Are you caught in a frustrating loop of misunderstandings? Perhaps intense emotional reactions are creating distance, or you're navigating the complexities of a neurodiverse relationship. Alternatively, seeking individual or couples support with managing emotional dysregulation or moving through a world not built for your neurodivergent brain may have left you feeling exhausted and burnt out. When your relationship is unsteady or your nervous system is overwhelmed, it impacts everything. You might feel misunderstood, isolated, or stuck in painful cycles. Your experiences are valid, and you don't have to figure this out alone.

You may be feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to repair trust after hurt or emotional distance. You might be navigating a major relationship transition such as commitment decisions, premarital preparation, separation, or rebuilding after betrayal. You may notice the same patterns repeating and want help understanding what is happening beneath the surface. Ultimately, you want more emotional closeness, clearer communication, and a relationship that feels secure, respectful, and supportive rather than exhausting, tense, or confusing.

Welcome, I’m Cathrine. I believe that relationships to ourselves, one another, the land, and all living beings have the ability to inspire, heal, and transform us. Throughout my own healing journey, I have come to believe that experiences of deep connection, wholeness, and happiness are not only possible, but are our unique birthright as humans. If you are looking to explore, discover, or reconnect with your most authentic Self and live more fully from a place of integrity and self-compassion, my approach may be a good fit for you.

As a bilingual counsellor fluent in both English and Chinese, I offer a unique perspective that bridges Western and Chinese cultures to help clients discover their own distinctive identities. My counselling approach is comprehensive, utilizing post-modern narrative theory to view clients as whole individuals, rather than pathologizing or labeling them. I work with clients aged 18 and up, including seniors, and specialize in parent-adult children relationship counselling, life, career and executive coaching, and couple counselling. As a supervisor candidate, I am currently offering low cost supervision for interns and counsellors.

You are a naturally curious free spirit, yet you feel confined by societal, cultural, or familial expectations that prevent you from being your true self. It’s as if you’re stuck in a box, longing to break free but unsure how. You seek to impact the world positively by giving love, kindness, and understanding, yet you also crave to receive what you offer. Conflicting advice on how to live leaves you confused, and you're ready to break through these barriers to live in a way that is meaningful to you.

Is change possible? Can you feel better? Is healing real or just hyped-up? I remember asking the same questions. Let's talk. Let's find out what's showing up in your relationships, and/or between you and what you want. It's a brave thing to look change in the face and not "know" the mental roadmap. But I can help with this part. We can do it together. You'll drive and I'll use my training to help you discover more about why you 'always' drive to the same place, or why you have stopped driving altogether. I hold the trust that you have what it takes to find more open roads! (now let me stop with this metaphor for now!)
