Psychosis Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I support clients with challenges related to: depression, anxiety, serious mental illness (i.e. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder), stress, anger, work/life balance, self-harm, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, parent-teen conflict, infertility, use of artificial reproductive technology (i.e. IVF/IUI) and pregnancy loss.
I am a Registered Psychologist and see clients at my office in Vancouver (Kitsilano). Through a respectful, non-judgemental, client-centred approach, my clients are empowered to become active participants in the treatment process. They learn the skills necessary to cope with difficult emotions and life experiences. I have extensive experience in the treatment of adolescents and adults through my private practice and my work in the public service. The approaches I use include cognitive-behavioural, systemic, brief and solution-focused therapies. However, I will always tailor my treatment and interventions to the needs of my client.

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.
I'm a therapist and founder of Oddly Human Counselling. I work with thoughtful, complex, and often neurodivergent adults who are tired of managing their inner world and ready to actually understand it.

I approach counselling from a lens that is grounded in the continued practice of anti-racism, disability justice, queer theory, sex positivity, and that recognizes the systemic violence that has, and continues to, harm us and impact our experiences in the world, and inside ourselves. The main niche of folks that I have had the honour of working with over the years have been queer and trans folks, sex workers, disabled folks, non-traditional relationship networks, kink and bdsm communities, BIPOC folks, folks navigating complex trauma, and those living at the intersections of many of these identities.

I understand how problems with sex and sexuality can have an immense negative impact on your quality of life, including your relationships, your mental health, and the way that you see yourself. But these problems are not insurmountable; treatment can be very effective. I'm a registered psychologist, and specialize in treating sexual problems and disorders. My treatment methods (CBT and ACT) are based on extensive research and clinical evidence demonstrating their effectiveness. Most importantly, my clients tell me that I put them at ease, quickly earn their trust, and make it comfortable to talk about their most intimate problems.

At an early age and throughout my life, as I have struggled with life’s ebbs and flows, I have realized how support and connection can provide people with a space for discovery. Through my own personal experiences, I have learned how essential it is to have a space to be heard. I believe in supporting those who are struggling to have a voice, and for that voice to provide a pathway towards growth and wellness. I am passionate about people, healing, and supporting those who need it most. My personal and professional values are intertwined. I believe in empowerment and supporting individuals to be the best they can be.

Vancouver, BC V6Z
You may feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, or trauma; feel disconnected in your relationships; or face identity questions, life transitions, or burnout. Many of my clients are navigating the stress of being “different”- as LGBTQ+, immigrants, professionals under pressure, or simply people carrying invisible burdens. You want relief from shame, confusion, or isolation, and a space where you can be understood without judgment. You may long for clarity about who you really are, healthier connections, or the ability to live more authentically. My role is to support you in rediscovering resilience, meaning, and self-confidence.

Sometimes it’s hard to notice when things aren't going well. It might be subtle signs that pop up at the end of the day. You feel like the day is going well and you’re keeping busy. But as soon as you have a moment of silence, your mind starts to cycle through things that you just don't want to think about. Do you find it hard to sit still and be at peace in these moments? Do you distract yourself as much as possible just so you don’t listen to your own thoughts? Maybe you have a hard time completing any of your important tasks? These are all normal reactions. Signals that your body is giving you to pay attention to.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety disorders, OCD, couples and people with complex difficulties who may have been given multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

Olá! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in British Columbia with a doctoral degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I previously worked as a psychologist in Brazil. With over 23 years of clinical experience, I support clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions such as immigration, separation, career changes, and midlife crises. As an immigrant myself, I understand how important it is to feel seen, culturally understood, and supported by a sense of belonging in the healing process.

Do you often feel anxious without a clear cause, find it hard to slow down, feel emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected? These experiences often signal deeper emotions that are hard to access due to unresolved past experiences or trauma. Throughout life, especially in early relationships, we develop strategies to maintain connections and manage anxiety around our emotions. While adaptive, these strategies often become barriers in relationships and to living authentically. By collaboratively uncovering these protective strategies and processing underlying emotions, we can help you move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.

You’re caught in cycles that feel familiar but draining—overthinking, shutting down, or grappling with emotions that hit hard and fast. You strive for high standards, yet beneath it all, anxiety, self-doubt, or the weight of past trauma make it tough to feel in control. You’re not broken—you’re resilient, but you’re tired of just surviving. You’re ready to understand what drives these patterns and gain tools to live with confidence and connection.

Find relief after concussion or brain injury. You may be struggling with overwhelming emotions, memory changes, anxiety, or a loss of confidence in your mind and body.

Do you feel STUCK? When we feel stuck we start to question our life’s purpose and often start to doubt past and future decisions. Feeling stuck can often lead to confusion, hopelessness, fear, paralysis and lack of motivation. These experiences can generally cause anxiety, panic, depression and generally a low quality of life. Although these feelings can be incredibly painful and may lead you to feel helpless, it’s important to remind yourself that with the right support, you can change your life.
