Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, especially when trauma, anxiety, depression, or disconnection have left you feeling stuck or alone. I support people in healing from the impacts of trauma using trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR, to facilitate processing difficult experiences, reconnecting with themselves, and creating lasting change. Together, we’ll explore the impact of past experiences, build safety and self-understanding, and support your growth. My approach honours your unique story while helping you reconnect with yourself and create meaningful change in your life.

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 20 years in Vancouver as a therapist working with children, youth, families and adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I have volunteered working with young offenders in the prison system, and with suicidal individuals through the services of the Vancouver Crisis Centre. Connectedness plays an important role in both my personal and professional life. At times, finding similar thoughts and opinions has helped me feel human. Other times, seeking different ideas and people has helped open my mind to new possibilities.

You are someone who keeps it all together. You may be the person everyone turns to—the responsible one, the caregiver, the peacekeeper, the high achiever. On the outside, you seem to be holding it all together. On the inside, you may feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected from yourself, or caught in painful relationship patterns that keep repeating despite your best efforts. I help adults navigating trauma, attachment styles, childhood experiences, abuse, grief, and loss, anxiety, burnout, low self-worth, family conflict, and relationship challenges. I integrate somatic, parts-based, and attachment focused approaches to healing.

I support adult women who feel stuck in painful emotional patterns - whether that shows up as anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a sense of losing themselves in the needs of others. Many of my clients are navigating the impact of childhood experiences, unresolved attachment wounds, or long-standing behaviours that keep repeating in ways that no longer serve them. If you're wanting to understand yourself more deeply, build healthier boundaries, reconnect to your worth, heal old emotional patterns, or show up in relationships with more confidence and clarity, I can help get you there.

Regardless of age, we all experience life transitions that shift how we see ourselves and the world, prompting deep questions: “Who am I?”, “What do I want?”, “Who do I want to become?”, “What is my soul asking for?”, “What is my purpose?”. Maybe you've already started asking. Though everything seems fine, there's an unexplained emptiness. Motivation is low, and nothing truly excites you—but this isn't who you are. You are curious, motivated, and alive. You’re ready to move forward and build a life filled with satisfaction and contentment.

Everyday, I witness how trauma, self-doubt, and unresolved problematic patterns create barriers to connection and prevent growth. Unmet needs and unspoken emotions profoundly shape how we relate to ourselves and others, and they often leave us feeling hurt, lonely, and misunderstood. In my practice, we'll make space for every part of you, especially those in need of support, compassion, and validation. Together, we'll explore and embrace each one, allowing you to better understand who you are and what you need. Moreover, this deepened self-awareness and self-acceptance will help you cultivate closer intimate relationships
