SunLife Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I, Nancy Aguirre, focus my practice on trauma because stressful life changes, neglect, abandonment, emotional/physical/sexual childhood abuse, rejection, exploitation, incest or family violence could result in experiencing distorted perceptions, emotions, beliefs and meanings about the self and life. Trauma freezes the traumatic experience in the nervous system creating unhelpful thinking, and negative self-assessment. These conditions can affect your capacity to tolerate and adapt to life's ups and downs; break old patterns that hold you back; avoid engaging in risky behaviours; and re-enacting your past traumas over and over.

My name is Veronica and I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia. I hold a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP). In the past, I have worked directly with individuals experiencing a range of diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and sexuality-based issues.

“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.

“The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why.” — Mark Twain
Therapy is not about labels or being told what to do. It is about understanding yourself, making meaningful choices, and creating lasting change. I believe people are more than their symptoms, diagnoses, or past experiences. Whether you are facing trauma, addiction, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, therapy can help you better understand your story, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and direction.

If you're feeling stuck or are having difficulty focusing, I can help you. I've worked successfully with older adolescents, adults, and couples struggling with (among other things) anxiety, depression, issues around sexuality, and relationship difficulties. Therapy is an opportunity to share your innermost thoughts and feelings in a safe space. I offer a warm and supportive environment where you can express and explore ideas openly and honestly. I am active in therapy and will challenge you with constructive feedback when appropriate. Therapy may entail examining patterns in your life that block you from feeling fulfilled.

Therapy is not for the faint of heart, but with the right therapist, you will have a guide on your journey to knowing yourself more intimately.

When I think about the work that I do with folks, I see clients who are on the precipice of a breakthrough. Transitions, heavy adjustments, longing, desire for change are a few issues that come to mind. They are often grappling with matters of identity which typically clash with another part of themselves they discovered or perhaps buried. They are attempting to reconcile what has happened to them. Usually, they have been on this search for some time and need a space in which they can learn, unlearn, and relearn. Other times, it is a space to acknowledge and name the pain. They want freedom to express themselves authentically.

You look like you're holding it all together on the outside, but inside, you're exhausted. Maybe you've spent years putting others first, questioning your worth, overthinking your relationships, or carrying wounds from experiences that still affect you today. You want deeper connections, healthier boundaries, and a stronger relationship with yourself, but you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns. You're tired of just surviving and ready to understand yourself on a deeper level.
