Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Are you a youth or adult experiencing difficult life transitions, stress, anxiety, or different forms of depression? My approach is centered on meeting each individual where they are in their journey and empowering them to choose their own path forward. During our sessions, I cultivate a supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment that respects each client's unique needs and experiences. I believe that every person has a story worth telling, and I am committed to creating a safe space where they can explore their feelings and perspectives.

Negative life experiences not only affect a person individually, but relationally as well. Survivors can begin to experience issues with trust, communication and closeness that often create a pattern of distancing in order to avoid conflict. From my years of training and experience, both personally and professionally, I believe in the power of reconnecting with the self and others to heal.

I help improve memory, emotions and behaviour by using LORETA neurofeedback. LORETA neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free method of teaching the brain new skills. Conditions treated include: Concussion and other brain injuries, Difficulty with memory or thinking, Eating Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Chronic pain, Stroke rehab, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I may also use counseling, transcranial electrical stimulaiton, and vagus nerve stimulation. Most patients only need the assessment and 10 one hour treatments (over 5 to 10 weeks) which means my therapy is less expensive than most therapies.

I specialize in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related concerns.

Experiences such as divorce, a layoff, the death of a loved one, emigration or the children moving house, bring with them changes that are difficult to assimilate and face. These situations mark people's lives, making them feel misunderstood, frustrated, sad or depressed, even making them question the meaning of life. But despite this, they want to find answers to accept reality and move on. I have had some of these experiences and now I am dedicated to supporting people to overcome them. I offer you to schedule your first appointment only for 90$ only in Spanish. Send me an email or send me a text.

Currently accepting new clients online / / As a Counsellor, Somatic Counsellor and a Certified Trauma Professional I focus on the unique wellness of each individual client and take a client centered holistic approach. I have helped clients achieve their desired life path while supporting them through challenges such as processing trauma, major life events, ending of a relationship, and/or anxiety to name a few. I've also helped clients to identify their strengths and re-author the stories, values or beliefs that no longer serve them.

I work with adults experiencing stress and anxiety, workplace stress, life changes, relationship challenges, and those interested in finding higher purpose and fulfilment. Together we will focus on your strengths and abilities to help make positive changes in your life. I use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Somatic therapy in my clinical sessions. Prior to clinical counselling I worked for many years in leadership positions in the workplace.

If you're tired of anxiety running your life, if your relationship has grown stale or is filled with conflict, if you're dealing with trauma or feeling stuck, empty or unhappy and don't know what to do to change your life, I can help. I will quickly get to the heart of what's not working for you and how you can change it. You don't have to suffer anymore. I've been a therapist and life and relationship coach for over twenty years.

When you are feeling lost and overwhelmed, those next steps forward can seem intimidating or perhaps impossible. If you feel alone and stuck, unsure of how to move forward or what that journey even looks like, you have come to the right place. I believe that therapy should be a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental environment. I love holding space for people to process their concerns so that they can make a meaningful change in their lives.

Welcome! There is not a one-size-fits-all approach in mental health. My goal is to provide a safe space for us to figure out together how you can live a fuller life that feels aligned with your individual needs, wants, values and intentions. I can support you in incorporating healthy habits and developing new skills for your toolbox. I can also guide you on working in your relationship with yourself, by becoming more aware and curious of your emotions, bodily sensations, and thoughts. I want us to embrace every part of you with compassion.

I imagine you might be struggling in some way at the moment. Maybe things are not the way you thought they would be. Maybe you imagined your life would have turned out differently. Perhaps you have had some painful life experiences that are feeling difficult to heal. Our grief and loss are exactly that and need to be honoured. What I do believe is if we allow space for our emotions and give the pain the attention it needs, we can experience some relief from that pain and find where the light can seep in. We then can build a life full of meaning and happiness.

Increasing one's resilience is important because it gives us the strength needed to process life and overcome hardship. Without resilience we can easily become overwhelmed, give up on our dreams, and may even turn to unhealthy coping strategies. My purpose is guiding others to healthier and happier ways of 'being' in this world. This includes increasing resiliency by expanding one's window of tolerance to weather the ebbs and flows through self regulation, connection and relationship. Working from a trauma-informed perspective, I prioritize establishing safety and trust, by providing a non-judgemental, nurturing environment.

Counseling is, thankfully, no longer considered something reserved for individuals with severe mental health concerns. Today we are increasingly comfortable admitting many would benefit from dedicated space where our personal concerns, challenges, and goals can be carefully tended to. My clients learn quickly that therapy is about dialogue and consistent attention to their sadness, depression, anxiety, worries, and difficulties in different spheres of their lives (relationships, parenting, work, money, environment, to name a few). Clients often seek a deeper sense of purpose and engagement, therapy can help achieve this.
