SunLife Therapists in Vancouver, BC
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I use a client-centred, integrative approach to address the therapeutic goals of clients. No one should be defined by their diagnoses, and rather than placing emphasis on what is not working, I collaborate with clients to determine what actions can be taken to improve on their circumstances. All individuals exist along their own continuum of mental health, and with adequate supports and a focus on holistic well-being, every client can be nurtured towards growth and a healthier sense of self.

Life in the world today can feel overwhelming. That’s a reasonable response, especially with complex trauma, attachment struggles, or when you’re exhausted from pushing through, overthinking, caretaking, or holding everything together. You may feel stuck in old patterns, dysregulated, disconnected from your body, or unsure how to move forward despite the insight you have.
I work with adults who feel deeply and think deeply; seekers, outsiders and cycle-breakers navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, or the lingering effects of growing up without enough safety, support, or space to fully be themselves.

You’re trying to manage multiple responsibilities, yet you often feel lonely, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your self-worth.

Together, we’ll explore patterns, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change in your life.

You may appear capable and high-functioning, yet privately struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. You replay conversations, question your decisions, or feel easily triggered in close relationships. A persistent inner critic follows you, leaving you drained or uncertain. You long for deeper, more secure connection but fear rejection, abandonment, or being “too much.” You’re tired of repeating patterns that keep you stuck, and you want to understand why they formed, feel more emotionally steady, respond differently under stress, and build relationships and a life that feel safe, balanced, and authentic.

Something in you knows it’s time to heal, but part of you may still feel unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns. Maybe trauma or attachment wounds from the past are showing up in your relationships, emotional reactions, or sense of self. You want more than surface-level support, you want lasting change. I work with thoughtful clients who are ready to go deeper. Using Internal Family Systems and EMDR, I help you figure out what’s been holding you back so you can live with more clarity, peace, and self-trust.

You might be someone who already understands yourself. You've tried therapy before...
You’ve reflected, made connections, and still find yourself stuck in the same patterns.
Overthinking, feeling overwhelmed (or shut down), or being the “strong one” while quietly struggling.
If that’s where you are, you’re not alone, and you’re not the problem!
I help you get to the heart of what’s really going on beneath the surface, making sense of the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that developed for very real reasons.

Hello, I'm Joni. Whether you're new to counselling or have been through the process before, I welcome the opportunity to connect with you.
I believe that healing happens through a supportive, non-judgmental relationship where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach is client-centered, relational, and mindfulness-based. With over 20 years of practicing and teaching meditation and yoga, I often draw on the wisdom of the nervous system, the body, and the mind-body-spirit connection to support greater awareness and healing.

Counselling can be seen as planting a seed that, with nurturing and attention, will grow into something beautiful. Every individual is akin to a seed that undergoes continual growth, advancing through each fleeting season filled with moments of happiness, sorrows, triumphs, bravery, disappointments, and fresh starts. Like seeds, humans require sources and resources to aid them in reaching their full potential, such as sunlight, rain, and soil. And just like every seed holds importance, every human being also possesses inherent value. By choosing to seek counseling, you have taken the first step towards transformation.

I work with people who carry responsibility deeply such as first responders, veterans, parents, creatives, and caregivers - often the ones others depend on. Beneath the surface, there’s often grief, burnout, disconnection, or a harsh inner critic that won’t ease up. My work supports people in making space for themselves again: emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Whether you’re navigating loss, trauma, ADHD, parenting challenges, or looking into psychedelic integration, I offer a grounded approach to help you reconnect with yourself, explore the roots of what’s going on, and move toward more clarity, connection, and ease.

You may be insightful, self-aware, and functioning well on the surface, while also feeling emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. Both can be true. Therapy can help you regain your footing.
I believe therapy should do more than help you cope. It should help you understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful shifts in how you experience your life, relationships, and inner world.
