertility and pregnancy loss, relationship or marriage struggles. We, humans are born as WHOLE beings, we are worthy of love, we crave attachment, safety and connection. Sometimes we experience life events that may make us feel: stressed, angry, lonely, hurt, or unworthy of love. Having experienced trauma, loss and grief in my personal life, I know what it feels like to feel stuck, helpless, and worst of all, hopeless.

I bring empathy, warmth, and collaboration as a therapist and aim to create meaningful connections through the safe exploration of experiences shaping your life. I have worked extensively with anxiety, depression, trauma (including childhood trauma), sexual assault/abuse, grief/loss, relationship/family issues, stress, as well as chronic and acute health issues. I also have a heartfelt interest, and post-graduate training, in working with individuals and couples impacted by infertility and perinatal/postpartum mental health. I bring 15 years of experience and work with adults (individuals and couples).

Are you wanting to find your light, be more at peace, connect and/or feel okay? Have you recently experienced a pregnancy and/or infant loss? Are you trying to get pregnant and struggling with infertility ? Then you are at the right place. I want you to know that you are not broken, messed up, alone or whatever other script you have running in your mind. Perhaps you are looking for a little guidance or help to see a new perspective or recognize the patterns that are no longer serving you.

I am passionate about my work, and have dedicated the last 10 years of my life to helping people create change. My clients are dealing with real life issues - relationships, fertility struggles, adjustment to parenthood, family of origin dynamics, and major life transitions. I aim to create a space where clients are free to explore their fears, doubts, strengths, and needs. Some clients require a faster, more solution-focused therapy process, while others want to meet regularly and have that person to continually connect with and receive support from. I am open to both and see it as a privilege to be invited into people’s lives.

Are you feeling “stuck” or experiencing physical or emotional symptoms such as : grief, anxiety or overwhelm from infertility and/or pregnancy loss, anxiety or depression during pregnancy or postpartum, trauma from a difficult birth, pelvic pain, tension, or heaviness , menstrual pain or PMS symptoms, or trauma from experiences of sexual assault ? Do you feel disconnected from your body, experience difficulty setting boundaries or taking care of your needs? Do you have a desire to express yourself, be heard, or feel understood? Do you have a desire to bring more creativity, joy or pleasure into your life? I can help.

Welcome! Therapy is a place to learn about yourself, your relationships, and how past experiences have impacted you. Are you constantly feeling worried and overwhelmed? Do you feel sad and overcome by negative thoughts? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you grieving a loss? Do you struggle with anxiety and/or depression? I work with clients who are struggling with common life challenges and transitions and want to learn ways to cope, manage their stress, and feel better. My goal is to create a space where you can talk about how you are doing without feeling judged and feel empowered on your own journey of healing.

At Illuminate Counselling, our therapists have both the professional AND the lived experience in our specialized areas of practice. We believe this combination – competence and relatability – is key to providing the best possible journey through counselling. An authentic and human experience.

Supporting individuals navigate life's challenges is why I became a counsellor. Life can be overwhelming and we all need support. Through evidence based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy, I help those struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, bipolar disorder, anger, low self esteem and PMDD. I also support those impacted by loss, grief and infertility .

Often becoming a parent- or struggling to become one- can leave us vulnerable and anxious in a way we have never before experienced. I feel a strong calling to offer help to individuals and families journeying through the reproductive years. I want to support you through struggles with fertility, or the grief after pregnancy loss. I can help with traumatic birth experiences, difficulties transitioning to parenthood, or relationship difficulties associated with any of these events.

You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and uncertain, and are spending lots of time thinking, second guessing yourself, and searching for meaning. Perhaps you feel like you can't think anymore; that you are too depleted to go beyond your essential day-to-day tasks. You might be struggling to conceive and experiencing self-doubt, jealousy, and a lack of control. Or, perhaps you are pregnant or already a parent, and are feeling pulled along an emotional roller coaster where you're not in the driver's seat. You might remember a time when you felt more confident, clear, and connected, and are wondering how to get back there.

Are you struggling to maintain positive relationships at work, with your partner, within your family, and with your children? Are you a parent who is struggling with your child's behaviour while managing your expectations? I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor providing therapeutic interventions for individuals, parents, adolescents and children. My areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, self-regulation, and parenting.

My purpose and my passion is to help you fully remember who and what you truly are! The beautiful, perfect soul you are, prior to all the programming and conditioning that's had you believing that you're just "not good enough". This "not good enough" nonsense, is nothing more than an indoctrinated/brainwashed belief. It is at the root cause of all pain and trauma. It underlies all of humanity's suffering. It is indeed, the real pandemic on this planet. It has infected entirely all of us. It is the greatest, most ridiculous most asinine lie that has ever been sold to humanity! My job and my joy is to help you heal from this insanity.

I believe every human has the capacity to change and this change takes time. In life, we go through highs and lows, and at times the lows seem difficult to overcome. Through therapy, we give ourselves a chance to overcome hardships and find strength within ourselves, bringing forth a lifetime of positive change. I provide compassionate care with the aim of guiding and empowering individuals as they work towards healing. I create a safe, non-judgmental, relaxed, and supportive environment.

Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion. Welcome to my page.
