You're not here because you lack insight. You're here because insight hasn't changed what happens next. You know why you get anxious or pull away. You may even see it happening and still feel the same response take over. Perhaps therapy gave you understanding or better ways to cope, but the pattern still organizes your life. Many of my clients are used to solving hard problems. This is the one they can't solve by thinking harder or trying harder. They want to work directly with what keeps it in place.

Ganeshiva Counselling and Wellness
Counsellor, BSc, MPsych
Victoria, BC V8X
In Sanskrit, the human condition is known as "PurashArth" translated as the meaning of existence. That is we all want to be happy, we work towards being happy, and we seek eternal happiness. In my practice and personal lived experience, I have observed that we all have a desire to be 'seen', and 'heard', this is how we feel included. When these three are missing, we become stuck here and do not know how to step out into our true Self. I strongly believe that once we make that choice to seek our true Self, together the therapist and client evolve toward their goals. To find that peace and joy that is not in the far distance but here.

Being a human is hard - life can be painful and overwhelming. If you feel like you're overthinking and anxious, your self-critic is loud, you're tired but wired and at the mercy of emotions - you're not alone. As a therapist and nutritionist, I specialize in the bidirectional influence of our mental and physical health on wellbeing. I help folks understand and partner with their nervous systems and bodies, so that they can gain freedom from the past, patterns and perspectives that are holding them back. I work with teens (15+) and adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, big life transitions and trauma.

People living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and complex PTSD are often misunderstood. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma, stigma, shame, and feeling like they have to hide parts of themselves just to be accepted. You don't have to do that here. I'm deeply passionate about supporting people with BPD and helping change the way it is understood. I believe that every behaviour makes sense in the context of a person's experiences, and that healing begins when we move away from asking, "What's wrong with you?" and start asking, "What happened to you?"

Your family means everything to you, but parenting can feel overwhelming when your child is struggling emotionally or behaviourally. You may be watching them cope with anxiety, big emotions, loss, trauma, or difficult transitions and wondering how to help. Many parents quietly ask themselves, Am I doing this right? Sometimes our own past experiences can make parenting even harder. At the heart of it all, parents want the same thing: for their children to feel confident, connected, resilient, and hopeful about their future.

Racialized adults, trauma-exposed professionals, couples in crisis, neurodiverse people, and others. I've noticed a trend... Some people wait as long as they can before getting support, others reach out early, but no one is better off alone. Trauma holds us back. Neurodiversity complicates things (like navigating a society not designed with you in mind!). Grief, Loss, and other Life Transitions pile on extra stress during trying times. With support, I'm confident you'll find your way forward.

Many capable, self-aware adults struggle with anxiety that shows up most in relationships — overthinking, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or feeling “too much” and yet not enough. I specialize in attachment-focused therapy for those who want to understand why they react the way they do and how to feel more secure. Together we calm the nervous system, untangle old patterns, and build lasting emotional security so you can experience steadier, more connected relationships — including the one you have with yourself.

It’s tough trying to find the right counsellor, especially if your plate's already pretty full. Most people I work with are carrying stress, uncertainty, or an impression that things shouldn’t be this hard. You don’t need perfect words or a clear plan when we meet - just a sense that it’s time for things to go a bit differently. In sessions, you can expect to build skills to take care of yourself, your life, and others with greater clarity and compassion. Regardless of what we focus on, know that you'll be welcomed exactly as you are. You’ll find an environment where all parts of you can be seen, understood, and respected.

A therapy session with me is like having a place to put down everything you've been carrying and finally having space to breathe. We'll take a look at what you've brought in and make sense of it together. As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I work with adults, parents, and couples navigating difficulties like trauma, anxiety, depression, stress and overwhelm, patterns of stuckness, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. In session, we’ll talk about your life, what you’re struggling with, and what support would be most helpful. From there, we’ll create a plan together that fits you and your goals.
