Tired of the stuckness? Know a fuller life is waiting for you on the other side of it? I'm Carly, an RCC specializing in trauma-informed, evidence based therapy for Adult ADHD, academic/career anxiety, burnout recovery, trauma & CPTSD, self-esteem & grief. I practice relationally, from an unyielding belief in human resilience and potential. My style is warm & patient, my techniques grounded in neuroscience & practical resilience strategies (DBT, CBT, IFS). I am also a lived experience therapist. My counselling focuses are as such because I have both clinical training and deep personal understanding of these experiences.

As a neurodiverse counsellor living in Vancouver, I work with adults navigating self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or trying to make sense of your experiences and identity. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s been coming up for you, process past experiences, and reconnect with what matters most. I value transparency, compassion, and showing up authentically, and I believe that building trust starts with aligning what I say with how I show up in the room, virtual or in-person.

I believe healing happens in connection. We’re not meant to face pain, grief, or change in isolation — and therapy can offer a space to be met with care, curiosity, and respect for your full story. With over ten years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve supported children, youth, adults, couples, and families across a variety of settings, including private practice, community agencies, residential care, and group therapy. I’ve helped clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, relationship issues, life transitions, and more.

You might find yourself overthinking or second-guessing in relationships more than you’d like, even when things are technically okay. This can show up as feeling uncertain, reactive, or not quite like yourself, along with a sense of getting caught in the same dynamics even when part of you wants something different. You may wonder why this keeps happening or how to feel more steady and secure. Therapy offers a space to slow things down, understand what’s underneath these experiences, and begin responding in ways that feel more grounded and manageable.

“This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.” Rumi’s words remind us that our emotional landscape is constantly shifting. Joy, sorrow, impulsivity, or an unexpected wave of grief can show up without warning, each feeling like a guest we did not anticipate. For those who experience intense emotional swings or who feel overwhelmed, lost, or caught in persistent sadness, these changes can feel unbearable. In moments like these, a steady and supportive connection can offer grounding and help navigate the uncertainties.

You’ve worked hard to keep things together, but inside, it often feels like you’re carrying too much. You may feel anxious, disconnected, or easily overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere. Perhaps you’ve gone through painful experiences that still feel “too close,” no matter how much time has passed. If this sounds familiar, please know returning to safety in your body and life again is possible.

I prioritize a non-judgmental and deeply empathetic approach to anxiety and other concerns that's individualized to your needs. I want to help you understand your challenges and feel confident in your ability to grow through them. One of my favourite aspects of helping others is that moment when it clicks for a client that the change they want is possible. I'd be thrilled at the chance to support you toward that moment and beyond. Clients have brought a wide variety of concerns to my office, and I've helped them grow their strength around difficult feelings, set clear paths forward, and unburden themselves of immobilizing shame.

It's your first time to therapy, or you haven't found the right therapist. If you want result driven care with real and relatable therapists, we may be the right clinic for you!

I work with adults across British Columbia who may appear highly capable on the outside while internally struggling with trauma, chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, nervous system overwhelm, emotional disconnection, or relationship difficulties. Many clients are insightful and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns that talking alone has not resolved. My approach is grounded, trauma-informed, and relational, integrating EMDR therapy to help clients feel more regulated, connected, emotionally present, and able to move forward with greater steadiness and authenticity.

Maybe you’ve just been diagnosed, are exploring a new relationship style, or are navigating a mismatch in how your brain works compared to someone you love. You’re looking for a space to be understood without needing to explain every part of yourself, and support that feels grounding, curious, and authentic.

Navigating a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent person can be overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem often stem from years of feeling misunderstood or unsupported in social, academic, or work environments. In therapy, we can explore your strengths, challenges, and goals—empowering you to work with your brain, not against it. I work with individuals with conditions such as ADHD and Autism (ASD) to establish coping strategies, gain personal insight and address lasting trauma.
